With clear water, long summers and the Blue Lagoon a short sail away, Malta is one of the best places in the Mediterranean for a private yacht charter. Whether you’re celebrating, hosting clients or simply want a day on the water away from the crowds, chartering your own yacht is the most relaxed way to see the islands.
This guide covers our yacht charters in Malta: which boat to choose, where to go, what’s included and what it really costs, with honest prices for the whole boat.
Private Yacht Charter in Malta: Our Fleet
Every charter is private: you rent the whole yacht for your group, with a professional skipper, and nobody else on board.
| Yacht | Type | Guests | Full day | Sunset / evening |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Shirina Mia | Sailing yacht (Elan Impression 45) | Up to 10 | €700 | €400 |
| Chiquita & Cicciolina Mia | Sailing catamarans | Up to 15 | €900 | €600 |
| Pupa Mia & Bowie | Sailing catamarans | Up to 24–25 | €1,200 | €850 (Pupa Mia only) |
| Angelina Mia & Siesta Mia | Luxury catamarans | Up to 27–30 | €1,300 | €850–€950 |
| Playtime | Large catamaran | Up to 55 | €1,900 | €1,200 |
Prices are for the whole yacht, never per person. Bigger groups can book two or three yachts together.
Sailing Yacht or Luxury Catamaran?
Sailing yacht: Shirina Mia
Shirina Mia is an Elan Impression 45 sailing yacht for up to 10 guests. With the sails up and the engine off, it’s quiet and genuinely romantic — ideal for couples, proposals, anniversaries and small groups who want the feeling of real sailing.
Luxury catamarans
Our seven catamarans give you more space, more shade and a steadier ride, which suits families, groups of friends and celebrations. They range from 15 guests on Chiquita and Cicciolina Mia up to 55 on Playtime. Bowie adds air conditioning, a generator and a water maker for hot summer days, and Angelina Mia is our newest and most modern yacht.

Looking for a motor yacht?
Our fleet is sailing yachts and sailing catamarans, so we don’t offer motor yacht charters. Many guests who come to us looking for a “yacht” end up choosing a luxury catamaran: it gives you the space and comfort of a yacht, with a much calmer ride and far more room to relax and swim.
Where to Go on Your Yacht Charter
Blue Lagoon & Comino
Swim and snorkel in the Blue Lagoon and the quieter Crystal Lagoon, then anchor for lunch in a calm bay chosen around the day’s wind.
Sunset yacht charter
A shorter evening cruise along the coast, timed for the sunset. Perfect for proposals and anniversaries — Shirina Mia’s sunset sail is especially popular.
Gozo day trip
A full day along Gozo’s cliffs and quiet bays.
Corporate days & celebrations
Team days, client entertaining, weddings and birthdays on a private yacht. See our corporate and special occasions pages.
