  3. Upper Barrakka Gardens (beautiful gardens offering panoramic views of the Grand Harbour and the Three Cities)

SET SAIL WITH A PRIVATE CHARTER EXPERIENCE ALONG THE COAST

Let down your sails and take to the seas with an unforgettable experience on Malta’s Mediterranean waters, where you can charter a private yacht and explore some of the region’s most stunning coastlines and hidden bays. With its crystal-clear waters and favourable winds, Malta is the perfect destination for a luxury sailing excursion. So, whether you're looking to build closer bonds with new associates, reward top achievers or celebrate a new milestone, a private charter sailing experience in Malta is an ideal way to do it.

 

From the moment you step on board your private yacht, you'll be immersed in the beauty and tranquillity of the Maltese archipelago. Sail along the rugged coastline of Malta, explore the charming fishing villages of Gozo, or discover the tiny uninhabited islets that dot the region and look in awe at the natural beauty that surrounds you. As you sail through the pristine waters, you'll have the opportunity to indulge in a range of activities, from snorkelling and swimming to kayaking and paddleboarding. Otherwise, take a break from the water and head on land to explore the historic sites, ancient temples, and bustling markets.

 

Finally, relax and unwind in the sanctuary of the yacht’s luxurious cabins, spacious lounges, and range of modern amenities. With a wide array of facilities to choose from, you'll have everything you need to enjoy a truly relaxing trip in style.  


IMMERSE YOURSELF IN MALTA’S LAVISH VINEYARDS WITH AN AFTERNOON OF WINE TASTING

Throw yourself into the scents and flavours of Mediterranean wine making and immerse yourself in Malta’s lively wine scene with a trip to the local vineyards. A thriving industry with wines that have gained recognition internationally, wine tasting is a popular activity on the island and great choice for incentives visiting the area. Escape the crowds and breathe in the sweet air of Malta’s finest grapes as you sample local vintages and stroll through picturesque valleys.

 

Beginning with a tour of the local winery, you'll learn about the history of Maltese winemaking, the grape varieties grown in the region and the unique techniques used to cultivate the grapes. Next, it's time to sample the wines! Taste a variety of Maltese wines, including the local favourite – Gellewza – a red wine well known for its fruity notes and spicy finish. Then listen as a knowledgeable sommelier guides you through the wines, explaining their unique characteristics and pairing them with delicious local cheeses for the ultimate gastronomic experience.

 

Finally, head out for a moment’s quiet and take in the winery’s surrounding scenery with a stroll down its vine-woven valleys or picturesque picnic overlooking the rolling hills. A chance to leave with a deeper appreciation for Maltese wine and a memorable experience in one of the most beautiful corners of the Mediterranean, it’s a trip that’ll stay in your mind for years to come.


TEST YOUR LIMITS AND GET YOUR BLOOD PUMPING WITH AN AFTERNOON OF FLYBOARDING
