Why Malta?

You’ve heard about the sunshine — your friends weren’t exaggerating. Malta gets around 3,000 hours of sunshine a year, with a Mediterranean climate that keeps the sea swimmable from late spring through to autumn.

For a sea-based holiday, the geography is perfect. Despite the island’s modest size, there are dozens of beaches and bays to visit — and some of the best ones are only reachable by boat. Distances between Malta, Gozo, and Comino are short enough that you can island-hop in a single day, and the famous Blue Lagoon off Comino is one of the most photogenic anchorages in the Mediterranean.

When you step ashore there’s plenty to do. Activities range from diving and snorkelling to wandering megalithic temples, exploring the fortified streets of Valletta and Mdina, and catching a colourful village feast if you’re visiting in summer. Add affordable charters, English-speaking owners, and lively Mediterranean cuisine, and Malta makes a strong case for your next boating holiday.
