See Arrival/Departure procedures for Malta.
Berthing Options
Yachts should proceed to one of the yacht marinas.
Marinas
- Grand Harbour Marina. This is primarily a floating pontoon marina in Grand Harbour. Stern to berths are available for larger vessels.
- Kalkara Boat Yard. In spring 2012 Kalkara Boatyard installed two rows of floating pontoons with water and electricity. The pontoons are sheltered by a wave breaker on the seaward side of the pontoons.
Note that despite a partial breakwater at the entrance to Grand Harbour, a notable amount of swell enters and is reflected around this harbour. Consequently boats berthed in these marinas may be subject to quite a bit of movement.
