Fiat Boat Malta: Everything You Need to Know Before You Book

The Fiat 500 boat is one of the most talked-about experiences on the water in South Malta. If you have seen it and are thinking about booking, here is everything worth knowing before you do.

What Exactly Is the Fiat Boat?

It is a watercraft modelled on the iconic Fiat 500 car. Same silhouette, same instantly recognisable shape, but built to move across water rather than road. It is operated by Sips Water Sports from St. Thomas Bay in Marsaskala and is not available anywhere else in Malta.

It is a proper boat, not a novelty float. It handles the waters around South Malta comfortably and is used for guided coastal tours along one of the most scenic stretches of coastline on the island.

What Does the Experience Actually Involve?

The Fiat 500 boat is used for exclusive sea tours along the southern Maltese coastline. You head out from St. Thomas Bay and follow the coast, taking in cliffs, coves, and views that are simply not accessible from land. The tour is relaxed in pace and focused on the experience of being out on the water in something genuinely unique.

It works well as a standalone activity or as part of a broader day at the bay combined with other Sips Water Sports activities.

How Many People Can It Take?

The Fiat boat is suited to small groups. It is a particularly good option for couples or a small group of friends who want a shared experience that is a bit out of the ordinary. Check with the team when booking to confirm capacity for your group.

Do You Need Any Experience?

No. You are not driving the boat yourself. The tour is guided, which means you sit back and enjoy the ride while the Sips team handles everything. There is nothing technical required from you at all.

When Is the Best Time to Go?

The golden hour before sunset is the standout option for the Fiat 500 boat. The light on the water at that time of day, combined with the cliffs and the coastline, makes for a genuinely impressive experience. Morning departures are also excellent if you want the calmest sea conditions.

The boat is available seasonally. It is worth booking in advance during the summer months as it is one of the more in-demand experiences at Sips.

Why Is It Worth It?

There are plenty of boat trips available in Malta. The Fiat 500 boat is different not because it goes faster or covers more ground, but because there is simply nothing else like it. The novelty of the design is a genuine part of the experience, and the reactions it gets from other people on the water are a bonus.

It is the kind of activity that people remember from a holiday long after the standard beach days have blurred together.
