More than 150 boats and yachts and around 70 exhibitors filled Dockyard Creek for the show's third edition, with Grand Harbour Marina as waterfront host.
The third Malta Boat Show closed on Sunday 1st November after four days on the water at Dockyard Creek in the historic Three Cities.
Camper & Nicholsons Grand Harbour Marina was proud to serve as waterfront host for the event alongside organisers Yachting Malta and the Ministry for Sustainable Mobility.
Around 70 exhibitors displayed more than 150 boats and yachts along roughly 1.5 km of quays, from motor and sailing yachts to tenders, marine equipment and services. International boat builders took part for the first time, and the new Malta Wake Show brought watersports action to the creek.
The show has grown quickly since its relaunch in 2024, when it presented 80 boats and more than 45 exhibitors. Its second edition in 2025 almost doubled the fleet to 176 boats, with attendance doubling and visitors arriving from 28 countries, according to Yachting Malta.
Minister for Sustainable Mobility Chris Bonett noted that Maltese operators once had to travel abroad to meet international companies and investors, and that those visitors now come to Malta instead. He called the show “a success for the industry” and linked it to Malta Vision 2050 and the island’s ambition to become an international maritime centre.
Gordon Vassallo, General Manager, Grand Harbour Marina comments:
“It has been a privilege to welcome the Malta Boat Show to our waterfront. Watching Dockyard Creek fill with boats, builders and visitors from across Europe shows how far Malta’s yachting sector has come in a very short time. Grand Harbour Marina exists to bring the world’s yachts to Malta, and supporting events like this is one of the most direct ways we can do that. We congratulate Yachting Malta and every exhibitor on a fantastic show.”
For Grand Harbour Marina, hosting the show is part of a long-term commitment to Malta’s marine sector. Set beneath the bastions of Birgu, the marina sits at the heart of one of the Mediterranean’s most historic natural harbours. It offers year-round berthing for yachts and superyachts and is a popular winter base for superyachts in the central Mediterranean.
By opening its waterfront to exhibitors, brokers, builders and visitors, Grand Harbour Marina helps bring international buyers, crews and investment to Malta. It also supports the businesses of Cottonera, from yacht services and chandlers to the restaurants and residents of Birgu, Senglea and Cospicua.
