About

Your Experience

Set Out on a Scenic Harbor Journey

Begin your adventure from the vibrant Sliema seafront, where you’ll board a comfortable vessel for a cruise passing through two of Malta’s most picturesque harbors: Marsamxett Harbor and Grand Harbor. The boat glides along tranquil waters, revealing a unique panorama of Malta’s history and architecture from the sea.

Discover the History Behind the Harbors

As your boat threads through the harbors, listen to the informative audio guide in English. Learn how Marsamxett and Grand Harbor served as thriving trading posts for the Phoenicians and Romans, and later became strongholds for the Knights of St. John and British Navy. The commentary brings to life the stories of maritime battles, fortress construction, and the crucial role these waterways played in shaping Malta.

Spectacular Forts and Waterfronts

Cruising along, you’ll encounter dramatic views of fortifications including Fort Manoel, an 18th-century masterpiece on Manoel Island, Fort Tigné with its imposing structure, and Fort Lascaris guarding the cityscape. Witness how historic walls, bastions, and domes paint a striking picture of Valletta’s skyline. The ever-changing views include bustling yacht marinas and working dockyards, immersing you in the daily rhythms of harbor life.

Explore Valletta’s Hidden Creeks

Your journey takes you in and out of Valletta’s creeks: Sliema Creek, Lazzaretto Creek, Menqa, Marsa, and the Inner Basin. From peaceful inlets fringed by greenery to urban spurs lined with boats, each creek offers its own atmosphere. This winding exploration gives a quieter, more intimate glimpse of the city compared to bustling central spots.

The Three Cities Across the Water

Gaze across to the storied Three Cities—Vittoriosa (Birgu), Senglea (Isla), and Cospicua (Bormla)—where stone streets and harborside palazzos reveal layers of history. Vittoriosa, in particular, features heritage sites like Fort St. Angelo, the Inquisitor’s Palace, and a maritime museum, illustrating Malta’s pivotal position in the Mediterranean.

Maritime Legends and Local Insights

Fun facts and hidden anecdotes enrich the trip, such as how Marsamxett Harbor was highly valued by military powers through the centuries for its sheltered waters and strategic location. Your guide shares stories of shipbuilding, trade, and the transformation of old dockyards into modern yachting hubs.

Unforgettable Perspectives of Malta

This cruise offers a relaxed pace for photography, sightseeing, and simply soaking in Malta’s waterfront heritage. Whether you’re a history enthusiast, keen photographer, or simply seeking fresh sea air and spectacular city views, this boat tour brings Malta’s story to life from the water.
