Malta: Lazy Pirate Boat Party with Drinks & Food

2.Lazy Pirate Boat Party with Drinks & Food

★★★★★★★★★★3.8 · 788 reviews · 4 hours · from $81

Review of Malta’s Lazy Pirate boat party, with an open bar, DJ, snacks, sunset sailing, and a moonlight swim from Sliema.

“We were a group of 5 girls, we really enjoyed the experience overall. Drinks were good and there was good music. The swim stop wasn’t great if you specifically want to swim but it’s fine for what it it. The only negative was the security got very aggressive with one of my friends when she was trying to find the rest of the group, swearing and pushing her.”

“I almost always book a food tour when I travel, and this one did not disappoint. It’s a great way to kick off your Malta experience—exploring Valletta while learning about the island’s history and sampling quintessential treats like pastizzi, Kinnie, and honey rings. The pace was just right, with time at each stop to enjoy the food and chat with other guests if you’d like. Our guide, Ernest, was animated, informative, and made the experience lively and engaging. Considering the planning and coordination behind a tour like this, I found it well worth it.”

“Karl provided us with a thoroughly delightful private Food Tour in Valletta Malta! His knowledge of local history is second to none, and he absolutely knew what places to visit to sample all the local specialties.
