The Mediterranean Sea is one of the most beautiful seas in world. The crystal clear blue sea of the Mediterranean is a colossal asset to the countries that surround it.
Being a closed sea, the Mediterranean does not have the length of fetch of the oceans, and therefore does not generate monstrous seas in a storm. There are no hurricanes or tidal problems in the Mediterranean to worry sea lovers and most of the islands in the Mediterranean provide perfect shelter from any rough sea. And unlike tropical waters, there are hardly any sharks and no poisonous fish to haunt swimmers.
Yachting enthusiasts as well as sea and water sports lovers simply love to do their thing in the Mediterranean.
And nowhere is that more apparent than in Malta, where water based activities offered to adults and children, beginners and professionals, include sailing, windsurfing, water skiing, water parachuting, kayaking, dinghy sailing, pedal boating, canoeing and even banana boat rides.
But the world's premium marine motorsport is Powerboat Racing. The Powerboat P1 sees teams from around the globe racing at speeds exceeding 200km per hour in awesomely powerful twin-engine mono-hull powerboats.
P1's worldwide TV broadcasts reach more than 31 million viewers in 180 countries with coverage on more than 100 different channels including Eurosport, Sky Sports and RAI.
Our very own Aaron Ciantar won the P1 World Championship for two consecutive years, in 2008 and 2009.
This is clear proof that the sea around Malta is one of the most favourable for Power Boating lovers to get a grip of their favourite marine sport and learn how to drive these water-vying machines.
The all-year-round mild climate in Malta gives sea enthusiasts the advantage of taking to sea at any time during the year.
If you are really serious about learning Power Boating and are looking for the ideal place to learn or improve your powerboat racing skills, than Malta must be the place of your choice.
