Half Day Itinerary Itinerary – In a 4 hour half day charter, there are a few options to experience.
• Journey to a nearby bay and enjoy the 4 hours unwinding on a yacht. We usually go south to Hoffriet, or north to Fra Ben, St Pauls Islands or to maximise time, closer to Balluta bay.
• Sail for 4 hours enjoying the adventure and getting a chance to take control of the wheel and explore the full sailing experience.
• Enjoy a short sail for an hour or two and then combine this with a harbour tour of the Grand Harbour at night. Quite spectacular and magical.
Your itinerary can be discussed on the day with your skipper.
Please note that Comino is not an option on a 4 hour trip and only an option on a full day charter. Food and drink is also not provided as part of the charter but you are always welcome to get your own on board.
