Thinking of cruising the stunning Maltese coastline on a small yacht, all to yourself, with whomever you please?
We are a “Boutique” charter boat for individuals, not crowds…for those of us who enjoy the quiet luxury of beautiful surroundings, excellent food and good company.
The Grande Horizontale is a small motor yacht, large enough for comfort, speed, and privacy but small enough to be manned by just the personable yet discreet Captain. This leaves you the leisure to enjoy the boat as if it were your own.
The yacht is fast and fun on the outdoor flybridge, bow, and stern, whereas it has a cool and elegant classic interior, with air-conditioned cabins (while in the Marina,) salon, kitchen and bathrooms.
We have had only 5-star reviews on internationally reputed charter boat booking sites such as Click&Boat and SamBoat, and we are proud to have earned Click&Boat.com’s Super Owner status. “Super Owners are experienced boat owners who have received positive reviews and are committed to providing services of the highest quality.”
We aim at leaving you as much freedom as possible within nautical constraints, including flexible durations, departure times and destinations within Maltese waters. Here are a few of our basic offers and ideas, but feel free to embellish according to what kind of Day Trip, Evening Trip or Multi-Day trip you have in mind!
