4 Boats To Sail The Stress Away

A Mediterranean summer is never complete without a celebration of its seas. The Maltese Islands, nicknamed ‘The Pearl of the Mediterranean’, is oystered by crystal blue waters, that can be accessed from all corners of its perimeter, with the exception of Dingli Cliffs.

Seeing as though Summer 2017 seems not to be for the faint hearted, the Maltese scurry to find innovative means in which they’re able to cool off, besides the generic dehydrating air conditioning systems installed in every nook and cranny of our offices, homes, and cars. Therefore, what better way to cool off from annoyances of office life, the heat, the tedious routine, and your nagging deadlines than with a corporate boat party, kissed by a fresh ocean breeze?

Here are 4 breath-taking vessels you may book these summer months:

• A Turkish Gullet; originally built for transportation between small towns off the Turkish coast, its use quickly became widespread across the Mediterranean. These traditional boats are wooden and have distinct features that remain untarnished to stylistic development through the ages, although thousands of years have crawled by. Equipped with spacious decks, these boats can accommodate parties and large groups of up to 130 persons, in addition to full buffets and entertainment.

• Il-Luzzu; a renowned Maltese cultural icon that sails the seas in a spectrum of colours, believed to date back to the Phoenician times. The Maltese Luzzu is easy to spot from miles away. These small typically traditional vessles decorate the Maltese harbours for their unique crescent shape, and colour. Originally used as fishing boats, these outstanding boats are harboured by superstition that too dates back to Phoenician times. The eye that rests along the front-side of the boat is said to be the Eye of Osiris, or the Eye of Horus, the Phoenicians’ god of protection from evil, there to ensure your safe travels, as we assure our eye shall be on you and your day at sea.

• Sailing yachts; hiring a sailing boat for a charter round the Maltese coast is the most relaxing get-away guaranteed to relieve you from daily stresses. Usually accommodating around 10-15 persons, these types of rentals accommodate a more intimate kind of party, in a more luxurious setting. Get the most out of the blissful Mediterranean sea, and sail round your favourite quiet spots, and sit back on a sun lounger; the island life can’t get better than this.

• Catamaran; perfect for a boat party, a catamaran charter boasts of enough space for live entertainment, food and beverage stations, and a dancefloor, perfect to rock the night away on a coastal tour of the islands. Because what better way to dance the night away, than with a cocktail or two, the calming ocean breeze, and a breath-taking view of Maltese landmarks, churches, and coastal wonders?
