About this activity
Malta Sailing Experiences specialises in small-group bespoke sailing holidays and yacht charter experiences around the Maltese islands and beyond.
Our Half day charters are great for people who want a quick taster of life on a yacht.
There are options to go to one of 4 bays whaich can be discussed with your skipper. St Pauls Islands or Fra Ben Bay or Hoffriet bays or Balluta Bay.
You can also combine this with a harbour tour but this is best done on the evening charter and not on the morning one.
What to expect
Island of Malta
Island of Malta, Malta
Start times 8.30am to 12.30pm for Half Day Charters Start Time 6.30pm to 10.30pm for Evening Charters. Half Day Itinerary Itinerary – In a 4 hour half day charter, there are a few options to experience. • Journey to a nearby bay and enjoy the 4 hours unwinding on a yacht. We usually go south to Hoffriet, or north to Fra Ben, St Pauls Islands or to maximise time, closer to Balluta bay. • Sail for 4 hours enjoying the adventure and getting a chance to take control of the wheel and explore the full sailing experience. • Enjoy a short sail for an hour or two and then combine this with a harbour tour of the Grand Harbour at night. Quite spectacular and magical. Your itinerary can be discussed on the day with your skipper. Please note that Comino is not an option on a 4 hour trip and only an option on a full day charter. Food and drink is also not provided as part of the charter but you are always welcome to get your own on board.
