Prefer a guided experience? Two more ways to do it
The Grand Harbour Tour (2 hours, €350) takes the same boat into Valletta's Grand Harbour — fortifications, the Three Cities and Fort St Angelo seen from water level.
The Sunset Cruise (45 minutes, €170, departs 19:15, champagne included) is the romantic version: golden-hour light along the south coast.
How booking works
You book your slot online with a deposit and pay the remaining balance at the meeting point on the day. Availability is live — if a time shows as bookable, it is genuinely free.
