Top 7 Things to Do in Malta by the Sea

Malta is known for its rich history, picturesque villages, and of course, its incredible coastline. If you're heading to Malta and want to experience the island from the water, we've got you covered. Here are seven amazing sea-based activities to enjoy during your time on the island:

1. Go Jet Skiing in South Malta

Jet skiing is one of the most popular water activities in Malta, especially around the quieter bays in the south. It's perfect for couples, friends, or solo travellers who want a bit of a thrill while enjoying the sea breeze.

2. Try Paddleboarding at Sunrise

There’s something truly peaceful about paddleboarding as the sun comes up. The calm water and warm light make for the perfect start to your day. Marsaskala Bay is ideal for this early-morning experience.

3. Take a Boat Trip Along the Coast

While Sips Water Sports focuses on more active experiences, we always recommend a relaxed boat trip at some point during your visit. Exploring the island from the sea gives you a fresh perspective on its natural beauty.

4. Go Snorkelling in Hidden Coves

Malta’s waters are incredibly clear, making snorkelling a must-do activity. Ask our team about the best snorkelling spots in South Malta where you can see fish, rock formations, and maybe even some octopuses. One of our top picks is St. Peter’s Pool – a natural swimming spot perfect for a snorkelling adventure.

5. Try a Crazy Sofa Ride

Looking for a laugh? Our crazy sofa rides are fast, fun, and perfect for groups. Whether you're with family or friends, it’s always a hit.

6. Watch the Sunset from the Shoreline

Not everything has to be high-energy. Grab a drink and sit by the water as the sun sets over Marsaskala. It’s a simple, beautiful way to end your day.

7. Swim in Natural Bays

There are countless swimming spots across the south of Malta, many of them tucked away from the crowds. The Sips team can suggest local favourites that are perfect for a refreshing dip — including the iconic St. Peter’s Pool.
