Seaworthy destination – Malta

Malta is a delightful day sail from Sicily’s south coast, offering a rich maritime experience. You should head to Valletta with options to dock inside harbour or at nearby marinas. Touring Valletta’s historic harbour provides unique views and an insight into its long history, including filming locations for the film Napoleon. The city is a maze of charming streets filled with restaurants and historical sites, such as Fort St. Elmo and St. John’s Cathedral. Not to be missed is nearby Hal Saflieni, a UNESCO World Heritage Site. Along the coast you can sail to Comino Island’s Blue Lagoon or Dwejra Bay on Gozo for a peaceful anchorage.
