Malta, Comino, and Gozo—the three principal islands of the Maltese archipelago—are celebrated for their vibrant culture, historic sites, and culinary delights. Beyond the luxurious yachting experiences, Malta boasts some of the best scuba diving in the Mediterranean, with diverse natural reefs, stunning underwater caves, and remarkable rock formations. The year-round mild weather and clear visibility make it a dream destination for divers.
A Hub for Yachting and More

A Boon for Yacht Charters with Lower VAT Rates
To make Malta even more attractive for yacht charters, the Maltese government has introduced a lower VAT rate for renting pleasure boats. As outlined in legal notice L.N.231 of 2023, if someone rents a pleasure boat for up to 5 weeks within a year, they only have to pay a 12% tax rate. This favorable tax structure is set to boost Malta’s appeal among yacht charter companies and individual yacht owners. Learn more about Malta’s yacht charter regulations here.
