North Coast Malta is a boat charter company at the Simenta Kiosk on Triq San Franġisk in St Paul's Bay, in the north of Malta. It hires out motorboats of 18 to 33 feet for 4 to 8 hour charters, rents kayaks by the hour and runs fishing trips. Enquiries go through the VisitMalta.co.uk form on this page and we pass them to the business.
North Coast Malta is a boat charter and water sports business in the north of the island, working from a kiosk on the seafront at St Paul's Bay. It offers a choice of motorboat charters, kayak rentals and fishing trips, so you can plan anything from a quiet paddle along the shoreline to a celebration afloat with a group of friends.
The charters are customisable and flexible, which suits visitors who want to set their own pace along the coast. It is listed in our directory of boat charters in Malta, and its base in the north makes it a natural starting point for exploring the coast towards Mellieħa and the islands beyond.
The fleet and what it costs
The charter fleet runs from small boats to a 33 foot Contender. The Contender 33FT takes up to 20 people, the Boston Whaler 28FT up to 15, and the Highfield Sport 900 up to 12. The Coronet 24FT carries up to 11, the Seabird 24FT up to 10, and several smaller boats take six to eight guests, among them the Highfield Sport 700 and 650, the Boston Whaler 21FT and 18FT and the Scorpion 19FT and 18FT.
Charters last between four hours and eight hours depending on the boat, and prices are printed as starting prices. Larger boats start from €600 for the Contender 33FT and Boston Whaler 28FT, €550 for the Highfield Sport 900, €450 for the Coronet 24FT and €400 for the Seabird 24FT. Mid-sized boats start from €350 and the Scorpion 18FT and Boston Whaler 18FT start from €250. Confirm the final price, what is included and the length of your trip when you enquire.
Because all the boats are listed with a minimum length of four hours, a short charter is a good way to try a stretch of coast, while the eight-hour options on some of the smaller boats give a full day for a group of friends who want to explore at leisure.
Kayaks and fishing trips
For a quieter day, kayaks can be rented by the hour from €10, and a peaceful canoe escape along the coast is one of its main offers. Paddling lets you reach small coves and rocky shorelines at a gentler pace than a motorboat.
Fishing trips run for around seven hours, and the price varies from trip to trip. If you want to fish, say so when you enquire so that the team can tell you what a trip involves for your group size and date. A gift card is also sold, which makes a charter or kayak session an easy present for a boating fan.
Planning your day on the north coast
St Paul's Bay is on the north-east side of the island, close to Mellieħa and the departure points for Comino, so a charter pairs well with a stay in the area. Our Blue Lagoon guide, our guide to Mellieħa and our page on the best beaches in Malta are useful for deciding where you would like to go, and our Malta weather guide shows when the sea is warmest.
Because every boat has a stated capacity, the simplest way to choose is to count your party and pick the smallest boat that seats everyone comfortably. Special occasions are well catered for, with luxurious charters for celebrations on offer as well as relaxed days on the water.
An early departure leaves the afternoon free to swim, snorkel and relax before heading back. Pack sun protection, a towel and drinking water, and ask the team what is provided on board for your chosen boat so that you can plan food and drink for the day.
How to enquire
The business takes requests through its website, with a request-to-book option beside each boat. You can also use the VisitMalta.co.uk enquiry form on this page and we will pass your message to North Coast Malta. Include your dates, the number of people, the length of trip you want and whether you would like a boat, a kayak or a fishing trip. For more ideas, read our guide to things to do in Malta.
