What is this tour like?
Head out from Creek Yacht Marina in Ta' Xbiex for a half-day of reef fishing around Malta. Fishing Malta runs shared and private charters on custom-designed fishing vessels fitted with echo sounders and GPS. The skipper takes care of the gear and technique so you can focus on the fish — no prior experience is needed.
The shared 4-hour Fun Reef Fishing trip is the entry point: up to 10 anglers bottom-fish with light tackle for bream, pandora, mackerel, wrasse and other reef fish. If you want the boat to yourselves, private charters for up to 4 start at €380 for four hours. The 5-hour Deluxe Combo and the 8-hour Extended Tour add trolling and drifting for pelagic species such as amberjack, barracuda, dorado and tuna.
Species change through the year: Bonito Tuna from February to April, Albacore Tuna May to July, Amberjack May to September, Dorado August to November, and Skipjack Tuna October to December. The operation runs all year round.
