Malta Yacht Charter, Malta

The small archipelago of Malta is a wonderful addition to any Mediterranean luxury yacht charter and the destination is famous for its extensive variety of UNESCO World Heritage Sites, including megalithic temples that are some of the world's oldest free-standing structures. Here, the past is mixed with the present in a passionate display of life.

Wherever you go on the island of Malta, you'll find stunning architecture and scenery. Many people don't realize that Malta is more than just a historical gem; it's also an outstanding sailing yacht charter destination in the Mediterranean with warm sunshine and clear blue skies from April through to October. The Maltese Island of Malta, Gozo and Comino provide a charming cruising ground for your Malta luxury yacht charter vacation.

Countless spas, boutiques and luxury boutiques line the streets of the towns in the world's fifth most densely populated country, ensuring that when you are not cruising by motor yacht or sailing yacht, you won't have far to travel to reach the next amazing exhibition. As well as the modern amusements and ancient relics, Malta has a great selection of beautiful beaches and secretive coves for hours of water sports in peace and privacy.

Malta, Comino and Gozo make up the Maltese archipelago and the islands lie between North Africa and Sicily where the Western Mediterranean and Eastern Mediterranean meet.

From the main island of Malta, travel to Comino, where there are some amazing wreck and cave dives that are home to seahorses as well as octopi, stingrays and parrotfish. Have the island all to yourself for a romantic dinner on the beach, or hike along the tracks and discover such sights as the Santa Maria Caves, St. Mary's Tower and other buildings erected in defence of the island during WWII.

The final island of Gozo will take you away from the noise and bright lights of modern civilisation for a natural world completely in harmony with itself. The stone buildings add to the already strong character of this region that feels from another time, and holistic lifestylers, fitness fanatics and those just looking to switch off will find what they were searching for here.

Malta is a truly unique and wonderful yacht charter area with impressive buildings and landscapes, superb coastlines and seascapes, and warm and friendly locals: To organise your Malta luxury yacht charter or to speak to a professional broker about your options, please contact CharterWorld.

More about this part of the Mediterranean Sea

Malta is placed in the Middle of the Mediterranean Sea on the cusp of the Western Mediterranean and Eastern Mediterranean luxury yacht charter grounds. Nearby, Sicily and the Aeolian Islands have copious volcanic sites that have created unique landscapes and fertile soils that have been put to use as vineyards.

Also close by is the Amalfi Coast, with such sites as Naples and the charming clifftop town of Ravello.

Scattered in the Mediterranean Sea are the islands of Linosa, Lampedusa and Pantelleria for even more beautiful beaches and pristine natural parks. Tunisia could also be included in an itinerary to Malta, adding a destination that has familiar aspects to be found in other magnificent Mediterranean destinations while still remaining wonderfully unique.

Malta Yacht Charter Experiences

A Malta luxury yacht charter is the perfect way to efficiently take in all sites across the islands, and sailing yachts and motor yachts, mono-hulls and catamarans of all sizes are suited to the excellent anchorages and well-designed modern ports.

From the moment you arrive in Valletta Harbour your group will immerse themselves in charming and grandiose buildings that loudly announce the magnificent history of this small island, and this popular tourist destination is awash in alluring cafes and restaurants as well as boutiques, international brand stores, galleries and museums.

Valletta on its own has plenty to fill your days: Begin your exploration of its history in the unmissable National War Museum in Fort St. Elmo - while Malta has several war museums, this is the most comprehensive and well maintained. Next door, the Knights Hospitallers is worth a look and is an atmospheric venue for events, while out in the fresh air the highly maintained Lower Barrakka Gardens give magnificent views out over the harbour. Visitors venturing into the town centre have the opportunity to enter The Grandmaster Palace Courtyard to learn more about the city's storied past. As the sun sets, discover the vibrant bar and club scene along the waterfront.

As you leave behind the crowds and spend your time in transit dining alfresco or sunbathing on the sundeck, and find a serene cove to anchor and sleep in peace surrounded by the sounds of nature.

Inland, Mdina is known for its bars and pedestrianised shopping streets, and in particular for the Silent City where there are historical treasures and a collection of Caravaggio paintings. St. Paul's Catacombs is also an incredible and worthwhile tour before your head down the southern roads to the 3200 BC ruins of Ħaġar Qim and the Blue Grotto, one of the most stunning natural sites in Malta.

The sleepy island of Gozo is a part of the Malta archipelago and is thought to be the legendary "Calypso’s Isle" of Homer’s Odyssey. It’s a peaceful, mystical backwater, with rugged landscape and spectacular coastline. Pull into rocky inlets or red sand beaches and spend hours entertaining yourself snorkelling, fishing and Scuba diving amongst some of the Mediterranean's best dive sites.

This destination is popular with older travellers who enjoy the peace and quiet, lack of modern development and retention of the old traditions. Many of the buildings are still made from natural stone instead of concrete so Gozo has an atmosphere all of its own.

Comino is a small inhabited island with only four people living there. Although there is a hotel, many visitors just come for the day to dive in the famous Blue Lagoon, leaving the rest of the island bays and beaches to your group. By kayak, paddleboard or tender, take your time amongst the Santa Maria and Julia caves to the west, where the white cliffs and topaz blue sea are perfect for adventurers and for artists and photographers to capture.

The Blue Lagoon is fairly busy from 10 in the morning until 4 in the afternoon, after which luxury yacht charter parties will have the place to themselves. Travel south to the natural amphitheatre of the Crystal Lagoon with its steep cliffs and glassy green water, which provides excellent seclusion for an overnight anchorage.

Things to Consider:

Yachting seasons & climate:.

Malta has an inviting year-round climate, where the winter season temperature drops to a warm average of 13°C/55°F and summer soars to a comfortable 27°C/81°F, with a high of 32°C/90°F.

From July to September the sea temperature sits around 26°C/79°F and are wonderfully warm for snorkelling, watersports and for beginner Scuba divers heading down to depths around 10m/33ft.

July is the driest month with little to no rainfall, and November through to January is the wettest season and visitors should plan their wardrobe accordingly.

Clothing to Pack For Your Charter:

Although there are some excellent beaches across the three main islands of Malta, visitors are most likely to spend their time exploring the streets of Valetta and the ruins to be found from the coast through to the interior. As such, a sturdy pair of hiking boots and a lightweight jacket is recommended, and visitors might want to include a long pair of trousers for walking along overgrown trails.

In town, smart-casual dress is typically seen for the cafes, bars and clubs as well as visiting the numerous museums, galleries and religious sites.

Main Ports and Marinas:

Valletta Port, Marsamxett Port, Bugibba Port, Cirkewwa Port, Marsaxlokk Port, Mgarr Port

Famous Restaurants & Clubs:

Inspirtions! Cafe (Valletta), The Whisky Bar (Valletta), Charles Grech Cafe & Cocktail Bar (Valletta), Twenty Two night club (Portomaso), Southport Restaurant, Cafe & Bar (Marsaxlokk), Havana Club (Paceville)

A Must See Attraction:

Grandmaster Palace Courtyard, Lower Barrakka Gardens, National War Museum - Fort St Elmo, The Knights Hospitallers, Blue Grotto

Best beaches to visit in your yacht:

Golden Sands Beach, Armier Bay Beach, Gnejna Bay, St. Peter's Pool

Local Yacht Events:

Sport Malta Regatta, Rolex Middle Sea Race

Best time to go:

Like most of the Mediterranean, the Malta yacht chartering season generally runs from April to the end of October. The summer season in July and August tends to have the best weather, as these are the hottest months with lighter winds. This is also the high season as far as yacht charter goes.

Other good times to charter your yacht is generally on either of the shoulder seasons (April-May and September-October), each side of the main summer season, as the temperatures are still comfortable, and the onshore tourists have yet to arrive in their largest numbers.

Autumn can be a great time to visit when the sea temperatures are still warm and there is a significant amount of sunshine, however visitors should expect short sharp thunderstorms during the evenings of this season.

5 Reasons to register your Yacht(s) in Malta

malta yachts

Information was last updated in May 2021 in accordance with changes in the law.

When it comes to cruising in the Mediterranean Sea and visiting the charming little villages along the coast is doubtless a dream of all yacht lovers where a yacht owner or seller will guide you that there are more to owning a yacht than what meets the eye. The next step after acquiring your yacht will be to register the vessel under a flag of a preferred jurisdiction. As a yacht owner, it is in your best interest to choose a jurisdiction which is fiscally competitive and highly accessible, yet reputable.

Malta has also developed a very strong legal and regulatory platform that has enabled the Malta flag to become a reputable international ship register which is now established as one of the largest in the world.

Income Tax Exemptions

  • A shipping organisation is exempt from tax on any income derived from shipping activities and any income or gains derived from the sale or other transfer of a tonnage tax ship or from the disposal of any rights to acquire a ship which when delivered or completed would qualify as a tonnage tax ship. “Shipping activities” comprises the international carriage of goods or passengers by sea or the provision of other services to or by a ship as may be ancillary thereto or associated therewith including the ownership, chartering or any other operation of a ship and includes also ship management activities of a ship manager.
  • Any gains arising upon the liquidation, redemption, cancellation, or any other disposal of shares, securities or any other interest, including goodwill, held in any licensed shipping organisation owning, operating, administering or managing a tonnage tax ship while she was a tonnage tax ship are exempt from tax in Malta.
  • No Malta tax is charged upon any payments of interest or other income in relation to the financing of the operations of shipping organisations or the financing of any tonnage tax ship.
  • No tax is chargeable upon dividends distributed by a shipping organisation to its shareholders, out of profits derived from shipping activities.

VAT-Efficient Finance Leasing Structure

In March 2020, the Commissioner for Revenue issued guidelines in relation to  VAT treatment of pleasure yacht leasing to better reflect the EU’s development and practices. The updated guidelines offer yacht owners the possibility of setting up attractive operational lease models, resulting in cash flow advantages and overall VAT optimization.

The guidelines are based on the principle of ‘use and enjoyment’ , whereby Maltese VAT at the standard rate of 18 per cent is charged on the portion of the lease covering the actual use and enjoyment of the yacht within EU waters , whereas no VAT is applicable when the yacht is effectively used and enjoyed within non-EU or international waters. The application of such principle, therefore, implies that the overall VAT incidence shall depend on the whereabouts of the yacht.

The lessor of a pleasure boat shall calculate the actual effective use and enjoyment by the lessee of the pleasure boat outside EU waters when it is possible to identify the place of effective use and enjoyment outside EU waters. For the purpose of such calculation, the lessor shall utilise such documentary and/or technological data (including logs retained by the master of the pleasure boat as well as any GPS/AIS data) as the lessor can reasonably obtain from the lessee.

In order to apply such VAT treatment on the actual use and enjoyment of the yacht, several general conditions and anti-abuse measures need to be satisfied, including:

  • Lessor must be a shipping company registered for VAT purposes in Malta;
  • Lessee must be a non-taxable person; in other words, the yacht must be used by the lessee for non-business purposes;
  • A yacht leasing agreement must be entered into between the lessor and the lessee, which must be for more than 90 days and which agreement must be at arm’s length and presented to the VAT Department;
  • Written approval on the application of the effective use and enjoyment principle must be obtained from the VAT Department;

VAT Treatment of Short-term Charters

Primarily a short-term charter is a charter for not more than 90 days, where a yacht is chartered for leisure purposes. In such case, the percentage of the lease which is deemed to be held in EU waters is calculated according to the size of the yacht follows;

VAT Treatment of Short-term Charters

Registration Procedure

Any type of marine vessel, be it large cruise lines, supertankers or private yachts may be registered in Malta. Yachts, depending on their intended use, can be registered under the Maltese flag, as private pleasure yachts or commercial yachts.

Visit our Yacht registration page for a detailed description of the procedure for vessel registration under the Malta flag.

Eligibility for registration

All types of vessels, from pleasure yachts to oil rigs, including vessels under construction, may be registered, provided that, inter alia, they are wholly owned by legally constituted corporate bodies or entities irrespective of nationality, or by European Union citizens.

The formation of a Maltese company is a straightforward operation as there are no nationality requirements as to both the shareholders and directors.

As a rule, trading ships of 25 years and over are not registered although in certain circumstances this may be considered.

Ships of 15 years and over are required to undergo successfully an authorized flag State inspection prior to provisional registration.

Ships of 10 years and over but under 15 years are required to undergo successfully an inspection by an authorized flag State inspector before or within one month of provisional registration.

Benefits of flying a Maltese Flag

Once successfully registered under the Malta flag, a yacht can also benefit from the excellent international repute of the flag , which is further enhanced by Malta’s membership within the European Union.

  • Yachts may be registered on behalf of legally constituted corporate bodies or entities irrespective of nationality.
  • Twenty-four hour, seven days a week service in response to urgent matters.
  • Low company formation, ship registration and tonnage tax costs.
  • Maltese law provides for the registration of yachts that are being built or equipped.
  • Attractive tax incentives to yachts and superyachts owners encouraging commercial operation.
  • No restrictions on the sale or mortgaging of Maltese registered yachts and superyachts.
  • A dynamic registration with one of the largest ship registers in the world and very active in EU for and international organization such as the IMO.
  • A sovereign state, member of the European Union with political, fiscal and social stability.
  • The registration of a body corporate in Malta to own or operate a ship is a relatively straightforward operation and Maltese ship-owning companies operate in a relatively restriction-free environment. For example:
  • There are no trading restrictions and there is preferential treatment to Maltese ships in certain ports.
  • There is a complete tax exemption to owners, charterers, and financiers of Maltese or Community (including EEA) ships of over 1,000 net tons (exempted ships).
  • Furthermore, no tax is payable on dividends paid to the shareholders.

SMM Group focuses its expertise for any Yacht owner to obtain a Maltese flag hassle-free and by providing all supported legal services through and fort.

Below are the documents which are required for your provisional application:

  • A Malta yacht registration application
  • A Declaration of Ownership
  • Keep in mind, you will have to provide an international tonnage certificate if your yacht is longer than 24 meters. If you only have a copy, that will be fine.
  • Any requested or required technical information must be provided.
  • If your yacht is properly equipped, you will need a radio license application as well.

You will be given a Certificate of Malta Registry once all steps have been completed. This certification is proof that your yacht is properly registered in Malta.

PRIVATE YACHT REGISTRATION

In order to register your yacht permanently under the Maltese flag, you must provide specific documents within six months from provisional registration.

COMMERCIAL YACHT REGISTRATION

The operation of commercially registered yachts for chartering purposes using a Maltese company (using a Maltese International Trading Company) is very tax advantageous.

VAT YACHT LEASE

Guidelines have been published regarding the effective use and enjoyment by a lessee of a pleasure boat within and outside EU territorial waters...

The Financial Advantages of Yacht Registration Malta

If you own a business which provides yachts for commercial use and generates an income from these yachts, you are entitled to an income tax exemption. Your exemption is based on the annual tonnage tax , which is calculated using the yearly registration fee of your yacht and its gross tonnage.

If you have a commercial yacht for the sole purpose of transporting passengers, your company will have a VAT exemption on all maintenance costs and supplies for the yacht. Also, if you earn an income from a chartering business, you will not be charged a VAT.

If your commercial yacht is not eligible for an income tax exemption, you might be able to claim an income tax rate that is less than 5%. If the commercial operations of the yacht resulted in a foreign income tax that had to be paid, you can use it as a credit to lower your Maltese income tax rate. Your rate might be as low as 0%.

The Republic of Malta is an archipelago consisting of three inhabited islands Malta, Gozo and Comino. The Maltese islands are situated in the middle of the Mediterranean Sea about 100 km South of Italy. Learn what is required to establish a company in the Republic of Malta.

"We offer yachts for chartering and wanted to ensure we were properly registered in Malta. Through research, we discovered Malta Yacht Registration and read everything they had to offer on their website. Upon contacting them, they helped us with the registration process and provided us with competitive registration and renewal fees.  We were on a short time frame so they provided their 24-hour service to take care of the urgent situation. Their site offers multiple languages to fit both private and commercial yacht owners from around the world which is impressive.  They also provided a professional, certified translator to help us through the entire process.  I cannot possibly say enough about their professionalism and attention to all details.  Thank you!"
