Our only self-drive option — a RIB for up to 8 guests. €500/day self-drive (boat licence required) or €600/day with a skipper.
Our Turismo 710 RIB is the fastest way to see Malta from the sea. Hire it for up to 8 guests and drive it yourself with a boat licence for €500 a day, or relax and let our skipper take you for €600. It’s the only self-drive boat in our fleet, and it’s yours alone for the day.
Fuel is extra and paid for what you use: a typical day trip to Comino uses around €75. A €200 refundable security deposit applies.
In Malta you need a recognised boat licence to drive a motor boat yourself, and there are no licence-free self-drive boats in our fleet. If nobody in your group has a licence, book the RIB with a skipper. You still get the speed and freedom of a RIB, with someone local at the helm. For the full rules, see our guide: Do You Need a Licence to Rent a Boat in Malta?
What to bring: swimwear and towels, sunscreen and a hat, drinking water, snacks and drinks, mask and fins if you’d like to snorkel, and your boat licence for self-drive.
Board at Roland Marina, Pontoon D, Ta’ Xbiex, or at 101 Tigné Seafront, Sliema, at no extra cost. The RIB doesn’t offer pickups from other locations: we meet you at one of these two bases so we can check your licence before you set off.
