Generally a Sailing yacht is considered to be a recreational type of boat. These crafts are defined as a light, fast sailing vessel used mainly to have a relaxed trip or a weekend break to get away from all the daily confusion of life.
Yachts are different from other boats mainly by their leisure purpose, and it was not until the rise of the steamboat and other types of powerboat that sailing vessels in general came to be perceived as luxury, or recreational vessels. The popularity of chartering a Sailing Yacht on the Maltese Islands has widely grown over the past years for their affordable prices and great experiences.
The sizes available from the Maltese Islands generally range from 38 feet (12 m) up to 60 feet (18 m).
