Marinas in Malta

 

Malta's position almost in the centre of the Mediterranean makes it an ideal jumping off point for many other cruising grounds and an increasing number of European yachts make their base on the island. Fortunately there is more to Malta than just its repair and maintenance facilities, and besides the impressive Valletta harbour, there are many delightful anchorages around the islands. The climate is like North Africa's, extremely hot, dry summers and mild winters. Prevailing winds throughout the year are northwesterlies. When the hot sirocco wind blows from the south, it comes laden with dust.

The marina consists of 208 berths. The marina provides a perfect stop-over for anyone visiting Gozo or cruising around the Maltese Islands. The island is a third of the size of Malta, but greener and more rural. Its landscape has hills and deep
valleys as well as rugged cliffs, which give natural protection to the island’s small harbours and inlets. Little wonder it has become known as an island of charm and beauty.

Busy commercial and pleasure harbour with good yacht anchorages on the NE side.

Sliema/St Julian's Area
The Msida Marina is the main yachting centre in Malta. It's a magnificent enterprise consisting of 756 berths close to the major business and resort areas and provides safe berthing.

The marina is situated in the innermost part of Marsamxetto Harbour. The building of a breakwater across the entrance has produced a very safe and well sheltered marina. Berthing is provided on 15 lines of floating pontoons, providing 700 berths up to 18 metres in length on double mooring lines.

Water and electricity is available at every berth off modern service modules. Showers, toilets, overseas telephone facilities, poste restante and restaurant are all found at the Administration Office Block, which also houses Customs and Police. The location of the marina, close to banks, hotels, restaurants, chandlery shops and yacht agencies, makes life easier for visiting yachtsmen.
