Can I sail to Gozo and Comino on a one-week charter?
One of Malta's greatest strengths as a sailing destination is that the distances between attractions are short. During a typical seven-day charter you can comfortably explore Malta, Gozo and Comino without feeling rushed.
Popular stops include the spectacular Blue Lagoon on Comino, the dramatic coastline around Gozo, the historic Grand Harbour in Valletta, and quieter anchorages such as Mgarr ix-Xini and St Paul's Bay. With relatively short daily passages, you'll have plenty of time for swimming, snorkelling, sightseeing and enjoying Malta's excellent waterfront restaurants.
