Birzebbugia Bay Moorings
Birzebbugia sits on Malta's south coast with swing moorings in the bay, offering a real option for owners cruising the south coast or basing a smaller boat away from the busy north.
Read more ›Malta and Gozo have a well-developed marina network catering to charter boats, day-boats, and superyachts alike. From the historic walls of Grand Harbour Marina in Vittoriosa to the working pontoons of Msida and Manoel Island, the fishing-village mooring at Mġarr in Gozo, and the modern facilities at Portomaso, you’ll find every type of berth, fuel, water, and chandlery within a few miles of wherever you’re sailing.
For visiting yachts, the larger marinas can usually accommodate transient berths in season — though it’s worth booking ahead in July and August. For charter customers, the marina you’re leaving from will be set by the boat owner; check your booking confirmation, or message the owner if you need parking, fuel, or shore-power details for your trip.
Below is an overview of the main marinas around Malta and Gozo — with notes on character, services, and what each one is best suited for.
