Experiences
CRUISE! DISCOVER, TASTE, VISIT & ENJOY
At Talamare, we believe that experience can turn a special yacht charter into an extra special one. Take a look at the few examples below and contact our charter planners for details and recommendations.
A thrilling dive
With its rugged cliffs, riddled with sea caves and reefs, Malta is great for diving and snorkelling. In fact, Malta has some of the world’s most reputed diving spots: excellent visibility, rich marine life and extraordinary wrecks. Dwejra and Gozo are great spots.
Explore the silent city
Mdina, the former capital city of Malta, is located on a hill in the centre of the island. Mdina has some beautiful palaces – we recommend you visit Xara Palace for your lunch. The streets make for a great stroll and you can visit some interesting historical sites such as the Roman Villa ‘Domus Romana’.
Taste the local cuisine
The local cuisine is very tasty. We recommend you try ‘pastizzi’, delicious bites of puff pastry stuffed with ricotta, meat or mushy peas. Another must-try is the ‘fenkata’, a rabbit stew. Don’t hesitate to try the local wine.
Our favourite spots
Comino
Tiny Comino is an oasis of calm with unparalleled beauty. A must-stop on your yacht charter in Malta. The traffic-free island has just a handful of inhabitants and one hotel, everything else is nature at its wildest.
Blue lagoon
Curiosity
The blue lagoon is simply put: beach perfection. Ideal for snorkelling and relaxing.
Gozo
More rural than neighbouring Malta, the island of Gozo is the perfect place to relax on your yacht charter. The rugged island is famed for historic sites such as the ancient Citadel, the origins of which go back to medieval times. As you cruise along the coast you will notice dramatic archways.
