On your way, and if weather conditions are in your favour, you can drop anchor at Marsascala, a small cove home to a picturesque fishing village.

Use this chance to go ashore by tender and discover the southern part of Malta which has not yet been touched by mass tourism. Enjoy a swim in the crystal-clear waters surrounding you or benefit from the many water sport activities offered on board.

Lunch on deck with stunning views and a fresh breeze, and finally settle in at Island Bay with its many beautiful anchorage spots and rocky scenery. Weather depending, continue to Marsaxlokk and end the day with a relaxing evening on board.

Begin the day with an early breakfast on the sun deck before you head ashore to Marsaxlokk. Take a stroll through this beautiful fishing village and perhaps even pick up some fresh seafood for your lunch. This bay is also a commercial shipping port, therefore swimming is not recommended, but you have plenty of other choices to spend your time. For example, explore the remains of the megalithic tombs which can be found on the hills above Marsaxlokk.

If you wish to have a swim and cool off in refreshing water, the Blue Grotto and Wied Iz-Zurrieq offer you all you need and more. Time your arrival at the sequence of caves that make up the Blue Grotto at around 1pm. At this hour, some of the caverns mirror the bright colours of the sea while others glow in a deep, fascinating blue. Enjoy a tour of the caves by kayaking in this spectacular place.

The afternoon invites you for a swim by the beach at Golden Bay. When weather conditions are good, drop anchor here or in Gnejna, a sheltered cove surrounded by clay and limestone cliffs. Enjoy cocktails and dinner on the aft deck while watching the locals sail out for night fishing, illuminating the bay with their lights dancing on the surface of the dark sea.

Today is all about exploring the remote island of Gozo. Eat breakfast on board the Marina of Mgarr. Head inland to the beautiful countryside with its many churches, megalithic monuments and historic forts, evidence of 6000 years of civilization.

Victoria (also known as Rabat) is the only proper town among the otherwise small villages, mostly home to visitors who chose this to be their second home during the summer season. Gozo is known as a glimpse back in time when Malta still represented the traditional way of life, far away from modernisation and insatiable development.

Discover every corner of this serene place and find yourself in a cozy restaurant serving local specialties to enjoy your lunch. Take your time before you head back to the yacht in the late afternoon for a bit of sunbathing and a relaxation time on deck while your crew supplies you with refreshing drinks and hors d’oeuvres.

Have a swim or enjoy the watersports equipment in the crystal-clear waters here before sailing back to the stunning blue lagoon before you head back to Malta.

Spend the day gazing at the picturesque coast line, sunbathing on deck, swimming in sapphire blue waters and only let yourself be interrupted by the delicacies that the Chef has prepared for your lunch and dinner.

Distance to travel: 25nm

Depending on weather conditions, you will have spent the night in one of the bays on the Maltese North coast. Wake up to a fresh breakfast and head ashore to explore either Mellieha with its sandy beach that invites sun worshippers or the beautiful anchorage spot of Selmun as well as the famous St. Paul’s Bay that is said to be the place where St. Paul got shipwrecked on the way to his trial in Rome.

The day well spent, head back to Valletta, the lively heart of Malta and perhaps ashore for more shopping and a delicious local dinner at one of the inviting restaurants.

The time has come for your goodbyes to the crew for final disembarkation and transfer to the airport.
