Cruise aboard our eco‑friendly, fully air‑conditioned, state‑of‑the‑art 20‑metre catamaran.

Join us on a Traditional Harbour Cruise and immerse yourself in Malta’s rich and gallant history as we sail through the island’s two iconic natural harbours: Marsamxett Harbour and the majestic Grand Harbour, flanking the historic capital city of Valletta.

As we glide past imposing forts, ancient battlements, and charming creeks surrounding Valletta and the Three Cities, you’ll enjoy a unique perspective that can only be experienced from the sea.

Our live commentary in English and German brings history to life—unfolding the dramatic stories behind the Great Sieges of 1565 and 1942, along with other fascinating landmarks and events that shaped Malta’s past.

What To Expect

1

Sliema

We depart from Sliema Ferries and cruise through Sliema Creek. Sliema Creek is a very busy waterway, with harbour cruise boats operating from it that are constantly plying in and out with tourists. The advantage of mooring on this jetty is that it's located at the centre of Sliema, a very busy area with all kinds of shops, restaurants, bars, etc., which is a short walk from the jetty; therefore, before or after the trip, one can enjoy a walk along the beautiful promenade, have a meal or a coffee in the many eateries in the area, or browse through the many shops located at the centre of Sliema.

Manoel Island

Passing by Manoel Island. Manoel Island, formerly known as Bishop's Island or the Isolotto, is a small island that forms part of the municipality of Gżira in Marsamxett Harbour, Malta. It is named after the Portuguese Grand Master António Manoel de Vilhena, who built a fort on the island in the 1720s. Manoel Island is a low, rather flat hill, shaped roughly like a leaf. It is located in the middle of Marsamxett Harbour, with Lazzaretto Creek to its south and Sliema Creek to its north. The island is connected to mainland Malta by a bridge. The whole island can be viewed from the bastions of the capital, Valletta.

    So worth the effort, smaller boat and less busy than the hop on hop off. Took us into all the inlets and we had stunning views of Valetta, the Three Cities and Sliema

    some mobility challenges getting on and, more particularly, off the boat as she was moving up and down a fair bit but crew were excellent in providing helping hands - apart from that this was a very pleasant 90 minutes - seating was very comfortable and the scenery was wonderful. Highly recommended.
