A boutique yacht with a “private floating suite” feeling

Canaima is a classic motor yacht transformed into a comfortable holiday stay in one of Malta’s most atmospheric waterfront locations. Berthed at Grand Harbour Marina in Birgu, the yacht offers the charm of life on the water with the comfort of a modern short-let.

After an extensive 1.5-year refurbishment, Canaima now welcomes guests with air conditioning throughout, internet, TV, USB chargers, UV-protected windows, refreshed interiors, and multiple spaces to relax inside and outside. Whether you are visiting Malta as a couple, a small group of friends, or a family, Canaima gives you something a hotel room cannot: your own floating base in the heart of the Grand Harbour.

Guest reviews

We had such a fun and different way to spend a b-day weekend with friends. The yacht was super clean, comfy and cozy, and had everything we needed. The host even surprised us with some chilled drinks in the fridge. Birgu is beautiful and everything is within walking distance. We really enjoyed it and would definitely do it again!

About the yacht

Good to know

Does the yacht leave the marina during the stay?

No, the standard stay is for accommodation aboard Canaima while she is berthed at Grand Harbour Marina. Boat trips with another yacht are available separately on request.

How many people can sleep on Canaima?

Up to 5 guests in three cabins on the lower deck: two double cabins with single beds and one single cabin.

What time is check-in and check-out?

Check-in is from 4pm and check-out by 11am. Early check-in or late check-out may be possible on request.

Is staying on a yacht different from an apartment?

Yes. Canaima is comfortable and modernised, but it is still a yacht: expect steps, compact spaces, marine toilets, movement on the water, and normal marina activity.
