Malta Yachting

Malta Yachting Ltd is a small, owner-focused brokerage on the Ta' Xbiex seafront, the stretch of Gżira and Msida's harbour front where much of the island's boating life happens. It brings together brokerage, charter, consultancy and everyday yacht services in one office, so a buyer, a seller or an owner who lives abroad can deal with a single contact. With more than twenty-eight years in the nautical trade, the team works alongside industry leaders and value-minded service providers. The business is listed in our directories of yacht brokers in Malta and boat charter in Malta.

Because the company is small, low overheads and quick, flexible service are its stated advantage, and most professional advice is free of charge with no obligation to buy a service. A general maintenance review is a good example: the team inspects every system and item of equipment on board, then recommends a routine suited to how you use the boat, whether that is weekend sailing or a full season of charters.

Buying, selling and registering a boat

The brokerage supports buyers and sellers, and it also handles trade-ins and exchanges. Beyond the sale itself, it assists with transfer, importation, transportation and delivery of a boat. The for-sale list holds around thirty-five boats, covering sail and motor yachts and catamarans from builders such as Dufour, Bavaria, Lagoon, Nautitech, Moody, J Boats, Grand Banks and Cranchi. Boats are marked as reduced or sold as they move, so it is worth asking which are currently available and in which marina each one is berthed, before planning a viewing trip.

Consultancy covers ownership too. The firm helps you formalise ownership or choose the most suitable registration set-up for your circumstances, with pages on the Malta flag and why Malta suits yacht owners. For the wider financial picture, see our Malta tax guide for UK nationals and the overview of the corporate tax structure in Malta.

Charter options

Visitors can charter a RIB, a sailing yacht or a motor yacht, with or without a skipper, and rates start from €300 a day. The options are adventure charters, skippered charters and bareboat charters, for a day, a weekend or a week. Charter suits people who want a relaxed holiday without the commitment of owning, and Malta's sheltered bays reward it: our Blue Lagoon guide and Gozo guide show popular places to anchor, and the Malta weather guide helps you choose your month.

Servicing, repairs and refits

The services side is where owners keep returning. With selected sub-contractors in Malta and overseas, the firm plans yard servicing so the boat is ready for the season, with estimates presented for approval step by step. It coordinates repairs covering mechanical, electrical, GRP and gelcoat, woodwork, sails and rigging, upholstery and canvas, and it arranges partial or full refits including project management and final commissioning.

Guardianage suits non-resident owners: it covers mooring checks, regular inspections weekly, fortnightly or monthly, cleaning and engine tests, with a service log reported on. Valeting is charged on time and materials, and a market valuation can be arranged for insurance or before marketing a boat, an appraisal based on more than twenty-five years in the trade.

Finding the office and getting in touch

The office is at 11 Ta' Xbiex Seafront, within walking distance of the harbour and a short drive from the capital, which our Valletta guide covers, with a registered address in San Gwann. Our about Malta page is a useful introduction to the islands.
