Boatcare Trading Ltd has established its credentials as one of the top yachting companies on the Maltese islands over its years of operation. It has achieved this through close attention to the needs of its clients, ensuring a quality service delivered within agreed timeframes.
The company was established under the name Yachtcare in the early 1990s. What started as a relatively small operation providing services to yachts berthed in the newly opened Portomaso Marina, proudly set-up and run to the highest of standards, quickly grew under the leadership of its founders, David and Kenneth Azzopardi who are experienced boating and yachting enthusiasts themselves. The range of services grew to the comprehensive selection it is today, and the company's reputation quickly began to acquire customers beyond Portomaso Marina.
In 2006, recognizing the development the company had undergone, it undertook a rebranding exercise and changed its name to Boatcare Trading Ltd. By early 2008, Boatcare recognized the need for a presence at the Ta’ Xbiex marina as well, opening a second outlet just meters away from the pontoons.
Boatcare now offers the full range of services the yachting community demands, from boat maintenance and guardianage, all the way to repairs on the water or on the hard, overhauls and refits, yacht agency services, and yacht deliveries. Boatcare is the Malta repesentative for Douglas Marine’s mooring springs, the Blue Navy / Italia Marine range of high quality boat cleaning products, and the In Mare range of marina products.
Boatcare offers a yacht brokerage service to people buying or selling pre-owned (second hand) yachts, as well as new boats. Boatcare Trading has introduced in Malta brands such as Elan Powerboats and Hunter Yachts, and has recently become a sub-dealer for Azimut-Benetti Yachts.
To complement the brokerage and new boat sales service, Boatcare also provides an efficient yacht charter service. Besides offering the best yacht charter opportunities to clients who just require a boat for a short period of time, we also prepare, equip and manage boats for charters to enable yacht owners to get a return on their investment.
All of Boatcare’s services are offered to clients in any of the marinas in Malta, through its two bases, at Portomaso marina and at Ta’ Xbiex marina. Whatever the need, Boatcare is there, right at the hub of the Maltese yachting industry and always ready to assist you in all your yachting needs!

Serbia and Bosnia shut schools and struggled to continue public transport and rubbish collections, as authorities focused on trying to help thousands trapped in remote mountain villages. People across the continent were continuing to dig out from heavy snow after a week of bitter cold in which the death toll, mostly homeless people, continues to rise into the hundreds. Temperatures have fallen as low as minus 36 Celsius in Ukraine, the hardest-hit country. The big freeze has caused traffic chaos throughout Europe, blocking roads, and shutting down airports.
