Welcome to Fishing Charters Malta, your independent guide to discovering the best fishing experiences in Malta. Situated at the crossroads of the Mediterranean, Malta offers exceptional deep sea and inshore fishing opportunities throughout the year. From powerful Bluefin Tuna and elusive Swordfish to colourful Mahi-Mahi and hard-fighting Amberjack, the waters surrounding Malta are home to an extraordinary variety of game fish.
Malta's central position in the Mediterranean means dramatic underwater drop-offs, warm water currents, and migratory routes pass within striking distance of shore. Anglers benefit from relatively short boat rides to deep water, a long fishing season stretching from spring through autumn, and a range of techniques from trolling and jigging to bottom fishing and live baiting. Whether you are an experienced angler chasing your personal best or a family looking for a memorable day on the water, Malta has the right trip for you.
Understanding when to visit Malta for fishing is essential for planning the perfect trip. Bluefin Tuna season peaks from May to November, with the largest fish appearing in late summer. Swordfish are targeted on night drifts during the warmer months. Mahi-Mahi arrive in force during autumn, while Amberjack and bottom species like Dentex and Grouper provide excellent sport year-round over Malta's deep reefs and rocky structure.
This year, two of Malta's most respected fishing charter operations — Big Game Adventures and Hooked Malta — have joined forces to share fishing intelligence and local knowledge. This collaboration means shared reports on where the catch is hot, what techniques are producing results, and real-time updates on sea conditions. The result is better success rates and more informed trips for visiting anglers.
