Welcome to the Royal Malta Yacht Club

A  club rich in history having been founded in 1835. It is the only yacht club in Malta and is a founding member of the Malta Sailing Federation.  Its deep commitment to yachting and sailing sees it host a full programme of racing and social activities throughout the year. 

 

Located right on the water in Ta’ Xbiex Marina the club offers extraordinary facilities which include a lounge bar and dining area with outdoor terraces, roof top terrace, conference rooms, a fitness room with changing rooms, waterfront facilities for small boats and a seasonal marina for larger boats. 

 

The Club is run by a committee elected by the full members of the club, who vary in age and profession but share a common passion for yachting and the social life that is generated around the club. 

 

Malta with its wonderful weather has a great lifestyle with plenty of opportunities for sport and the club is an ideal base for yachtsmen whether for racing or cruising at any time of year. It is a favourite port of call for members of renowned yacht clubs from all over the world with which the club has reciprocal agreements.
