Maltese Falcon Yacht Charter

The Maltese Falcon stands as one of the most iconic superyachts ever built, combining revolutionary sailing technology with unparalleled luxury. This magnificent sailing yacht represents the pinnacle of yacht design and engineering, offering an extraordinary charter experience for discerning guests seeking the finest superyacht available.

Built by Perini Navi in collaboration with Dykstra Naval Architects, the Maltese Falcon redefined what was possible in sailing yacht construction. At 88 meters (289 feet), this award winning vessel features a revolutionary sailing system known as the Falcon rig, which deploys fifteen sails across three carbon fiber masts in a spectacular display of maritime engineering.
