With beautiful sunshine, ample sea breezes and calm blue waters, Malta is an ideal location for watersports and water fun.

Boat hire and yacht charters are a great way to explore the rocky Maltese coastline with its hidden caves and excluded coves.

Diving and snorkelling are popular pastimes on the Maltese islands with plenty of marine life and shipwrecks to discover.

Jet skis, canoes and paddle boats can be rented on some beaches. For the more adventurous, wind-surfing, water-skiing, knee boarding and wake boarding are also available, with many places offering lessons for beginners.

With so many water sport activities to choose from, it's always better to get advice on the ground when you're already in Malta. Your hotel or tourist information centres will be able to advise you on all of the water sport centres in your area. Some hotels provide water sport activities for their guests to enjoy too.
