Malta by Water: A Guide to the Islands You Can Reach by Yacht

Sail Through History, Beauty, and Hidden Paradise

Few places in the world combine history, charm, and natural beauty quite like the Maltese Islands.
From vibrant harbors to untouched coves, the best way to experience them is by sea — aboard your private Lagoon 46 with Mesa Yachting.

Here’s your insider’s guide to Malta’s most breathtaking destinations, accessible only by yacht.

1. Comino – The Blue Lagoon

A must-see for any charter.
Famous for its turquoise waters and dramatic cliffs, Blue Lagoon is ideal for swimming, snorkeling, or simply floating in pure tranquility.
Anchor nearby and enjoy a gourmet lunch onboard as the sun sparkles on the sea.

2. Gozo – The Island of Serenity

Just a short sail from Malta, Gozo feels like a world apart.
With its unspoiled bays, ancient villages, and laid-back charm, it’s perfect for a multi-day charter.
Don’t miss Mgarr ix-Xini, a hidden cove surrounded by cliffs — one of our guests’ favorite sunset stops.

3. St. Paul’s Islands – A Touch of Legend

According to history, this is where St. Paul was shipwrecked — and it’s now one of Malta’s most peaceful anchorages.
Calm waters, seabirds overhead, and golden rocks make it an ideal stop for a quiet afternoon swim.

4. Mellieħa Bay – Wide Horizons and Soft Sands

Malta’s largest bay offers calm seas and beautiful scenery.
Drop anchor, explore nearby caves by paddleboard, or relax on deck with a chilled drink in hand.

5. Valletta & Grand Harbour – The Elegant Return

As the sun sets, sailing into Valletta’s Grand Harbour feels like entering a living postcard.
The glowing limestone walls, the city lights, and the calm reflection on the water create an unforgettable finale to your journey.
