The Marina

Yacht Marina History

Gardens yacht Marina is Malta’s first Ever yacht marina located in ta’ Xbiex which was originally built in 1962 by British and Maltese engineers. Due to its safe location deep inside Lazaretto creek in Marxamxetto Harbour, it was the obvious location for a yacht marina.

The yacht Marina soon became synonymous within the Mediterranean as a safe haven and prime yachting destination which has served many famous local and foreign yachtsmen over the years, setting the stage for the area surrounding the marina as Malta’s main yachting centre.

Fast Forward to 2021

After 60 years the Marina was due a much-needed refurbishment, which will be undertaken by the new owners who will be undertaking the mammoth task of renovating and transforming the marina into a first-class, state-of-the-art yacht marina.

The project is already underway to include construction of a new quay to cater for superyachts up to 50 mts, a series of top of the range pontoons with utility services to match. A new promenade will be incorporated into the design linking the Sliema Ferries to the Ta’ Xbiex Seafront as well as reorganisation of the parking and rehabilitating the adjacent gardens into a family park to tie up the whole project together.
