It will be a highlight of your stay in Malta, an island country surrounded by the sea. You can't feel it any better than living on a boat, can you? I stayed here with a friend of mine who is really into sailing so I thought it would be an interesting option for him. I myself always look for something unique and far from hotels. That's how we found Matt and Julia.
We spent a few nights on the boat and it's a lifetime experience. The yacht is situated in the marina (15 min walk down from the central square, there is also a public bus that runs till late hours and bolt). On one hand, it really feels like home - there is a fully equipped kitchen, living room with sofas and tables, every room has a private bathroom with a hot shower, plenty of storage space, a comfy bed, even carpets. On the other hand, you get a sea view through every window, a shaded outdoor eating area and sofas on the "rooftop"/upper deck - great for relaxation. If you are not an early bird it's good to consider earplugs, as life in the marina starts pretty early. I slept like a baby till 10 :)
The yacht itself is a vintage Italian boat from the 80s - beautifully designed, with a lot of wood elements. It has its charm.
Matt and Julia are great hosts, without a doubt. They will show you around and explain everything, as you can imagine living on a boat is slightly different. To me, it was a new experience and I also learned a lot. They are very respectful of your privacy and also open for afternoon chats. I felt very comfortable. They also offer breakfast, wine & beer, soft drinks for sale if you don't want to bother yourself with shopping.
For me, it's a 10/10 experience. I have a feeling that the name of the boat "Forever" relates to the fact I will remember that stay for the rest of my life.
Big thanks guys and good luck for the future,
Anna and Diogo
