SailChecker Expert View
Perfect for families The Oceanis 48 is a proven cruiser that sleeps up to 12, making it ideal for multi-family groups or larger sailing parties looking to share costs. The five-cabin layout offers real privacy compared to smaller yachts, which matters when you're at sea for a week.
Well-equipped cruiser You get solid essentials here, autopilot and chart plotter take the stress out of longer passages, while the bimini and sprayhood make tropical sailing genuinely comfortable. The holding tank is a genuine convenience on extended cruises, something you'll appreciate more than it sounds.
Solid value proposition At €5,490 per week split among 8, 12 people, you're looking at genuinely affordable per-person sailing, especially from Malta's position as a gateway to Greece and North Africa. The modest €4,000 deposit is refreshingly reasonable for a boat this size.
One realistic note The Oceanis 48 is roomy but not cutting-edge, she's a 2016 design that prioritizes comfort and space over performance. If your group includes keen racers or you're hoping for a boutique-hotel experience, you might find her a touch workmanlike; she's fundamentally a practical family vessel.

The marina & destination
Based at Kalkara Marina, in Kalkara, Malta. Wayward Prince is operated by Malta Charters.
Kalkara Wharf
Kalkara Marina sits in the Grand Harbour area of Valletta, offering immediate access to Malta's central cruising grounds and the sister islands of Gozo and Comino, all reachable within a day's sail. Week 1 typically involves exploring the sheltered anchorages around Comino, the northwest coast toward Mellieha Bay, and day trips to Gozo's harbours at Mgarr or Xlendi, with consistent northwesterly winds providing reliable sailing. The marina's position in one of the Mediterranean's finest natural harbours means you can clear customs and provisioning on arrival before heading out, minimising admin before your holiday begins.
