Fishing charters in Malta

Malta sits mid-channel between Sicily and North Africa on the migration route of Mediterranean bluefin, and its lampuki (dorado) season is a national institution. Every autumn, boats fish traditional palm-frond floats - kannizzati - that gather dorado offshore, a method used here for centuries.

The prime season is May-December (lampuki peak September-November). Good boats fill up well ahead of peak months, so book early and keep an eye on the forecast.
