Aquatica Fishing Charters runs fishing trips out of Malta. If you want to get top predators of the Mediterranean or fish for bottom table fare around the reefs and ledges, this crew of local fishermen has exactly that. All it takes is to come along and the skippers will make sure you have all the gear you need and will take you where the fish are.

Your vessel for the day is a 33’ Targa boat that is powered by a 250 HP Volvo Penta engine. The boat is big enough to let up to eight anglers hop on and sample these fisheries with enough elbow room. The vessel is equipped with GPS, a fishfinder, has a all the safety gear, features a toilet, and carries a selection of rods, reels, and tackle. There is an ice box onboard where you can store the fish.

Trips with Aquatica run year round and will see you fishing near the reefs and far offshore. The distance you travel will depend on the fish you want to catch, the weather, and the type of trip. If you’re after Dorado and Albacore that you’ll need to travel about 10-20 miles to get them, but some days will bring the fish much closer to the shore. Or, you can even head to the other side of the island for maximum results.

You will be trolling and bottom fishing. Dead bait is readily available before the trip, but sometimes you might catch live fresh bait during the trip to have the best chances of landing a trophy size predator. Skippers Chris and Daryl will take a good care of you and your party. They know these waters extremely well and will make sure you have superb fishing.

As for the trip, wear non-slip rubber sole shoes. As weather can change, it’s best to bring a jacket and a long pair of trousers, and dress in layers. Make sure to bring sunglasses, a hat, and sunscreen. Pack a camera as you’ll want to get a good angle of your catch. All fuel, permit, skipper fees, fishing tackle, bait, drinks are included in the trip prices.

Get your fishing buddies and come along for top-class fishing in these waters!

All-in-one experience

4HR Fun Reef Fishing Tour (Private) on December 28, 2025 • 6 adults

We met with our wonderful captain Daryl Borg Cardona at his ship 20 Minutes earlier as discussed and he was already ready for the trip. We had a nice weather with slow wind (5km/h) but relatively large waves around 1m which we had to used to. (If you are not experienced with constantly moving boat, take some pills to avoid the uncomfortable suprise surface feeding). We booked a 6 person Private package and he fulfilled all our wishes. Explaned about the different fishing techniques from which we tested 2 of them. First we caught 2 jumpfin tune with trolling then we stop at a reef and caught plenty of pearly razorfish with calamari baits. He helped for the less experienced family members to set up the baits and unhook the caught fish. He also prepared the fish for cooking if you wish to taste your catch afterwards. I could spend much more time with him on his very well equipped boat (radar system, position holding electric motor, onboard toilet etc.) We were back at the harbour with big smile with our faces. One bucketlist (fishing on the sea with my fater) was accomplished! I can just recommend this trip.

The best boat in Malta

5HR Deluxe Combo Tour (Private) on October 16, 2025 • 2 adults

We fish a lot, so I don't say this lightly when I tell you that you dont need to look anywhere else for a fishing charter in Malta. Captain Daryl is the best. He works hard to put you on the fish, has a ton of experience and was just great talking about fishing all day with him. He has a top notch Grady White boat with top electronics and a spot lock motor. His tackle is all top tier and we had a great day on the water. We booked last minute, and got back to me right away about availability. Boat and dock super easy to find. Combo trip was the way to go, as we looked for the bigger pelagics then transitioned to some really good size black bream, and finally some bottom fish before going back to trolling again. Great day, perfect weather, excellent captain. I brought my 7 year old son with me who keeps asking when are we going back again.

Amazing 5hr trip - everyone caught something

5HR Deluxe Combo Tour (Private) on August 26, 2025 • 6 adults

Daryl was brilliant from start to finish. We were an inexperienced group and he made a great effort to explain what he was doing and why he was doing it, such as choosing the spot, and which lines we were using to target which species. We had a fighter get away from us, but then went to a reef and did some spinning and caught loads of little fish, like trigger fish, razer fish and seabream. He helped each of us get the technique right, and by the end we walked away with a bag full enough for dinner. We would absolutely love to go out again with Daryl - so hope to return to Malta soon! Highly recommend :)

Wonderful trip! Highly recommend!

4HR Fun Reef Fishing Tour (Private) on July 29, 2025 • 2 adults • 2 children

Our guide was excellent in communicating via the FishingBooker app and was flexible on timing for our adventure. He was kind, patient and knowledgable and we caught over 20 small fish. We had two kids with us (age 9 and 11) and he ensured that they caught several and was very conscious of safety and fun. The area itself just gorgeous and the boat and equipment were all well kept and nice! We had a fantastic time and I would highly recommend this to anyone! Getting to the pier from the cruise ship dock was challenging as the long line of taxi's off the ship only wanted to offer tours so this was an unexpected stressor. The walk to the pier is lovely but takes ~45 minutes. I would advise a bit more pre-planning than I did on this if you are a cruise passenger! Certainly not anything to do with the wonderful fishing adventure but a smooth transfer from ship to pier will hopefully enhance your experience.
