About this experience
Step aboard Grecale, our renovated former military vessel, for a private full-day charter along Malta’s spectacular southern coast. Departing from the traditional fishing village of Marsaxlokk, your captain will guide you to three to four swimming and snorkeling stops, chosen on the day for the calmest and most beautiful conditions.
Dive into turquoise waters, snorkel through rocky inlets, or relax on deck as we pass landmarks such as the Blue Grotto, Il-Ħofriet Bay, and Lapsi. On board, enjoy a spacious sun deck for lounging and a shaded lower deck with dining space for food and drinks — bring your own or request catering.
With your crew taking care of everything, this is the most seamless way to explore Malta’s south, perfect for groups, celebrations, or a private escape.
