Malta

Referred to as the jewel of the Mediterranean, Malta sits in the heart of this magnificent sea, there is a particular exoticism about this very island country. The secluded bays, warm waters and uninhabited islands of the archipelago are perfect for a private yacht charter vacation. As you sail into the stunning harbor of Valetta you will be greeted by the imposing sight of the fortress, shining golden in the Maltese sun. The local limestone lends a yellow hue to the buildings, giving the towns a unique ambience. Rent a boat to explore the caves and rock formations of Gozo Island, sail to the Blue Grotto before sunrise, or moor up in the port of Marsaxlokk among brightly colored fishing boats. On land, the islands are full of historic and cultural heritages – see the incredible designs of St Johns Co-Cathedral that rival the Sistine Chapel, the ancient ruins of Hagar Qim temple, and dine on delicious fresh lampuki and other local delicacies.
