Private Yacht Charters from Grand Harbour Marina across Malta, Comino, and Gozo
Malta Yacht Charters: Mediterranean Luxury across Malta, Comino, and Gozo
A Malta yacht charter is a fully crewed private boat rental departing from Grand Harbour Marina in Birgu that gives your group exclusive access to the Maltese archipelago in the central Mediterranean, including the turquoise Comino Blue Lagoon, the island of Gozo, the UNESCO World Heritage capital Valletta, the Blue Grotto sea caves, and the crystal-clear water of the Maltese coast, aboard a luxury vessel with an experienced captain and crew.
Malta is a small Mediterranean nation of three inhabited islands, Malta, Gozo, and Comino, lying roughly 80 km south of Sicily and 290 km north of the North African coast, with around 7,000 years of layered history written into its honey-colored limestone. The Comino Blue Lagoon, a shallow channel of brilliant turquoise water between Comino and the islet of Cominotto, is among the most beautiful swimming spots in the Mediterranean, and Grand Harbour at Valletta is one of the finest natural deep-water harbours in the world. Day Yacht Charters builds every charter around your group, with local Maltese captains who know every cove, sea cave, and anchorage across the three islands.
Below you will find our featured Malta fleet, followed by a complete guide to cruising the archipelago: the marina and Valletta gateway, the Comino Blue Lagoon, the island of Gozo, the Blue Grotto and sea caves, sample itineraries, the onboard experience, and full logistics for getting to Malta International Airport and Grand Harbour.

Experience the Luxury of Malta Yacht Charters - Private Charters Available across Malta, Comino, and Gozo
Malta yacht charters offer access to the Maltese archipelago in the central Mediterranean, departing primarily from Grand Harbour Marina in Birgu, set beneath the fortified walls of the Three Cities directly across the water from the capital Valletta. Malta is a small island nation of three inhabited islands, Malta, Gozo, and Comino, lying roughly 80 km south of Sicily and around 290 km north of the North African coast, at the historic crossroads of the Mediterranean. The country covers only about 316 square kilometers yet packs in around 7,000 years of layered history, from Neolithic temples older than the Egyptian pyramids to the fortified Baroque capital built by the Knights of St John. Grand Harbour at Valletta is one of the finest natural deep-water harbours in the world, ringed by honey-colored bastions, and it has served as a haven for ships for thousands of years. English is an official language alongside Maltese, the Euro is the currency, Malta is a member of the European Union and the Schengen Area, and the prime charter season runs May through October with warm, settled Mediterranean conditions. Day Yacht Charters operates a fully crewed fleet from Grand Harbour Marina with local Maltese captains who know every cove, cave, and anchorage across the three islands: the luminous turquoise of the Comino Blue Lagoon, the Crystal Lagoon and Santa Marija Caves on Comino, the dramatic Dwejra coast and the red sand of Ramla Bay on Gozo, the blue-lit sea caves of the Blue Grotto on the southern Malta coast, and the quiet swimming coves along the limestone shore. Charter guests arrive through Malta International Airport (MLA) at Luqa, a short drive from Grand Harbour and the main hotel districts of Valletta, Sliema, and St Julian's. Malta sits at roughly 35 degrees north latitude in the heart of the Mediterranean, with warm, exceptionally clear water from 60 degrees Fahrenheit in early spring to 80 degrees Fahrenheit in late summer, visibility that regularly exceeds 30 meters, and the reliable sunshine that makes the islands one of the great charter grounds of southern Europe.
Grand Harbour Marina in Birgu, one of the historic Three Cities, is the primary departure point for Malta yacht charters and one of the most spectacular marina settings in the Mediterranean. The marina sits within Grand Harbour itself, beneath the fortified walls of Birgu and across the water from the bastions of Valletta, with deep-water berths, a full marine services precinct, and waterfront restaurants set in centuries-old buildings. From the marina, charters cruise out past the breakwater and the towering fortifications of Valletta and the Three Cities, one of the most dramatic harbour departures anywhere, and can reach the southern Blue Grotto coast within 45 to 60 minutes or the Comino Blue Lagoon to the north within roughly 90 minutes to 2 hours. Most Malta yacht charters depart Grand Harbour Marina between 8 am and 9 am after guest arrival, returning by 5 pm for full-day charters or later for sunset cruises. The classic full-day route runs north along the Malta coast to the Comino Blue Lagoon for swimming and anchoring in the turquoise channel, with a stop at the Comino caves and a cruise along the Gozo coast, and lunch served on deck at anchor. Charters wanting a shorter day head south to the Blue Grotto sea caves and the quiet swimming coves of the southern coast, while those seeking a relaxed evening choose a sunset cruise out of Grand Harbour beneath the floodlit bastions. Most Malta charter guests arrive through Malta International Airport (MLA) at Luqa, the country's only airport, which receives direct flights from London (around 3.5 hours), Rome (around 1.5 hours), Frankfurt (around 2.5 hours), Paris (around 2.5 hours), Amsterdam, Madrid, Dubai, and many other European and Middle Eastern hubs. International guests from North America typically connect through London, Frankfurt, Rome, or Dubai, with total transit from the United States east coast of approximately 12 to 15 hours. From the airport, Grand Harbour Marina and the main hotel districts of Valletta, Sliema, and St Julian's are all within a 20 to 30 minute drive. The combination of a spectacular historic marina, excellent European air access through a single convenient airport, and direct cruising to both the northern Blue Lagoon and the southern sea caves makes Grand Harbour the natural choice for Malta yacht charters.
The Comino Blue Lagoon is the single most iconic stop on a Malta yacht charter and one of the most beautiful swimming spots in the entire Mediterranean. The lagoon is a shallow channel of water between the small island of Comino and the uninhabited islet of Cominotto, where a white sand and limestone seabed turns the Mediterranean an unforgettable shade of luminous turquoise and aquamarine. Comino itself is the smallest of the three inhabited Maltese islands, almost entirely a nature reserve and bird sanctuary with only a handful of permanent residents, which keeps the surrounding water exceptionally clear. A private charter is the ideal way to enjoy the Blue Lagoon, anchoring in the turquoise channel early in the morning or late in the afternoon, before and after the day boats, with the swim platform and kayaks ready in water so clear that the yacht appears to float on glass. On Comino's northern and eastern sides, the Crystal Lagoon offers a quieter alternative to the Blue Lagoon, a deeper inlet ringed by limestone cliffs and sea caves with water just as clear but far fewer visitors. The Santa Marija Caves nearby are a series of sea caves and swim-throughs that are among the best snorkeling spots in Malta, with shafts of sunlight illuminating the clear water and schools of fish moving through the arches. A charter can combine the Blue Lagoon, the Crystal Lagoon, and the Santa Marija Caves in a single relaxed day around Comino, anchoring in each for swimming, snorkeling, and kayaking. The water around Comino is the heart of the Malta charter experience. In the cruising season it reaches 70 to 80 degrees Fahrenheit, and the combination of the turquoise lagoon, the limestone cliffs, the sea caves, and the surrounding bird sanctuary creates a setting unlike anywhere else in the Mediterranean. Anchoring in the Blue Lagoon for a swim and a deck lunch, then drifting to the Crystal Lagoon for a quiet afternoon snorkel among the caves, is the classic luxury Malta charter day, and seeing the lagoon from your own anchored yacht, rather than from a crowded day boat, is the difference a private charter makes.
The island of Gozo, the second largest in the Maltese archipelago, lies just north of Comino and offers a quieter, greener, more rural counterpoint to the busier main island of Malta. Gozo is reached by a short cruise across the channel and rewards a charter with dramatic coastline, sea caves, and some of the clearest water in the islands. The headline stop is Dwejra on Gozo's western coast, a spectacular area of limestone cliffs and sea formations that includes the Inland Sea, a lagoon connected to the open Mediterranean by a natural tunnel through the cliff, and Fungus Rock, a large limestone stack rising from the sea. The famous Azure Window arch at Dwejra stood here for centuries before it fell into the sea in 2017, but the underwater site remains one of the finest dive and snorkel locations in the Mediterranean, and the dramatic cliffs and the Inland Sea make Dwejra a must-see charter stop. Around the Gozo coast, charters can anchor off Ramla Bay, the island's largest beach, famous for its distinctive red-gold sand, visit the sheltered swimming coves at Wied il-Ghasri (a narrow limestone gorge that opens to a tiny pebble beach), and cruise beneath the cliffs of the southern coast. Ashore, Gozo offers the medieval Citadel of Victoria, the prehistoric Ggantija temples (among the oldest free-standing structures on Earth, older than Stonehenge and the pyramids), and a network of quiet villages, though most charters focus on the spectacular coastline and clear water. A charter through the northern Maltese islands typically combines the Comino Blue Lagoon, the Crystal Lagoon and Santa Marija Caves on Comino, and the Dwejra coast, Ramla Bay, and the swimming coves of Gozo, often as a full-day or multi-day itinerary. The relatively short distances between Malta, Comino, and Gozo mean a charter can sample all three islands in a single day, or linger in the northern islands for a multi-day cruise that anchors each night in a different quiet cove beneath the limestone cliffs.
Malta's southern and eastern coasts are honeycombed with sea caves, arches, and clear-water swimming spots that make every charter an exploration of the limestone shore. The most famous is the Blue Grotto on the southern coast of Malta, near the fishing village of Wied iz-Zurrieq, a complex of sea caves where sunlight reflecting off the white sand seabed lights the water in vivid shades of electric blue, deep azure, and turquoise. A charter can cruise beneath the great natural arch and into the mouths of the caves, where the water glows from below, then anchor nearby for a swim in the exceptionally clear water. The southern coast also offers the dramatic cliffs of Dingli, the highest point on the Malta coast, and a series of quiet coves rarely reached by land. On the eastern and southeastern coast, St Peter's Pool near Marsaxlokk is a natural limestone swimming hole with deep, clear turquoise water and smooth rock ledges, one of the most beautiful swimming spots on the main island. The traditional fishing village of Marsaxlokk, with its harbour full of brightly painted luzzu boats and their distinctive painted eyes, is a charming stop for a seafood lunch ashore. The eastern coast also offers sheltered bays such as St Thomas Bay and the clear water off Delimara Point. Throughout the Maltese islands, the clear, warm Mediterranean water makes swimming and snorkeling exceptional. Visibility regularly exceeds 30 meters on settled days, and the limestone caves, arches, and submerged grottoes shelter Mediterranean species including bream, sea bass, octopus, and the occasional grouper. The captain selects the most sheltered and scenic spots for the day's conditions, whether that means the blue-lit caves of the Blue Grotto, the swim-throughs of the Comino caves, the natural pool at St Peter's Pool, or a quiet anchorage off Gozo, giving every charter a different combination of caves, coves, and crystal water.
A half-day Malta yacht charter from Grand Harbour Marina typically runs 4 hours and covers either the southern Blue Grotto coast or the closer swimming coves. Departing the marina around 9 am, the route cruises out past the bastions of Valletta and the Three Cities, runs south to the Blue Grotto sea caves and St Peter's Pool, anchors for a swim and a snorkel in the clear water, and returns to Grand Harbour by early afternoon. The half-day is ideal for guests with limited time or for a relaxed morning on the water beneath the limestone cliffs. A full-day 8 hour Malta charter is the classic island experience. Departing Grand Harbour around 8 am, the route cruises north along the Malta coast to the Comino Blue Lagoon for swimming and anchoring in the turquoise channel, continues to the Crystal Lagoon and the Santa Marija Caves for snorkeling, cruises along the dramatic Gozo coast at Dwejra, anchors for a seafood lunch served on deck, and returns past the limestone cliffs to Grand Harbour by 5 pm. The full-day itinerary can be customized entirely around your group's interests, whether that means more time in the Blue Lagoon, a closer look at Gozo, or a focus on the southern sea caves. A multi-day Malta and Mediterranean expedition is the headline charter option. A 2 day, 1 night cruise typically covers the Comino Blue Lagoon and the Gozo coast on the first day, an overnight anchor in a sheltered cove off Comino or Gozo, and a second day exploring the southern Blue Grotto coast and the swimming spots of the main island. A 3 day cruise allows a relaxed circuit of all three islands, while longer 5 to 7 day charters can extend toward Sicily and the wider central Mediterranean, anchoring each night in a different quiet cove. Sunset cruises are a popular evening option. A 2 to 3 hour sunset charter departs Grand Harbour Marina in the late afternoon and runs out beneath the floodlit bastions of Valletta and the Three Cities for the Mediterranean sunset, with the honey-colored limestone glowing gold and then deep amber as the light fades over Grand Harbour. We offer flexible packages, some include open bar, some allow BYOB, and some add premium catering with fresh Mediterranean seafood, Maltese specialties, and crisp local white wine served on deck as the sun goes down over one of the most beautiful harbours in the world.
The Malta charter fleet includes sport motor yachts in the 32 to 50 foot range ideal for half-day and full-day cruises around Grand Harbour and the southern coast, larger motor yachts in the 55 to 100 foot range with cabin accommodation suitable for multi-day cruises across Malta, Comino, and Gozo and into the wider central Mediterranean, sailing catamarans from 43 to 65 feet for stable family cruising to the Blue Lagoon, and full crewed superyachts and sailing yachts operating across the region for week-long Mediterranean expeditions. Grand Harbour Marina serves as the daily departure and return point for most day charters, while overnight berthing on multi-day cruises takes place at anchor in the sheltered coves off Comino and Gozo or in the marinas of the Maltese islands. Onboard amenities typically include forward sun pads and aft cockpit dining, fresh water swim showers, full galleys for onboard catering, premium audio systems with Bluetooth, swim platforms for direct access to the clear Mediterranean water, snorkel gear for the sea caves and lagoons, sea kayaks and paddle boards, and complete provisioning to guest preferences. The captain and crew are local Maltese professionals with detailed knowledge of every cove, cave, and lagoon across the three islands, the daily conditions that govern the best anchorages, the timing to reach the Blue Lagoon before the crowds, and the clearest swimming and snorkeling spots. The crew handles all navigation, anchoring, tender service, and onboard hospitality. Customization options include onboard private chef service with menus built around fresh Mediterranean and Maltese cuisine: lampuki (the prized Maltese dolphinfish), sea bass, sea bream, octopus, and prawns from the surrounding sea, the famous Maltese fenkata (slow-cooked rabbit), ftira (the traditional Maltese bread), pastizzi (the flaky savory pastries), Gozo cheeselets (gbejniet), sun-ripened tomatoes and capers, and crisp Maltese and Mediterranean white wines. Cold local Cisk beer and a strong espresso round out the day. Group sizes range from 2 to 25 guests depending on the vessel selected, with the typical sweet spot at 6 to 12 guests. Contact us for current pricing and availability. We offer flexible packages, some include open bar, some allow BYOB, some add premium catering with private chef service onboard. Each charter is built around your group's interests, the seasonal Mediterranean conditions on your charter day, and the specific islands, lagoons, and caves you most want to include. Our team handles every detail so your group can focus entirely on enjoying Malta from the privacy and comfort of your own yacht.

From the deck of a private yacht cruising the Maltese islands, your group experiences this archipelago from the perspective that has defined Mediterranean seafaring for thousands of years. Malta comprises three inhabited islands, Malta, Gozo, and Comino, ringed by honey-colored limestone cliffs, sea caves, and hidden coves of brilliantly clear water. The crown jewel is the Comino Blue Lagoon, a shallow channel of luminous turquoise water between the small island of Comino and the uninhabited islet of Cominotto, where the white sand seabed turns the Mediterranean an unforgettable shade of aquamarine. A private charter can anchor in the lagoon early, before the day boats arrive, and the captain reads the daily conditions to choose between the Blue Lagoon, the Crystal Lagoon on Comino's northern side, the sea caves of the Gozo and Malta coast, or a quiet swimming cove. The combination of clear water, limestone scenery, and 7,000 years of history makes the Maltese islands one of the most distinctive cruising grounds in the Mediterranean.
Malta's clear, warm Mediterranean water makes it one of the finest swimming and snorkeling destinations in Europe, with visibility that regularly exceeds 30 meters on settled days. The water ranges from 60 degrees Fahrenheit in early spring to a warm 80 degrees Fahrenheit in late summer, and the limestone coast is honeycombed with sea caves, arches, and submerged grottoes that make every snorkel stop an adventure. The Blue Grotto on the southern coast of Malta, near Wied iz-Zurrieq, is a complex of sea caves where sunlight reflecting off the white sand seabed lights the water in vivid shades of blue and turquoise. The Comino caves, the Santa Marija Caves, and the inland sea at Dwejra on Gozo offer dramatic swim-throughs and snorkeling among schools of bream, sea bass, octopus, and the occasional grouper. The Maltese islands sit in a marine environment rich with Mediterranean species, and the clear water, sheltered coves, and warm temperatures make snorkeling accessible and rewarding for guests of every level.
Malta is one of the most distinctive yacht charter destinations in the Mediterranean.

Planning Your Malta Yacht Charter
Planning a Malta yacht charter typically begins 4 to 12 weeks before the charter date for most dates and 3 to 6 months ahead for peak summer weeks and for milestone celebrations including honeymoons. Our team works with each client to understand the group composition, the preferred dates, the home base for lodging in Valletta, Sliema, or St Julian's, and the priorities of the experience (the Comino Blue Lagoon, Gozo, the Blue Grotto, swimming, island hopping, celebration). We then propose vessel options and recommended itineraries, with a deposit securing the date and the vessel. The balance is due on the charter day. Crew gratuity, typically 15 to 20 percent of the charter fee, is customarily paid in cash at the end of the charter and is separate from the charter price.
Payment options include credit card, PayPal, Zelle, and bank wire. Charter durations in Malta typically run from 4 hour half-day cruises up to 3 to 7 day island and Mediterranean expeditions. Most Malta bookings are single-day full charters of 6 to 8 hours, with sunset cruises of 2 to 3 hours as the most popular evening option and 2 to 3 day island cruises as the headline multi-day experience.
