We’re a family run smaller boat. The best thing about The Mermaid is you will leave your day out at sea with unique experience rather than beginning just a number. You will be personally greeted by the captain upon boarding. Since we’re a smaller boat we enter inside the caves at no extra charge. You’re able to view the caves & take pictures. We’re all about customer experience aboard the Mermaid and we will do our utmost to ensure you enjoy your day out at sea and make sure it’s the highlight of your holiday!

Inclusions: Restroom on board, WiFi on board

CallCabs Malta is an excellent service. More so, it's very reliable, and you can count on it when you need their service. This review section leaves me only a selection of one date, so I chose the latest one I used their service. However, my wife has health issues and need regular treatment every two weeks. Since she can't walk very well, we cannot take the bus but use CallCabs' service instead. That goes on for over a year now, and their service is like clockwork. Always friendly, helpful, and very reliable. I had my fair share with other services here before I found CallCabs. So I can compare, and CallCabs definitely sticks out in a positive way. I highly recommend them to anybody who needs a ride.

We truly enjoyed the cruise to Comino, Gozo, Blue Lagoon, Crystal Lagoon. The catamaran is brand new, lots of space and loungers, which was perfect during COVID times. Wonderful staff and crew, they served up a great bbq lunch on board. On Gozo, all transfers were taken care off and the cruise ended with a wonderful sunset over Malta. Highly recommended!

We had a great time with this company. The boat is big, nice and clean and they allow a limited number of passengers onboard so that there is plenty of free space. Really enjoyed the two stops in Gozo and also the stop in Blue lagoon. Very nice and quiet place in May. On the way back the captain took us to the caves which are really amazing. Will definitely go again!!!

Thanks to this My Island Tours Malta, our kids (10 and 6) enjoyed their first social outdoor event after the lock down. Even though we are resident in Malta, it was interesting to discover new places, while #SocialDistancing. The only people we needed to interact with were those in our car. Well organised, safe and great fun. A fun child-inclusive event for adults.

This is a really interesting mode of transport to use when visiting Gozo on a day trip from Malta. Great view over the countryside from the top deck. Good value for money. Tickets can be purchased at the port in Malta or on arrival in Gozo.
