FAQ
Frequently Asked Questions
How far in advance should I book a berth in Malta?
For peak season (June–September), we recommend booking 4–6 weeks ahead. Off-season berths can often be secured within 24–72 hours, depending on vessel size and marina preference.
Which marinas in Malta can accommodate superyachts over 50 metres?
Grand Harbour Marina in Vittoriosa is the primary facility for large superyachts, with berths up to 100 metres. Portomaso Marina and Manoel Island also handle larger vessels depending on draft and beam restrictions.
Can you arrange berths outside Malta during a Mediterranean cruise?
Yes. While our primary expertise is Malta, we coordinate with partner agents across Sicily, Sardinia, the Balearics, and the wider Med to arrange transit berths as part of your cruise plan.
What shore-power options are available at Maltese marinas?
Most superyacht berths in Malta provide 380V and 440V three-phase shore power. Grand Harbour Marina offers high-capacity connections for vessels with significant electrical loads. We confirm exact specifications before arrival.
Do you handle berth contracts and negotiations?
Absolutely. We negotiate berth rates, review contract terms, and manage renewals on your behalf. For long-term stays, we often secure preferential rates.
Is berthing in Malta available year-round?
Yes. Malta's mild climate makes it a year-round yachting destination. Winter berths are more readily available and generally more cost-effective.
