The Maltese Falcon Yacht

The Maltese Falcon is considered the Sistine Chapel of the yachting fraternity due to its immense size and beauty.

Designed by Perini Navi and Gerard Dijkstra & Partners, this colossal vessel sails the seven seas like a hot knife through butter. How fast is a hot knife through butter, you ask? Well, at top speed the Maltese Falcon boasts up to 19.5 knots per hour.

The sheer magnitude of the Maltese Falcon makes it a testament to yacht engineering and nautical navigation as it reflects the wonders of the seven seas in extent and power.

This famous clipper, which measures in at almost 90 meters, shares its name with the detective series from the 1930s and is one of the biggest privately owned sailing boats in the world.

Captain and Crew The Maltese Falcon is manned by a company of experienced men and women. From the first mate to the restaurant host, this floating hotel is tailored to suit the most lavish of palates.

Onboard Intelligence Crew aside, there's plenty of intelligence on the boat. This is no ordinary single-hulled yacht. The power, size and, let's face it, attitude of the vessel demand the need for state of the art artificial intelligence.

Specialised software on a unique computer system monitors the conditions, controls the equipment, keeps the crew pointing in the right direction and ensures overall smooth sailing - but no process of the vessel is fully automated. Nothing beats the keen eye of a seasoned Captain and crew in journeying across the seven seas.

Chartering the Maltese Falcon By chartering a yacht you get all the freedoms of the open sea by cutting out all the guess work and without having to go through the ordeal of purchasing a yacht and plotting your trip.

Simply name your highlights and let the professionals handle the rest of the process. From international legal issues to hiring the bar staff, there is no simpler way of getting from A to B in the lap of nautical luxury.
