Our Favorite Sailing Destination [Ep.39] Must Stop for Sailors - SV CUBA

This week we made it to the tiny island of Malta: An ABSOLUTE MUST for sailors! Malta may be a haven for charter boats, but no cruiser should miss the absolutely stunning entrance of grand harbour Valletta. It is the most fortified city of all Europe and there are many sailing events held here.

Though we didn’t do the check in process correctly, the Maltese authorities have been incredibly friendly and helped us every step of the way. The next day we were ready to explore the island but before that we got a visit from Transport Malta, the maritime police force of the island.

With everything sorted, we take our dinghy over to the other side of Grand Harbour and make our way to the city centre of Valletta. Even though it is one of the smallest capital cities, Valletta boats some impressive architecture, history and numerous beautiful churches and cathedrals. It was also awarded as the cultural capitol of Europe.

Besides that, Malta is a paradise for boats, with its many bays and coves. You will find the famous Blue Lagoon here on Comino Island and many famous movies have been filmed on the island of Gozo and Malta. There is something for everyone in Malta and we definitely fell in love with the island and its people.

If you are looking for a sailing destination or if you are searching for an interesting country to visit, Malta should be on the top of your list.

We are Enrique (Kiki) from Cuba and Sarah (Salsa) from Germany, a sailing couple. We are living on a boat, our tiny house, creating a travel vlog as we sail around the world. We have almost zero sailing experience, but are determined to circumnavigate & share our adventures with you.

We are by no means film makers or video editors so please let us know what you think about our videos, what you like to see more of – or less 😉

Sailing life can be a real challenge and a bit scary at times (especially when your home dangles from an iron thread just 10 mm thick). What is to come? We don’t know but day by day we are learning how to live more sustainable, living off grid, more connected to nature, so we can share our adventures with you. Come storm or good weather.
