Charter A Boat

That’s right, we’re suggesting that you get off the island. You’ll have plenty of time to see the sights and taste the food, but you won’t be able to take in all the beauty of the Maltese archipelago if you’re standing right on top of it!

Chartering a yacht is a great way to spend a day as a couple, a family or a group of friends while taking in the gorgeous views and soaking up the sunshine. You won’t have to worry about strangers taking your spot or rowdy voyagers drinking all your wine, because you’ll have the entire boat to yourselves.

A professional skipper will be provided, unless you happen to be a sailing expert yourself, so you can sit back, relax and take it all in as you sip on an ice-cold beer. The skipper will pick you up from an agreed spot on the island and take you on a tour of the various beauty spots along the coast of Malta, Gozo and Comino, including the world-famous Blue Lagoon. What’s more, when you climb back up the ladder after a refreshing dip in crystal waters, you’ll find a delicious lunch spread out for the entire group by the skipper himself!

There are various packages to choose from so you can tailor your trip to suit your preferences. A range of boats are available on the island, from motor yachts to catamarans and even the traditional Maltese luzzu. Prices for these will vary considerably, but just to give you a rough idea, a group of eight can charter a luxury motor yacht for around €800 per day. Which, when you divide it among yourselves, proves to be a reasonable price to pay for one of the most memorable experiences of your stay!
