Things To Do On The Malta Sailing and Climbing Trip
Experience the culture and nature of this small Mediterranean country. Sail along the sea cliffs and drop anchor in a remote bay. Learn to hoist the sail, take the helm, find your way with a chart. Learn to climb and to belay, improve your climbing technique and challenge yourself. Walk through the streets of the fortified cities built by the Knights of Malta, shop for some fish at Marsaxlokk market, and try the Maltese pastizzi. Follow the Good Friday and Easter Sunday procession of statues through the narrow streets. Distances are small in Malta, so we’ll have plenty of freedom in one week to find the combination of sailing, climbing and culture that suits us.

Extra Activities
Sailing is fun not only due to the wind, ropes and people who join us. We like to be creative with our time on board. Feel free to suggest even the most crazy of ideas! We like to experiment!
Learn to climb
Our instructor will guide you for your first steps on the rock.
Sea cliffs
Climb directly above the water.
Explore the caves
By foot, by dinghy or swimming, there are loads of mysterious sea caves to be discovered.
Climb hard!
Experienced climbers can go for it with routes up to 8b, overhangs or deep water solo.
Abseil
Slide down along the rope. Maybe we can even drop into the dinghy.
Climbing the mast
Either underway or at anchor you are free to climb the mast. We actually will give you harness and winch you up, so no worries. It`s safe.
Sunsets
Watch the sunset over Gozo from the top of Santa Maria tower.
Stroll the streets
Take in the charm of the narrow streets of Malta and Gozo.
Fireworks
Malta is absolutely crazy about fireworks! They are almost guaranteed on our route.
Enjoy the Mediterranean
Remember that the sea is always two steps away. Just take a dive for refreshment and discover the underwater world.
Enjoy the beach
Swim from the yacht towards the fine sanded beaches of Comino.
Pastizzi
Try out the snack speciality of Malta. High in fat, low in price!
Jamming
Bring your instruments and let’s sing it out loud! Bottles, winches, cans, clapping and singing is highly encouraged.
Composing Naleia songs
We always encourage people to do music and some of you surprised us with actually writing some pieces. Thanks!
Enjoy the moment
Lay down on the bow and enjoy the views passing by. Be here, be now.
Sunrise sailing
Not obligatory to get up and not always possible but sunrise sailing is a very special little event. Pssst, let others enjoy it in silence.
Beer O`Clock
When it comes, it comes. A perfectly chilled beer puts out your thirst like nothing else. It also replenishes electrolytes!
Water guns
Hopefully not only you brought one along. If not for splashing others, it is very useful to splash your own feet and cool them down from time to time.
Enjoying the water
Dive in and lay back. The salty water will help you to float and enjoy the refreshment.
Rafting
Rafting is a perfect way to enable crews to mingle. We raft for lunches and sometimes for the night. Go to the other crews and say hello.
Snorkelling
Discover what sort of creatures live underwater or how does the boat look from down under.
Floaties time
There is nothing like sitting comfortably in a floatie and enjoy your favorite drink.
Dolphin Spotting
Not guaranteed, but we may spot some sea mammals!
Progressive dinner
One boat cooks the starters, one boat does the main and one dessert. We all hop from one boat to another and enjoy a full dinner!
Fender flights
Highly dangerous, so only for the agile ones. Fender flights are an exciting way to spend a windless afternoon.
Line dragging
In case of no winds or simply to cool down, we can drag a line behind the boat.
Skinny dipping
Well, if you and the crew likes, there is nothing against some swimming without the swimsuit! Freedom!
Regatta
At the end of the week we always try to have a little regatta. Skippers ought to have taught you enough by now to feel confident and safe.
Fire shows
Malta has an active fire show scene, see you on the beach!
Having a good time
Be yourself, enjoy, meet others and share your holiday time. Our time is precious. Use it well.
Life On Board
Living on a yacht is a bit different to living in a house. You will live on the blue side of the sea, and have the sea as your backyard. Sailing frees the spirit and strengthens the mind. It decreases privacy, so hiccups, quirks and weaknesses are rapidly exposed. It’s definitely not for everyone, but everyone who tried it learned a lot about themselves. Therefore, do not wait till your life responsibilities anchor you and take the plunge. You are welcome.
People to meet
We are open to anyone who is open. If you are ready to share a yacht for a week, be honest, true and enjoy yourself, join us. We immediately assume you to be a friend and ask you to do the same. We all love exploring the nature and stepping out of our comfort zone to face new experiences. Our sailing trips are about meeting that magical sort of people, Naleians.
