About the operator
Don’t take it from us – here’s what people have to say about this operator:
- petals10 contributionsFantastic catamaran tripWhat a fabulous boat trip from start to finish. The staff were absolutely amazing, the food and drink were lovely and the swim stops and views were amazing too. The food consisted of a Maltese platter mid morning, at lunch pulled pork bap with chicken drumsticks, green salad and potato salad, fruit salad, coffee with cake mid afternoon. The catamaran wasn't over crowded at all. This trip was the highlight of my holiday. Was worth the money I paid. Would book this again.Written 4 November 2024
- carladP5995GS0 contributionsAmazing hosts and food!My friends and I had an amazing time on the Tip Top One Malta boat cruise! The hosts were incredibly welcoming and made sure we had a great experience. The food served was delicious (still waiting for that pulled pork reciepe) the overall atmosphere was so much fun. I would definitely recommend this cruise to anyone looking for a memorable and enjoyable time on the water.Written 26 August 2024
- tailahb20240 contributionsAmazing boat experienceAbsolutely loved it!! Great wine & great times! Fantastic crew The island were beautiful & If you like game of thrones you would love the end of the tour.. look exactly like kings landing! So amazingWritten 26 August 2024
- roip5800 contributionsExcellent value and great way to see MaltaGreat day activity with delicious snacks, lunch and afternoon tea. Beer and wine are free all day. An added bonus trip in their dinghy out to look at the caves was a lovely inclusion we were not expecting. I would recommend if you prefer a boat with less people on board, and pleasantly of space to move around. The crew are all local amd lovely people we got to know throughout the day. Nice to hear their personal stories and memories of this beautiful city.Written 25 August 2024
- elenagB5967KT0 contributionsJust book it!So worth spending the extra money - we walked down the harbour past many other boats which were all packed and it was lovely to board a boat with so much space. They kept us well fed and lots of lovely wine and beer, and all the staff were friendly and accommodating. 5 star experience!Written 22 August 2024
- miawK7193RP0 contributions5 star for sure!!Everything was amazing, we loved the tour they gave us. The view was amazing and time went by super fast! The food especially was fantastic! Everything was cooked to perfection, we had a snack, lunch and dessert! Lunch was the best part. I totally recommend going! You'll have a lot of fun whether it's with family alone or with your partner. Best experience ever!Written 26 June 2024
- Kimberley B0 contributionsA relaxed and splendid way to spend the dayA gorgeous day spent out and about. The team were so friendly and welcoming and everything was organised and efficient on board. We met so many lovely people, enjoyed a delicious lunch and the swimming was amazing. Would highly recommend for a day to explore the stunning surrounds of Malta. Thank you to the team for creating a wonderful day!Written 18 October 2023
- Erik S0 contributionsA wonderful journeyA wonderful journey. The crew was an absolute delight. The food was delicious. And the sights beautiful. It was a very relaxed atmosphere with very nice guests on board. But excitement is also provided with fun caves tours and separate boat rides included. A massive thank you and well done to the team.Written 14 October 2023

- mikekaren19740 contributionsTop Boat Trip in Malta 😃😃Took advice from our hotel concierge recommending this trip - well worth the expense from start to finish the trip was fantastic. The boat itself is superb with plenty of space for everyone and a very relaxed atmosphere throughout the trip. The staff are all fantastic and great hosts - we had a couple of opportunities for swimming with a great lunch and unlimited quality drinks throughout. When in Malta again will definitely be taking the chance to go again ☀️☀️😃😃Written 10 October 2023
- FransS5240 contributionsAn unforgettable floating birthday party .......We contracted Tip Top One day cruise Malta for an afternoon 65th birthday party of my wife Lina. Obviously the intention was to go out and celebrate with around 30 family and friends cruising along the coast of Malta with some stops to swim. However the weather gods were not with us and due to high winds and seas we had to stay at the berth. Nevertheless it turned into a super event. Frederic the skipper, his wife Lianne and the crew did take very good care of all of us and prepared us some delicious food in ample quantities and served nice drinks. We organized some life background music during the party and the boat is very well equipped for it. Communication and organisation in running up to the event and aftercare were also Tip Top ! In summary we can without hesitation recommend Tip Top cruises for these kind of festivities !Written 26 September 2023
- Martha Maria B0 contributionsMust do while in Malta!!What a wonderful experience! I truly enjoyed it and I can’t imagine a better way to explore this beautiful area of Malta as a solo traveler. First of all, the catamaran departs from Silema, but the price includes transportation directly from and back to your hotel, which was very convenient. The crew was super friendly (including the beautiful doggie), and the drinks food were really good and they accommodate vegetarian diets. The group is small for the size of the boat, so it never felt crowded, and the places we visited felt isolated and were not busy, as opposed to the blue lagoon which was packed by the time we passed by. Totally recommend to book this trip; it was one of the highlights of my time in Malta for sure.Written 21 September 2023
- borsag20210 contributionsMalta cruise at its bestOne of the best boat trips we have ever made! A wonderful crew, great food and drinks, even a self-baked Maltese chocolate cake! They brought us to wonderful places around Malta for swimming, sightseeing in maritime caves and giving us a perfect experience in the beautiful spots of Malta, Comino and Gozo. They never overcrowd their boat so we would feel like being on an individual trip. We decided to definetely use TipTop One Day Cruise again when visiting Malta on our next occasion! Many thanks to Frederick, our skipper, who is always up for a good joke and his entire crew!Written 13 July 2023

Just the best way to relax while staying in Malta! This was my third time on the Tip Top One day cruise and as ever it was a sheer delight. Bowling along in the sun with a fine breeze blowing to keep you cool, while taking in the sights of land and blue sea. Super friendly crew, great refreshments and lunch and super cool rosé wine (along with lots of other drinks) free all day. I can’t recommend this cruise highly enough, well worth the money and way above any of the other commercial boats you see going out. Fabulous trip and won’t be my last time on board 😀

Tip Top One’s catamaran tour was the absolute highlight of our trip to Malta. We booked it because we did not want to be on a big, noisy tour boat crowded with hundreds of other tourists. This catamaran held only 44 passengers maximum, and it skimmed the water soundly. There were shaded areas to sit, as well as the catamaran netting with beanbags for the full experience of being on the water. The entire itinerary— including two long stops for swimming in Gozo and Cominio— and a sunset tour of the Grand Harbor was great, as werethe food and drinks. The service was spectacular.
In particular, we appreciated that while the catamaran did not dock in the Blue Lagoon (which was overrun w boats and tourists) we were given a private tour of it by speedboat while we were anchored to swim between the blue lagoon, and the crystal lagoon — out of the way of all of the boat traffic. There was also a harbor tour at the end of the day, full of history.
The barbecue lunch was delicious and what we did not expect was that we were also served antipasti as a snack in the mid morning, and that the captain himself made a homemade chocolate cake to serve to us with watermelon in the late afternoon! There was unlimited, beer, wine, water, and soft drinks.
While we paid more for this trip than the standard tours, we felt that it was intimate, relaxed, and casually luxurious. The hospitality and the kindness of the crew was on display from beginning to end.
This is not a good tour for small children, but it is great for a couples and friends, who want a lovely time on the water without a lot of noise and pandemonium. And you get to see so much of the Maltese islands. It is a full day of sea and sun. It is worth the splurge.

Straight from the start Manuel & the crew were really friendly. The food & drink was very nice - much better than what I have had on previous cruise trips over the years. Even though it was at the trip’s maximum number of passengers, it still felt spacious with plenty of room to move about the boat, compared to all the other cruise boats we saw that day. I thought it was well worth the price & would highly recommend it to anyone else thinking of taking a cruise here.

A W E S O M E! The best decision during our 4 days in Malta. I’ve seen the cruise a while back and wanted to book a spot, but it seemed like it was sold out for the 4th. One evening prior i rechecked and long behold: we could book 2 tickets. The mini-bus picked up from the location we selected c. 30 mins to 11. It’s not worth arriving too early because everyone has a reserved table (seats are not random!). The staff was great, food amazing - starter, bbq, fruits and coffee&cake. Drinks were on the house 😅 we stopped after c.1,5h for a swim & bbq near the blue caves (they even have a speedboat which gets you closer to the caves if you want, free of charge). After lunch, sailed to a second swimming location and afterwards back to the harbor with a detour around Valetta.
I highly recommend the trip as the boat is in great shape, the max capacity is 42 (or 44, not sure - we were 30ish and it was super chill) and everyone has a seat at the table in the shade without any hassle. The crew is very welcoming and the captain cracks a joke or to every time he speaks 😂
Thank you very much for a wonderful experience!!
I wish i had more photos, but my partner is the photographer of the family.

Without question this was the highlight of our trip to Malta and we can't recommend it highly enough. The crew set us at ease and into our table group of eight very quickly and for the duration of the trip it was clear that their sole intent was to make our day as enjoyable as it could be. Whether it was swimming in gorgeous turquoise water before snorkelling and going on a small boat tour around the crystal lagoon; the complimentary lunch of chicken and Maltese sausages barbequed fresh in front of us; or the final harbour tour with complimentary glass of wine in hand, we will always remember this experience fondly and unequivocally highlight it as a must-do attraction on this fantastic island.

This was without doubt the best day of our 5 day stay in Valletta! The boat trip had been cancelled due to bad weather (in September!) but the team were amazing in offering a refund or waiting to see if the sea/ weather conditions improved. I didn’t feel pressurised and the team were communicative and patient, whilst I made a decision. Happily, we were able to go on the last day of our holiday. I’m so glad we went!
What makes it so special is the warmth, good humour and kindness of this lovely family team who dedicate themselves to making you feel welcome and ensuring the day is enjoyable for everyone.
It’s great to have a big boat for 30-40 people as there’s plenty of room to chat or relax and enjoy the experience.
The food and drinks are free flowing and delicious. There’s also a small boat trip around the caves which was an unexpected bonus. Lots of time to swim and enjoy the clear blue waters if you wish. There’s also a trip around Valletta harbour on the way home.
The hosts have clearly put a lot of effort, thought and planning into making this a perfect day.
We are so grateful to the team for making our day so special and would return and repeat this experience in a heartbeat!
If you’re looking at this trip and wondering if it worth it - it most certainly is the best day ever and I wouldn’t hesitate to recommend it to everyone. Book it now!!

This is without a doubt the highlight of our trip to Malta and most definitely worth paying extra for as there was only around 40 ppl on board in comparison to other boats which were packed out. The staff were so friendly and helpful, boat was immaculate and the food was amazing. Free flowing drinks all day (beer, wines, soft drinks and water). The dingy trip into the caves at crystal lagoon was amazing and we had ample time for swimming at our too stop. Overall amazing and if I return to Malta I will most definitely book this trip again. Thank you to all the crew

Superb day out on a lovely spacious catamaran. Company policy is to restrict numbers to 44 which meant plenty of space in the sun and the shade. Beautiful views, and two unrushed swimming and exploring stops in Gozo and St Paul's Island. Excellent crew, all friendly, helpful and knowledgeable. Food and drinks included, we had a Maltese platter between us and a nice chicken/pulled pork/salad lunch, and fresh fruit too.
I cannot recommend this highly enough. Even though the price is higher, when you see the sardines crammed into the cheap boats you realise why you paid it....
Thanks to all involved for the highlight of our holiday ❤️

We had a lot of fun on this trip! The food was amazing (and a lot) + they even offered a vegetarian option. The crew was super friendly and there was a dog!!! Amazing.
Because they don’t allow more than 40 people on the catamaran we had a lot of space to hang out. You stop two times for a swim in the crystal clear water and see a lot of beautiful scenery. We had a great time and would definitely do this again. This trip is really worth your money.
