Marina berths in Malta

[silver-fox]

I sailed into Grand Harbour Oct 2010 - got a temporary berth in GHM for 5 weeks then lifted out for the winter. Got temporary berth again for 5 weeks in April/May and then again when I returned in Sept 2011 - this time for nearly 3 months (although had to agree to move the boat within the marina when the owner of the berth I was first on returned) before being lifted out again for the winter. I am the waiting list for an annual berth but I don't have much hope of getting one in the near future. So yes it is difficult to get a berth in Malta - extremely difficult to get an annual berth - but with some perseverance I believe you can get a berth on a tempoary basis when you are here.

Quality of services is I think reasonably good (although not cheap) - certainly as good if not better than I found on south coast England and in most countries in our travels - but of course you do need to take care to ensure you are dealing with a reliable service co/supplier and of course like most countries there are poor quality services and also you do need to negotiate/check prices in advance to avoid overpaying - in my experience that's true in every country we've visited.

Hope this helps.

Blimey.....you have a much deeper pocket than me. I had a very enjoyable 24 hrs in GHM but at 90€ a night in June it was too rich for my blood.

Last week...

...there were half a dozen spaces inside the breakwater at M'Sida. I wintered there last year and it was a b####er to get a space then! Things are very quiet there at present. Everyone's gone to Sicily...

Thank you for your reply!
Any highly recommended agency for food and drinks supply? I have been checking many agencies websites and they all seem to say they are the best...

Cheers!
