Malta Has a Fiat 500 That Drives on Water. Here Is Where to Find It.
If you have scrolled past a video of a Fiat 500 cruising across clear blue water and assumed it was edited or staged, it was not. The Fiat 500 boat is real, it is in Malta, and it is available to ride. Here is the full story.
What Is the Fiat 500 Boat?
The Fiat 500 boat is exactly what it sounds like. A watercraft designed and built to look like the iconic Fiat 500 car, scaled up and fitted out to float and move across the sea. It is not a replica in the cheap souvenir sense. It is a proper, functioning boat that draws on the same instantly recognisable design as one of the most famous cars ever made.
Nobody who sees it on the water for the first time has a neutral reaction. It is the kind of thing that makes people stop, look twice, and reach for their phone.
Where Can You Find It in Malta?
The Fiat 500 boat is operated exclusively by Sips Water Sports, based at St. Thomas Bay in Marsaskala on the south coast of Malta. It is not available anywhere else on the island, which makes it genuinely unique. If you want to ride it, Marsaskala is where you need to be.
What Can You Do on It?
The Fiat 500 boat is used for exclusive coastal tours along the southern coastline of Malta. You get out on the water, take in the scenery, and do it in one of the most distinctive boats in the Mediterranean. The tour covers some of the most scenic stretches of the south, including the cliffs and coves that are only visible from the sea.
It is not a speed experience. This one is about the novelty, the views, and the kind of memory that is difficult to replicate on a standard boat trip.
Who Is It For?
Anyone who wants something genuinely different. The Fiat 500 boat is popular with couples and small groups of friends who want a story to tell when they get home. It photographs exceptionally well, which does not hurt.
It also works well for people who want to be out on the water without an adrenaline activity. The pace is relaxed and the focus is on the experience and the scenery rather than the speed.
Is There Anything Else Like It in Malta?
No. This is the only Fiat 500 boat operating on the island. That alone makes it worth knowing about if you are spending any time in the south of Malta.
