Yacht Charter Malta Highlights
Valletta & Grand Harbour
UNESCO World Heritage capital with magnificent historic harbour, baroque architecture, excellent marinas, and vibrant waterfront. Malta's cultural heart.
Blue Lagoon, Comino
Stunning turquoise lagoon with crystal-clear shallow waters, white sand, and dramatic cliffs. Malta's most iconic anchorage and swimming spot.
Gozo
Malta's rural sister island with charming villages, dramatic coastline, excellent diving, and laid-back atmosphere. Authentic Mediterranean character.
St. Paul's Bay & Mellieha
Large bay with excellent anchorages, sandy beaches, historic sites where St. Paul shipwrecked, and proximity to Comino and Gozo.
Blue Grotto & South Coast
Spectacular sea caves with brilliant blue waters, dramatic limestone cliffs, and excellent snorkelling. Malta's south coast natural wonder.
Marsaxlokk
Traditional fishing village with colourful luzzu boats, excellent Sunday fish market, authentic restaurants, and sheltered harbour.
A Malta yacht charter puts you on compact Mediterranean hops between Malta and Gozo, with historic harbours and clear-water coves. Most fleets base around Valletta/Msida, with Mgarr on Gozo the classic sister-island gateway. Compare start harbours in our Malta charter bases guide.
Summer is warm and popular. Distances are short, but swell and busy basins still reward early planning. Shoulder months often feel easier for first Malta and Gozo yacht charter weeks.
From bareboats to skippered catamarans and crewed yachts, we match you to the right platform for Malta circuits without overcomplicating a one-week route.

Yacht Charter Malta FAQs
Bareboat usually needs an ICC or equivalent plus VHF and recent experience matching the operator. Skippered and crewed weeks do not require you to skipper. We confirm paperwork before booking.
May to October is the main season. June and September often balance warm water with slightly easier berthing than peak July and August.
A mid-size monohull week often sits in the low-to-mid thousands of euros in shoulder season; peak weeks and catamarans cost more. Fuel, marina fees and optional skipper sit on top.
Yacht use for the week, standard inventory and contractual insurance. Fuel, overnight fees, food and optional crew are usually extras.
Most weeks start around Valletta/Msida, with Gozo Mgarr for sister-island itineraries. See the Malta charter bases page for harbour-by-harbour notes.
Bareboat suits crews comfortable with Mediterranean harbour approaches and short open-water hops to Gozo. Skippered is ideal for first Malta weeks or mixed-experience groups.
Distances are short, but swell can affect exposed approaches. Book popular basins early in peak summer and keep Gozo hops daylight-first.
Yes. A classic week mixes Malta harbours with a Gozo yacht charter hop and nearby coves without forcing long passages.
