About Canaima

A boutique yacht stay in Malta’s Grand Harbour

Canaima is a classic motor yacht transformed into a unique holiday stay in Grand Harbour Marina, Birgu — one of Malta’s most atmospheric waterfront locations.

After an extensive refurbishment, Canaima now offers the charm of staying aboard a real yacht with the comfort expected from a modern boutique stay. Guests can enjoy air conditioning throughout, Wi-Fi, TV, USB charging points, refreshed interiors, a kitchen, comfortable indoor and outdoor seating areas, and space for up to 5 overnight guests.

Canaima is designed for travellers who want something more memorable than a standard hotel room or apartment. Wake up on the water, enjoy the marina atmosphere, and step directly into the historic streets, restaurants, cafés, and waterfront views of Birgu.
