General
Msida Marina is the best place to keep a yacht in Valletta. The marina provides all the services but it is usually crowded. There are laid moorings and there is no need to anchor.
Fuel is provided by trucks which come every day. Also, a vegetable truck comes every morning bringing fresh produce, bread, etc. Several trades people. carpenters, sailmakers, etc.) come by offering their services. Most of the marina is enclosed and well protected.
