Safe Sea Marine Centre

Safe Sea Marine Centre is a one-stop marine shop for boat owners in Malta and beyond. The business began in 1997, opened its online shop in 2012, and still runs a physical shop on Triq Valletta in Mosta, so you can either browse the shelves or order from abroad. It supplies boating enthusiasts and professionals with accessories, engine parts, outboard motors and tenders.

Mosta lies in the middle of the island, and the shop is a practical stop for anyone preparing a boat for the water. It is listed in our directories of boat repair in Malta and marina services in Malta.

Chandlery and accessories

Chandlery means the everyday fittings and supplies a boat needs, and the shop's range is wide. Categories include marine audio, adhesives and sealants, anchors and docking gear, batteries and chargers, bimini tops, boat covers, bow thrusters, cleats, compasses, davit systems, dry bags, electrical items, fenders, fishing gear, fuel tanks, gangways and ladders, gauges, lighting, locks, paints, pumps, safety equipment, steering parts, switches, thru-hull fittings and toilets.

For a UK visitor on a charter or a short stay, this means that a missing part or a bit of kit can often be found under one roof rather than across several suppliers, and the shop's online catalogue lets you check what is available before you travel. Brands stocked cover well known names such as Mercury, Mercruiser, Honda Marine, Yamaha, Tohatsu and Volvo Penta.

Engine parts and outboards

The marine engine parts department stocks parts and accessories for makes including Mercruiser, Mercury, Volvo, Yanmar, Honda, Suzuki, Caterpillar, Kohler, Onan, Westerbeke and Detroit, along with anodes, carburettors and injectors, engine mounts and cutless bearings. Both original equipment and aftermarket parts are available, and parts catalogues for Selva, Suzuki, Honda, Tohatsu, Yamaha, Mercury and Parsun outboards can be viewed or downloaded.

New outboards from Honda and Parsun are on sale, from small portable engines up to large Honda models, and the team is available for advice, ongoing servicing and maintenance. Electric outboards from brands such as Parsun, Haswing and Protruar are listed with prices shown exclusive of VAT, for example the Haswing 55LBS motor from €47.42 to €441.84 exc. VAT depending on the option chosen.

Goldenship inflatable tenders, including lightweight ribs and aluminium models, complete the range.

Ordering, shipping and finding a part

The online shop ships worldwide, which suits owners who keep a boat in Malta but live in the UK. If you cannot identify a part, send the engine make, model and serial number together with a part number or a photo, and the team will help. Marine engines face high revs, extreme heat, moisture and long periods of inactivity, so the shop focuses on reliable, quality products with an emphasis on safety and good service.

If you are in Malta for a boating holiday, our guides to things to do in Malta, the Mdina guide for nearby sights, the Blue Lagoon guide and the Gozo guide give ideas for time on the water, and the Malta weather guide helps with planning. Flights to Malta are covered separately.

Visiting the shop in Mosta

The shop on Triq Valletta suits owners who prefer to see a part before buying, or who want to talk through an engine or outboard choice face to face. Opening hours are weekdays only, so plan a visit between Monday and Friday. Staying nearby is simple, and our where to stay in Malta guide compares the main areas, while the about Malta guide helps first-time visitors get their bearings.
