New full-service marinas to be developed in Malta for the high-
end superyacht market
Making Malta the jurisdiction of choice for the niche superyacht
industry by fostering a sustainable ecosystem supported by reliable
infrastructure, quality services and a skilled workforce –
this is the key factor of the Malta Government's new
strategic vision for the further development of the maritime sector
on the Maltese Islands.
Over the last 16 years, the number of superyachts exceeding 24
meters registered under the Merchant Shipping Act in Malta has
surged from just over 100 in 2007 to over 1,100 in August 2023.
Around 70% of the world's superyachts sail in the
Mediterranean throughout the whole year, with marinas generally
close to full capacity, especially in the Western European
Mediterranean countries during the high season.
