Malta is a small archipelago with an outsized history — a crossroads of Phoenicians, Romans, and the Knights of St. John, whose fortified capital Valletta rises straight from the Mediterranean like a golden fortress. The islands are compact enough to sail between in a single afternoon, yet each one feels distinct: honey-colored cliffs, hidden coves, and the impossibly turquoise waters of Comino's Blue Lagoon. Summers here are long, dry, and sun-soaked, with a sea calm enough for swimming almost any day. English is spoken everywhere, making Malta one of the easiest places in the Mediterranean to sail.
Our sailing tours in Malta take advantage of the archipelago’s compact size to pack a lot into a short amount of time. Routes move easily between Malta’s honey-colored cliffs, Gozo’s quieter countryside, and the impossibly turquoise Blue Lagoon of Comino, without long open-sea passages. Each stop brings something different: a fortified old town, a hidden swimming cove, or a seaside restaurant serving fresh Maltese seafood. With us, you’ll experience Malta’s rare mix of history, scenery, and easy island-hopping — a destination that rewards even a short trip with a surprising amount of variety.
Chartering a yacht in Malta is refreshingly simple, thanks to short distances between islands and well-equipped marinas around Valletta and Gozo. Choose independent bareboat sailing with a valid license, a fully skippered charter for a relaxed island-hopping trip, comfortable catamarans for families and groups, or fast motor yachts for covering more ground in a day. Because Malta is so compact, even a short charter can include Valletta, Gozo, and Comino’s Blue Lagoon without rushing. Whatever your experience level, we’ll help you find the right boat for your Maltese adventure.
Malta’s calm, sheltered waters and reliable summer weather make it one of the easiest places in the Mediterranean to learn sailing. Our skipper courses follow ISSA standards, leading to an internationally recognized license valid for life. Short distances between islands mean students can practice real navigation and anchoring in a single day, without long passages. Training combines online theory with hands-on practice at sea, individually or in small groups, on sailing yachts, catamarans, or motor yachts — with the historic skyline of Valletta as a backdrop for much of the course.

Malta may be small, but its three main islands each have a distinct character. Valletta and the Grand Harbour bring fortified old towns and dramatic history right down to the water’s edge. Gozo is quieter and greener, with a slower pace and rugged countryside. Comino, the smallest of the three, is home to the famous Blue Lagoon — a swimming spot so clear it looks almost tropical. Every island offers something different, and we’ll help you plan a route that fits the mix you’re looking for.
Malta is small but layered — we know exactly how to fit its history, coves, and islands into one great trip.
We truly know Malta's waters. We sail here regularly, understanding the local winds, currents, and the quiet coves around Gozo and Comino that most visitors never find.
Our skippers know the best time to reach the Blue Lagoon before the crowds, the quietest cove for a swim, and the family-run spot for genuine Maltese food. Every trip feels personal, not like a rushed checklist.
Malta's islands are close together but each has its own character, so we plan routes with short comfortable distances, the right mix of historic towns and quiet swimming spots, and flexible options if the weather changes.
Yes, sailing without a skipper in Malta requires a valid skipper’s license officially recognized in the country, such as a national license or an ISSA certificate. If you don’t have one yet, you can complete our ISSA training in advance.
The main sailing season runs from April to October, thanks to Malta’s mild Mediterranean climate. June and September offer warm water and comfortable temperatures with fewer crowds, while July and August are the hottest and busiest months. Even in shoulder months, the weather is reliable enough for sailing.
It depends on the specific tour. Typically included are the yacht itself, a charter pack (bed linen, towels, basic cleaning supplies), and standard equipment. Fuel, marina fees, food, and a skipper (if not already included) are usually paid separately — always check the details of your chosen tour.
Unlike many larger destinations, Malta’s compact size means a single well-planned trip can realistically cover Valletta, Gozo, and Comino’s Blue Lagoon. It’s one of the few places in the Mediterranean where you truly can see most of the highlights without rushing.
