8-Hour Private Day Charter with Skipper 

Your private 8-hour charter begins at Marina di Valletta, where your skipper will welcome you aboard Star Seed, a spacious 14-metre sailing yacht. After a short briefing, we cruise along Malta’s dramatic limestone coastline towards the most beautiful bays and anchorages for the day. Each route is shaped around the weather and sea conditions, with your preferences in mind.

We may stop in the crystal-clear, sheltered waters of Selmun, Imgiebah Bay or St Paul’s Islands before continuing north towards Comino. We can pass the famous Blue Lagoon and explore quieter coves away from the busiest areas. Crystal Lagoon, with its vivid blue water, sea caves and nearby wreck, provides a spectacular setting for swimming, snorkelling and soaking up the scenery. Depending on conditions, we may also visit secluded spots around southern Gozo, such as Ħalfa Rock.

We usually visit several swimming spots, giving you plenty of time to snorkel in crystal clear water, use the stand-up paddleboard or simply unwind on deck and relax in the sun. We will anchor in a sheltered bay for lunch, where you are welcome to use the onboard barbecue. When the wind is suitable, your skipper may also hoist the sails for part of the journey back to the marina.

For a more sheltered yet equally scenic alternative, the charter can follow a harbour route around Manoel Island, Sliema Creek, Marsamxett Harbour, the Grand Harbour and historic Birgu. From the water, you can admire Valletta’s impressive bastions, centuries-old fortifications and magnificent harbour views from a completely different perspective. Along the way, we will stop in scenic bays where you can cool off with a refreshing swim and relax on board.

Water, tea and coffee are included. You are welcome to bring your own food, snacks and drinks to enjoy on board.

This listing is for the private 8-hour day charter. Half-day and evening charters may also be available on request.
