Details
Marsaxlokk, a traditional fishing village on Malta's southeastern coast, offers more than just colorful boats bobbing in a lively harbor. It’s a gateway to some of the island’s most rugged coastline and secluded Mediterranean coves, best accessed by water. Prime Logistics Ltd brings this maritime landscape to life aboard the Grecale, a full-day charter on a meticulously restored 21-meter former military vessel. The Grecale’s sturdy frame and spacious deck provide both comfort and stability as you cruise past towering limestone cliffs, secret beaches, and sparkling blue waters that typify Malta’s southern shore.
This isn’t your average boat trip. The Grecale’s crew tailor the experience to your pace and interests—whether that’s swimming beneath dramatic sea arches, paddleboarding in quiet bays, or simply soaking in panoramic views toward Gozo and Comino islands. The vessel’s history adds an intriguing layer; once a military asset, it now delivers peaceful daycharters full of adventure and relaxation. Malta’s coastline here features natural rock formations carved by centuries of wind and waves, alongside marine life unique to the central Mediterranean basin.
Prime Logistics Ltd stands out for blending authentic maritime heritage with modern leisure, delivering customized trips that showcase local geography and culture from a waterborne perspective rarely accessible to visitors. Marsaxlokk itself, famed for its fish market and traditional luzzu boats, enriches the experience with local flavor before and after your journey. The Grecale’s full-day charter is ideal for travelers seeking an active yet laid-back day amidst Malta’s crystalline waters, a chance to connect with nature and history on one well-crafted voyage.
