BeSailor - Learn, Explore, Excel

Sailing along the Maltese coast, we’ll blend two timeless skills - sailing and fishing.
Lines trail quietly behind the boat as we move under sail, waiting for that subtle pull while learning how to read wind, trim sails, and steer with balance.

This isn’t about speed or competition — it’s about rhythm.
The rhythm of the sea, of patience, of learning to move with nature instead of against it.
You’ll discover how relaxing and rewarding fishing can be when powered only by the wind, surrounded by open horizons and calm waters far from the shore.

An Experience for those who want to slow down, learn, and reconnect with the sea in its purest form.

Discovering, learning, and practicing the basic maneuvers like tacking, jibing, man overboard (M.O.B.) drills, and adjusting the sails. Spending hours at sea to gradually reach a point where decision-making becomes automatic, and developing your senses—feeling the wind direction without instruments, spotting incoming gusts, handling waves, and much more. It's about building a kind of knowledge that only comes through time spent sailing.

You don’t need to be a scuba diver to see Malta’s hidden beauty.
With just a mask, fins, and curiosity, the sea opens a new world - clear waters, vivid reefs, and light playing over limestone bays.

We’ll set sail with open sails towards some of Malta’s most stunning spots, perfect for snorkeling and quiet discovery. Along the way, you’ll learn the rhythm of sailing, reading the wind, trimming the sails, feeling how the boat and the sea move together.

It’s an Experience that blends exploration, learning, and connection.
The surface becomes your classroom, the horizon your guide and every dive, every gust of wind, a new way to understand the sea.

Step aboard for a full-day experience on a comfortable sailing boat as we head south from Gran Harbour Marina, embracing the sea, the wind, and the wonders of the marine environment. This is more than just a boat trip—it’s a meaningful opportunity to reconnect with nature, guided by expert marine biologists actively engaged in research and conservation in Maltese waters.

A key highlight of the day is our Marine Life Spotting session, with a focus on observing bottlenose dolphins. While sightings cannot be guaranteed, if dolphins are encountered, guests will have the unique opportunity to contribute directly to ongoing scientific research. Photographs will be taken for photo-identification, an essential method for studying local dolphin populations.

By participating, guests become active contributors to marine conservation, helping increase our collective knowledge of these protected species and their habitat.

You’ll also enjoy moments of leisure, with time for swimming and snorkelling in safe, designated areas, and plenty of time to unwind on deck with traditional local refreshments.

Programme Highlights:

Departure: 08:30 AM from Gran Harbour Marina

Marine Life Spotting: Focused on dolphin observation and biodiversity (sightings not guaranteed)

Conservation in Action: Contribute to real research through dolphin photo-identification

14-day sailing expedition across the Central and South Mediterranean.

Starting and ending in Gozo, this offshore loop connects the Pelagie Islands, Pantelleria, and the south coast of Sicily. This is not a classic charter holiday. It is a multi-day sailing expedition built around real navigation, shared life on board, and exploration at sea. Plans are shaped by weather and sea state, not by a fixed tour schedule.

The route combines daylight sailing with longer offshore crossings, plus coastal navigation around volcanic islands and sparsely populated areas. Stops at anchor or in port are planned when conditions allow, leaving space for swimming, fishing, rest, and time ashore to explore local landscapes and communities. Depending on conditions, the Sicily leg may include towns and stretches such as Sciacca, Licata, and nearby coastal areas.

Offshore passages take place in waters known for rich marine ecosystems. Encounters with dolphins or sea turtles are possible, but never guaranteed and depend entirely on natural conditions.

Life on board follows the rhythm of the sea. Days are shaped by route choices discussed during daily briefings with the skipper and crew. Guests are welcome to take part in onboard routines and navigation activities according to their skills and interests, within a safe and supportive environment.

Key points

• 14-day Gozo to Gozo loop across Pelagie, Pantelleria and South Sicily

• Offshore passages plus flexible stops based on conditions, not a fixed tour

• Shared life on board with optional participation in sailing and navigation

7-day sailing expedition across the Sicily Channel

Starting and ending in Gozo, this offshore loop focuses on the Pelagie Islands and connects Linosa, Lampedusa, and the remote rock of Lampione. This is not a classic charter holiday. It is a multi-day sailing expedition built around real navigation, shared life on board, and exploration at sea. Plans are shaped by weather and sea state, not by a fixed tour schedule.

The route begins with a long first crossing from Gozo to Linosa, followed by a day of coastal sailing around Linosa’s volcanic shoreline and small bays. The loop then continues with an offshore passage to Lampedusa, where days are dedicated to coastal navigation on both the east and west sides. Stops are planned for swimming and lunch in clear-water coves, with time ashore in the evenings to enjoy the town and local food culture when conditions allow.

A dedicated day sail reaches Lampione, an uninhabited rock in the open sea, for a remote swim and snorkelling stop over clear seabed. The final stage completes the loop with the offshore passage back to Gozo.
