Regulations

Customs Clearance in Malta

To comply with local regulations in Malta, visitors on yachts arriving from other countries in the European Union need to complete the form supplied by the Capitainerie with vessel registration details and a crew list.

Yachts arriving from outside the EU will need to clear through Malta’s Customs and Immigration - officials will usually visit the yacht at Grand Harbour Marina to complete this.

If any passengers or crew will be leaving the yacht in Malta and departing the island by another means, they should have their passport stamped by Immigration on arrival.

The regulations state that all visitors to Grand Harbour Marina will need to fill in a Berthing Licence at the Capitainerie, and yachts must be covered by third party insurance.

Customs and Immigration formalities are administered at the nearby Capitainerie, and our marina staff enjoy close liaison with the Malta Maritime Authority.

Pilotage

On approaching Grand Harbour, the breakwater - with St Elmo lighthouse on its eastern end - is easy to identify.  Leaving this to starboard, and the short breakwater off Fort Ricasoli to port, the impressive Fort St Angelo is then rounded to port to enter the final approach channel, marked with small red and green buoys.

Due to the volume of commercial traffic in certain areas of Grand Harbour, yachts should contact Valletta Port Control on channel 12 when twelve miles out.  It is likely yachts will be asked to call again 1 mile from the entrance, to request permission to enter.

Contact Grand Harbour Marina on channel 13 for berthing instructions or to book your berth.

  • Accessible day or night in all weather conditions
  • 24 hour berthing assistance from trained staff
  • Maximum LOA 130m alongside (100m stern-to) and draft to 10m
  • Customs and Immigration clearance available in Grand Harbour
