You can’t really say that you’ve seen the Maltese islands until you’ve seen it by sea. From the water, the cliffside to the shore are particularly picturesque, and the rugged coastline unforgettably dramatic.

Where should I rent or charter a boat?

You can rent a boat at Bluewaves Watersports, with or without a skipper in the town of Marfa. We suggest you opt for a boat rental with skipper or an organized boat tour if you do not have any experience at sea.

Do I need a boating license to rent a
boat in Malta without a skipper?

For most of the boats available for rental
in Malta, you do not need a boating license. However, we suggest that you have
at least some experience at sea if you choose to rent a boat without a skipper
as the currents along the Coast can be tricky.

What is the difference between a private
and small-group boat tour?

A private boat tour gives you the freedom
of having a boat all to yourself, while a small-group boat tour means sharing
the boat with other passengers. Usually, small-group boat tours have a maximum
of 10 to 15 passengers. Prices for private tours are per boat (all inclusive),
which small-group boat tours are prices per person.

How long does the boat trip take between
Marfa (Malta) and Gozo?

With an average sized boat, it takes a bit
more than 15 minutes.
