Having worked in the marine industry, I have seen many operators over the years. Xlendi are an amazing, family run business.
We booked the 4hr trip from Gozo and had an amazing time. In the lead up to the cruise, James was on hand via email to help us make our choice and then our booking. Our Captain, George, was incredibly professional, hospitable and very knowledgeable, he clearly loved his trade and was an excellent captain.
We enjoyed our cruise in November, so had a total of 20 people on the cruise, which felt about right, they are able to have a maximum of 40 in the height of the season which I think would be rather cramped on board.
Our top tip, when arriving into the Blue Lagoon, opt to stay on board the board to avoid the mass tourists who go on land, it was incredibly relaxing to remain on board, where we almost had the vessel to ourselves! We also opted for the onboard lunch, which was amazing! So much colour and some of the freshest food we have enjoyed! The bar was also very reasonable.
Anyone who wants to get afloat in Malta/Gozo, we couldn’t recommend this company enough, thanks to George & James!
