Planning your charter

Choose the island setting and departure together

Malta, Gozo and Comino give the country its island setting, with sandy and rocky stretches of coast and different interests ashore. Comino lies between Malta and Gozo. Use that geography to describe the boating holiday you would like: time along the coast, an interest in island scenery, or a balance between the boat and exploring on land. Discuss any proposed visit with the company handling the selected yacht so that the intended waters belong in the enquiry from the beginning.

The departure guides here focus on Kalkara, Valletta, Gżira and Msida. Begin with those places when comparing the boats, then connect the departure with your travel and accommodation plans. A country map helps introduce the setting, while the offer’s base details and the operator’s instructions establish where you should meet. Keep a proposed island visit, the starting marina and the land journey as separate parts of the same booking discussion.

Understand Grand Harbour and Marsamxett

Valletta’s peninsula separates Grand Harbour from Marsamxett. Kalkara Marina is in Kalkara Creek within Grand Harbour, a port used by cruise, ferry, cargo and shipyard activity as well as other maritime users. The Kalkara guide puts that departure in its local setting and introduces the arrival questions for the named marina. Ask the operator about the selected boat’s meeting point and briefing, and take the intended cruising area into the same conversation.

Marsamxett extends towards Pietà and Msida, with Gżira and Sliema along its northern shore. The Valletta departure can refer to Marina di Valletta at Sa Maison in Pietà on the Marsamxett side, or Laguna Marina at Pinto Wharf in Floriana on the Grand Harbour side. Those locations require different arrival arrangements. Read the named base in the individual offer before choosing a waterfront address, transport route or place to meet the rest of your party.

Compare the local departure guides

Kalkara offers a named marina enquiry in Kalkara Creek. Valletta calls for an early check of which harbour and marina accompany the chosen boat. Use their separate guides when deciding between those departures: the local geography belongs beside your arrival plan, while the boat’s accommodation and services belong in the offer comparison. Send the preferred start together with your dates and group needs so Charter Easy can narrow the choices around the holiday you have in mind.

Gżira’s strand and Manoel Island introduce another part of Marsamxett; the island is connected to Gżira by a bridge. For a Gżira offer, obtain the operator’s actual meeting instructions rather than choosing a marina from nearby landmarks. Msida has its own marina enquiry. Distinguish an office visit from the yacht handover, and keep the confirmed location with the travel details you share with the group.

Match the boat to your group and service needs

Explore the boat categories, then compare the recorded features of the individual yachts. Cabins, berths, layout and equipment matter more to an accommodation decision than a category name alone. Use the same dates and preferred departure when comparing offers, and ask for any missing specification. Describe your guests, space requirements and intended waters in the enquiry so Charter Easy can bring the boat’s features and the destination choice into one shortlist.

Decide how skipper arrangements fit the proposal. An included skipper, a required service and an optional service each need their own scope and price check. Share the documents and experience relevant to the selected boat, and have the company handling it confirm the arrangement. Keep those answers alongside the boat details and proposed cruising area. Charter Easy can coordinate the questions with the operator before you settle on an offer.

Prepare the land journey and local briefing

Confirm the marina, meeting point and appointment before arranging the final journey from the airport or accommodation. Malta International Airport directs travellers to Malta Public Transport for bus information, and the transport provider publishes a journey planner, routes, timetables and service alerts. Use those tools for the confirmed destination and travel date, then ask the boat operator how the last part of the journey connects with reception and yacht handover.

Bring the proposed waters into the operator or skipper briefing. Transport Malta publishes port notices and notices to mariners, including current and archived sections. Ask which notices and local information apply to the trip, alongside the weather information the skipper will use. Time ashore can form a separate part of the holiday: keep visitor plans and provisioning needs with the enquiry so the company can review them against the agreed boat arrangements.

Compare the full offer before booking

Separate the charter price, known mandatory charges, base payments and refundable deposit when comparing boats. Keep requested extras and any unanswered cost question beside the offer. Use the same dates, guest number and departure preferences across the comparison, with accommodation, skipper scope and document checks recorded together. This gives Charter Easy a clear basis for obtaining the operator’s answers and explaining the terms associated with the shortlisted boats.

Send your preferred dates, guests, budget, boat preferences and intended cruising area in one enquiry. Add the practical questions about arrival, handover, briefing and return, including any guests arriving separately or provisioning you would like to arrange. Charter Easy can help coordinate the booking questions and provide support before departure, during the charter and after your return. The aim is to connect the boat choice with the arrangements your group will actually use.

Questions before you choose

  • Where can I start a yacht charter in Malta?

    Compare the Kalkara, Valletta, Gżira and Msida guides, then review individual offers for your dates. Check the boat’s named base and obtain the operator’s handover instructions before arranging the land journey.

  • Are all Valletta departures in the same harbour?

    The Valletta start includes Marina di Valletta at Sa Maison in Pietà, within Marsamxett, and Laguna Marina at Pinto Wharf in Floriana, on the Grand Harbour waterfront. Identify the named marina in the selected offer before planning arrival.

  • Can I include Gozo or Comino in my plans?

    Introduce any proposed island visit in the enquiry for the selected boat and departure. Gozo and Comino are part of the country’s island setting; the company handling the boat should review the intended cruising area and service arrangement.

  • How should I compare boat and skipper options?

    Compare cabins, berths, layout and equipment for the same dates, then establish whether the particular offer includes, requires or optionally provides a skipper. Ask for the scope and price of the arrangement and share your experience and documents for the company’s check.

  • How do I plan transport to the marina?

    Start with the operator’s confirmed marina and meeting point. Use Malta Public Transport’s journey planner, timetables and alerts for that location and date, and ask how the final approach connects with your handover appointment.

  • What should I send Charter Easy?

    Send dates, guests, budget, preferred departure, accommodation needs and intended waters. Include skipper, cost, document, handover and return questions. Charter Easy can use those details to prepare a shortlist and coordinate answers with the operator.
