Island Yacht Charters Malta is a family run charter business that has been operating since 2016 from Pontoon C at Roland Marina in Ta' Xbiex. It arranges sailing yachts, power boats and RHIBs for a day on the water, an overnight trip or a longer stay afloat, and every outing is skippered by a local who knows the islands. The business is listed among our boat charter operators in Malta.
Chartering a private yacht with a local skipper
The fleet is made up of privately owned yachts, kept in good condition by their owners. The skipper is also the owner, so he knows his boat thoroughly, as well as the weather, the bays and the beaches around Malta and Gozo. The business offers yachts, power boats and RHIBs, and the boat categories on the site are catamarans, monohulls and RHIBs.
A day charter is designed to be as lazy or as lively as you like, with swimming in clear water, stops in quiet bays and coves, and time to simply enjoy the sun. Daily and overnight charters are both available, and fishing and watersports can be built into a trip. From Ta' Xbiex you are close to Valletta, and many guests head north to Comino and Gozo, so our Valletta city guide and the Blue Lagoon are useful when planning your route.
Charters for couples, teams and anyone learning to sail
Honeymooners can book a special charter for two days and one night. The route includes Calypso's Cave on Gozo, the legendary place where Calypso is said to have kept Odysseus for seven years, and a swim in the clear water of Ramla Bay. The yachts can also be used for pre-wedding photographs.
Teams and companies can hire a boat for a staff party or a team-building day, with music and refreshments on board, or with the group learning to sail together under experienced instructors. Contacts for a photo session and a drone are available if you want a record of the day, which suits a staff celebration, a family reunion or a milestone birthday on the water.
Anyone who wants to learn will find a hands-on option. Tailored charters teach the fundamentals, from understanding the wind to steering and anchoring. The business can also set visitors up with sailing schools in Malta, from Optimist dinghies for children to yacht sailing for adults, and it can arrange RYA certification for short courses such as Competent Crew or Power Boat Handling.
Land and sea holidays and transfers
If you would like a break from hotel life, the business will plan a combined holiday. Tell it when you arrive and how long you want to spend on land and at sea, and it will book a hotel for the land part and quote favourable rates in popular hotels in Malta and Gozo. Our guides to hotels in Malta and where to stay in Malta show the main areas. Short-let apartments are available too, so a stay can be built around the marina or around the places you most want to see ashore.
Transfers between your hotel or the airport and the marina can also be arranged, and our guide to flights to Malta from the UK helps you plan the journey. The best months for being on the water are covered in our weather guide for Malta.
