Camilleri Marine

Camilleri Marine is a chandlery, safety equipment specialist and boat service business based at MMH Malta in Marsa, on the Grand Harbour side of the island. A chandlery is a shop that supplies boats, from ropes, fenders and cleaning products to electrical parts and safety kit. The business has been trading since 1979 and serves professional and commercial vessels as well as leisure boat owners who keep a yacht in Maltese waters.

If you are bringing a boat to Malta, or buying one here, it is a practical first stop for equipment and servicing. Our directory also lists boat repair businesses in Malta and marina services in Malta so that you can compare options.

Over four decades in Malta

The company began as Ellcee Nautical Supplies, founded in 1979 by the late Lawrence Camilleri to serve Malta's maritime industry with reliable service and quality. It now trades as Camilleri Marine, and over the years it has grown from a retailer into an importer, a manufacturer and a distributor offering specialised services to keep vessels sailing.

Its marine electronics department is staffed by engineers and specialists trained and certified by 38 well-known brands in the marine industry. They can supply equipment, but also troubleshoot, diagnose faults and give professional advice on navigation and communication systems.

Safety equipment, liferafts and servicing

Camilleri Marine is a certified Viking service station, which means it can maintain and check liferafts, marine evacuation systems, lifejackets and other on-board life-saving equipment so that vessels stay compliant. The photographs show liferafts being prepared on a workshop floor and the lifeboat davits of a larger ship, which gives a sense of the commercial scale of this work.

The same team handles safety boat services and compliance checks. If you own a charter boat or a commercial vessel in Malta, regular servicing of this kind is part of keeping the vessel ready for inspection, and it is worth asking when your next service is due. Because the business works with commercial and professional operators, compliance deadlines are part of its everyday work.

Electronics, engineering and generators

On the engineering side, the business offers advanced diagnostics, repair and boat service for critical systems, including GMDSS radio equipment, radar, sonar, satellite and other radio communication. It also covers rigging, deck equipment and on-board auxiliary systems.

The brands it represents in Malta include Fischer Panda marine generators, which it also services, Schenker watermakers, Ocean Signal safety devices, Starlink, Minn Kota, Raymarine Commercial and Helly Hansen sailing clothing. Customers can browse an online shop covering chandlery, navigation and safety products, and submit a quote request for a product or a service booking. Prices are not published in this directory. The website also has careers and partnership pages for people who want to work or trade with the business.

Marsa, Grand Harbour and the sea beyond

The online shop is organised into chandlery, navigation and safety sections, and by brand. Listings include electrical items such as NMEA 2000 network connectors, battery switches and blade fuses, with brands such as Simrad, Quick, Bennett and Fendress among those shown. Items on the shop pages do not carry prices, so request a quote for anything you need to cost, and mention your vessel type so the team can match parts to your boat.

The shop is in Marsa, at the inner end of Grand Harbour, close to the Three Cities. Our Three Cities guide, Vittoriosa guide and Valletta guide describe the harbour towns, and boat owners planning trips can read about the Blue Lagoon on Comino and our Gozo guide. The Malta weather guide helps with planning around the seasons, and the about Malta overview offers context.
