Sailing Through History: Discover Malta’s Ancient Coastal Landmarks by Boat You didn’t come to Malta just to sunbathe on a hotel terrace. You came for something more. To sail in the shadow of empires. To glide across waters where Phoenician traders once whispered deals over amphorae of oil and wine. Medsail Malta
Start at Grand Harbour Start your journey in Grand Harbour. No other place in Malta holds more stories per square meter. As your yacht glides past Fort St. Angelo, you’re brushing shoulders with the Knights of St. John, Ottoman fleets, and a few ghosts, probably. You can almost hear a canon go off. Not for show, but for war. Set aside a moment here. Grand Harbour isn’t just a backdrop. It’s the stage where Malta’s most dramatic moments unfolded. From the Great Siege of 1565 to World War II bombings, this water has seen resilience, defiance, and the kind of firepower that once echoed across continents. You don’t just sail out—you pass through layers of living history.
