With plenty of onboard entertainment, sail yacht Maltese Falcon is an exceptional yacht charter choice

One of the most iconic superyachts on the water, the 88m/289ft sailing yacht ‘Maltese Falcon’ turns heads wherever she cruises thanks to her three, DynaRig-designed 190' (58m) masts. Delivered from sailing yacht experts Perini Navi in 2006, the multi-award-winning Maltese Falcon features interior and exterior design from Ken Freivokh and is maintained to an exacting standard with regular refits and upgrades.

Cutting a truly distinctive profile thanks to her revolutionary DynaRig masts, the Maltese Falcon is one of the most universally recognizable sailing yachts in the world. She has received critical acclaim from the yachting industry and global media attention that has led to a total of 10 prestigious awards. She has a glowing reputation as a charter yacht as well, with guests praising her attentive crew, refreshing interiors and continuous connection between indoor and outdoor spaces. 

Exterior Design

Styling the exterior as well as designing the interior, the world-renowned Ken Freivokh has ensured that the spaces are not only stylish, but highly functional. Indeed, beneath her commanding sails the Maltese Falcon offers a collection of dedicated living spaces which all exude a gentle and inviting calm. Creating a number of areas which merge seamlessly with the interior, Ken Freivokh provides guests with options when it comes to enjoy the sun-drenched cruising grounds of Maltese Falcon. With numerous tables and seating arrangements on hand from bow to stern, there’s flexibility for both formal and informal occasions. Perhaps the most impressive feature of the exterior, however, is the projector screen positioned behind the lower sail which doubles up as a screen to allow guests to enjoy a movie night under the stars. As if the idea of an luxury outdoor cinema wasn’t appealing enough, it is the largest of its kind to be found on any superyacht.

Interior Design

The interior of superyacht Maltese Falcon is every bit as impressive as the exterior, with a range of colourful finishings making it truly unique. Balancing contemporary artwork from the Owner’s own collection with more traditionally inspired furnishings, both the communal and guest spaces composed of high quality leather, wood, steel, and glass. The layout balances with form and function like just about every other aspect of the yacht, with an atrium amidships uniting the accommodation on the lower deck and the lobby found on the bridge deck. Complete with a dedicated reading room, full-beam dining room, and a highly spacious main salon, it’s clear that every need of those on board has been comfortably anticipated. Flanked by numerous windows and benefitting from skylights, the amount of natural light which spills into Maltese Falcon is certainly worthy of note.

Guest Accommodation

Comprised of a single master cabin, a VIP suite, and four doubles, the accommodation on board Maltese Falcon provides appropriately beautiful spaces for guests to retire to following a day on the water. Situated on the lower deck, the full-beam master cabin includes two walk in wardrobes, his and hers bathrooms, and Californian king-sized bed. With a massive and warm canvas by Squeak Carnwath occupying the wall, charterers are sure to feel well-rested when waking up in this private sanctuary. Up on the bridge deck, the VIP cabin is furnished with additional easy chairs and enjoys a private terrace which can be accessed via a large sliding door towards the aft. The remaining doubles are found on the lower deck, and, despite their size, are complete with all the entertainment options found in the master and VIP cabin.

Onboard Comfort & Entertainment

Besides being able to catch the latest Hollywood blockbuster on one of her massive sails, Maltese Falcon keeps her guests entertained with a wealth of leisure facilities ranging from a dedicated reading room to a fully-equipped gymnasium. Meals are also enjoyed in the most luxurious of surroundings, with both the formal and alfresco spaces enjoying plenty of beautiful furnishings and artwork. For those who prefer their entertainment to take place on the water, a collection of water toys and tenders- not to mention scuba diving gear and a bespoke inflatable slide- are sure to get everyone’s pulse racing for hours on end. For charterers who enjoy rounding their days off in style, a generously proportioned Jacuzzi which looks out on the movie screen is just the thing.

Special Features

Boasting a wholly outstanding performance, the Maltese Falcon definitely stands out for her ability to make timely passages whilst delivering a thrill to all of those on board. Similarly, her outdoor cinema is the perfect thing for those after some engaging nighttime entertainment whilst enjoying a few drinks.

Performance & Range

Maltese Falcon is built with a steel hull and aluminium superstructure. Powered by twin Deutz engines, she comfortably cruises at 12 knots, reaches a maximum speed of 19 knots with a range of up to 4,600 nautical miles from her 81,300 litre fuel tanks at 14 knots.

When not cruising Maltese Falcon has onboard an incredible selection of water toys and accessories for you and your guests to connect with the waters around you. Principle among these are towable toys offering fun and adventure. In addition there are waterskis that are hugely entertaining whether you are a beginner or a seasoned pro. Another excellent feature are four SEABOBs, that allow you to skim along the surface or steer under the crystal water and see a variety of aquatic sea life. If that isn't enough Maltese Falcon also features wakeboards, kayaks, WindSurfers, scuba diving equipment, inflatable water toys. Maltese Falcon features two tenders, but leading the pack is a 10m/32'10" Pascoe Tender to transport you in style.

Why Charter Maltese Falcon

The Maltese Falcon: A Timeless Icon of the Yacht Industry

This 288-ft motor sailing yacht commands attention wherever she goes.

By Ellie Brade

Maltese Falcon yacht

One of the world’s largest sailing boats, the iconic  Maltese Falcon  yacht is something of a modern day pirate ship. Commanding attention – and awe –wherever she goes, the 288 ft motor sailing yacht has been described as the world’s most photographed yacht, a testament to the blend of sailing yacht high performance and motor yacht luxurious comfort courtesy of its shipyard, Perini Navi.

When the  Maltese Falcon  – the brainchild of the late Tom Perkins, her first owner – launched in 1990, it had been six years in the making. After a staggering amount of research, development, design work and innovation, the  Maltese Falcon  remains a bastion of the industry nearly over three decades later.

Upon first debut, it was clear she was one of the most significant yachts of the past century. Pushing all the capabilities of superyacht design, the  Maltese Falcon  transformed the world of superyachts forever.

Construction

Construction work was undertaken at Perini Navi’s Turkish facility in Tuzla, with the core project team made up of Perkins, naval architect Gerard Dijkstra of Dykstra Naval Architects (DNA) and Ken Freivokh of Ken Freivokh Design , who designed the interior and exterior. The yacht began life as the steel hull of an abandoned yacht project before being identified as a suitable platform for Maltese Falcon . This was the third time that Perkins had built a yacht with Perini Navi, but it would be his biggest and boldest build by far.

One of the Maltese Falcon ’s most distinctive traits is her masts and sails, and the design for the entire yacht was centered around them. Powered by square-sailed “Dynarig” technology, which was suggested and developed for the yacht by Dijkstra, she features three carbon fiber masts with a computer-run sail and mast control system that allows push button sailing.

In a nutshell, her huge 25,791-sq-ft sail area is spread out over 15 sails – five for each mast – that are fixed to the mast’s curved yards and set and furled using an electrical control system. The freestanding masts are then rotated as desired to adjust the sails.

This complex, yet extremely simple, system makes sailing the Maltese Falcon almost effortless for sailors of all skillsets – it takes just six minutes to set the sails and only 90 seconds to tack the yacht. The entire system can be run by just one person.

In addition to its reliability and ease of use, the Dynarig system allows the yacht to sail fast and efficiently, delivering significant economic and environmental savings.

Her ease of use means she regularly travels under sail, vastly reducing her reliance on and consumption of fuel. She doesn’t shirk on performance either. Able to reach top speeds of 18 knots, the Maltese Falcon has more than proved herself out on the water, having won many sailing regattas including The Superyacht Cup 2010 and the Perini Cup several times.

[See also: How Millennials are Changing the Superyacht Industry]

Freivokh describes the design of the yacht as being “form follows function,” while still upholding essential design principles, balanced proportions, and uncluttered and purposeful shapes. For the interior, Freivokh created an elegant aesthetic with an industrial edge. This effect was achieved using a combination of materials including walnut, Macassar ebony, glass, leather, carbon fiber and aluminum, complemented by beautiful artworks and sculptures.

The Maltese Falcon accommodates 12 guests in six cabins – the full beam master is positioned on the lower deck, with highlights including a full width dressing room and a private gym. The equally impressive VIP suite is located on the upper deck with direct access to the bridge and its own deck space. Four large doubles, all with ensuites, complete the picture.

The Maltese Falcon is a very social yacht that is well suited to entertaining. Her spacious layout allows for six different dining and entertainment spaces. The main deck is the focal point for guests to gather and enjoy. The large main saloon leads directly out to a circular bar that includes a full formal dining table – picture world-class dining under the stars.

The Maltese Falcon bedroom interior

“The circular bar on the main deck aft is a focal point that seamlessly integrates the interior with the exterior deck spaces,” says Chloe Riley, the Maltese Falcon ’s charter broker at SuperYachtsMonaco.

Inside are two lounges and another formal dining set up, with the dining area bearing Japanese influences. The main deck is also home to a cards and games room, and modern office facilities that make it easy to work on board. All the key spaces are linked by a striking central staircase.

The exterior spaces are home to some of the Maltese Falcon ’s most popular features. The central bar has played host to a wide variety of events and parties in its time. When it’s time to stop partying, there are plenty of options to sunbathe, dine or relax. Jacuzzis can be found inside and out, and recent additions to the yacht include a new spa facility with a hair salon and massage room (a qualified beauty and massage therapist sits among the 19-strong crew).

There are numerous private spaces to escape to and enjoy the experience of life on the water. “The seating area on the bridge deck forward is a lovely spot that gives a unique viewpoint when sailing,” says Riley. “But most memorable of all the features is the huge outdoor cinema set up on the upper deck, with movies able to be projected onto one of the yacht’s sails for the ultimate cinema session.”

Chartering Maltese Falcon

Over the years her travels have taken her all over the world, clocking close to 200,000 nm with a decent proportion under sail. “She is versatile with location and can be chartered anywhere in the world, although Greece is now the Maltese Falcon ’s home,” says Riley.

Plenty of thought has been put into her charter offering, which gives a thrilling taste of all the ingredients that make superyachts so exciting including speed, high luxury and gourmet delights. As a charter favorite, it is no surprise that the Maltese Falcon also carries a rich selection of toys and tenders, and she has been set up to appeal to every kind of guest.

“Guests of the Maltese Falcon can enjoy the exhilarating performance of race sailing with seven-star luxury and comfort,” says Riley. “With all the best elements of motor and sailing yachts, she really is the best of both worlds.”

Maltese Falcon exterior

The Maltese Falcon is a yacht that needs to be seen to be believed, and once seen will not be forgotten. Its late creator, Perkins, summed it up beautifully when he opined: “It is not a modest thing to say, but my creation remains an unrivaled masterpiece.”

The Maltese Falcon is available for charter with SuperYachtsMonaco from €460,000-€520,000 ($500,000-$565,000) per week + expenses. Contact Chloe Riley, [email protected] , superyachtsmonaco.com

Cinema – Located on the main deck it’s intricate décor and cosy atmosphere makes it ideal for indoor movie nights. Formal dining – Located on the main deck, the dining lounge exudes elegance and can be exquisitely presented to create the perfect setting for an indulgent dining experience. Upper deck dining – Aft on the upper deck is a large area suited for a cooler dining experience on a hot summers day. You and your guests can enjoy a buffet-style lunch before slipping into the sea. It is also a fantastic space to enjoy a movie night, nibbling on pizza and popcorn, while the film is projected onto the sails. All of these areas will be beautifully prepared and decorated each day and according to the needs of you and your guests by the highly qualified and appraised interior crew.

9 Fascinating Facts About the ‘Maltese Falcon,’ One of the World’s Most Iconic Sailing Yachts

A three-deck atrium, two master suites, two cinemas, and the innovative falconrig are just a few of the secrets of this highly technical yacht., julia zaltzman, julia zaltzman's most recent stories.

Sailing Yacht Maltese Falcon

At the time of its 2006 delivery, the 289-foot Maltese Falcon held the title of the world’s largest sailing yacht—nearly stretching the length of a football field, with a 42-foot beam. The Falcon ’s first-place status has been eclipsed by more recent launches, including the 348-foot Black Pearl and Jeff Bezos’s 417-foot Koru . But the Maltese Falcon remains one of the most iconic boats on the water as well as one of the largest sailing yachts for charter via Burgess.

Commissioned by the late Tom Perkins—a pioneer of Silicon Valley’s venture capital industry who was briefly married to romance novelist Danielle Steel (his own novel, Sex and the Single Zillionaire, is still available on Amazon)—and built by Perini Navi, Maltese Falcon has won 18 design awards since its launch. Naval architecture was by Gerard Dijkstra, with the original design by Ken Freivokh.

The three-mast sailing yacht last year completed an interior, exterior, and engineering refit at Lusben shipyard. The series of aesthetic and functional improvements include the hull being repainted in Perini Blue and a new extendable passerelle that takes guests down to the water. The teak deck was also replaced, and interiors refurbished with lighter woods, cream panels, and new tapestries.

Here are nine cool facts you didn’t know about the Maltese Falcon .

The FalconRig

falcon malta yacht

The innovative masts and sails, inspired by the 1960s DynaRig concept, were produced by U.K.-based Insensys. The FalconRig is based on three rotating and freestanding masts made from “weapons-grade” carbon fiber, capable of deploying up to 24,756 square feet of sail in six seconds (the average time it takes to tie a necktie) at the push of a button. The huge sail area is spread over 15 sails to greatly reduce the loads while delivering a potential top speed of 25 knots. Maltese Falcon carries a total of 25 sails, giving it 10 to spare. Despite its success, the technology has not been widely adopted, though Black Pearl comes close with its DynaRig system.

This is Where the Magic Happens

falcon malta yacht

All this innovation was only possible with specialized technology, including sensors in the sails that measure loads, wind speeds, and tidal currents, specialized software that Perkins wrote to help crunch this data in nanoseconds and a centralized control center that does most of the sailing automatically. Perkins’s goal was to create a complex but very easy-to-handle sailing machine. He once boasted: “I can teach any sailor how to handle the yacht in five minutes.”

Two Cinemas

falcon malta yacht

One of the yacht’s most unique features is the world’s largest outdoor cinema (above) projected onto the lower sail. Guests can watch from the flybridge or the lounging space at the bow of the sundeck. Since the refit, there is now an indoor cinema (below), with wood paneling and comfy sofas that deliver a Zen vibe.

Three-deck Atrium

falcon malta yacht

Under Perkins’s stewardship, Maltese Falcon contained an incredible collection of modern art, which served as inspiration for the yacht’s “luxury machine” interior penned by Freivokh. It combined industrial chic with high tech, manifested in leather, glass, wood, and steel. The art may no longer be on board and the interior has been refurbished, but the three-deck atrium, with stairs spiraling around the main mast (below), remains a showstopping feature.

Six Years in Build

falcon malta yacht

The hull was built on spec in 1989 by Perini Navi and sat for 10 years waiting for the right owner. When Perkins, who had spent a decade planning the vessel, green-lit the build process, it took from 2000 to 2006, or about twice the time of a typical custom superyacht because of its complexity. Perkins had amassed a fleet of vessels over a 25-year period that included the 141-foot Perini Navi Andromeda la Dea,  a 154-foot ketch of the same name, and the Herreshoff classic Mariette of 1915 . He also owned a restored classic yacht called Atlantide . But Maltese Falcon was Perkins’s opus. He wanted a high-tech, but easy-to-handle sailing machine. He once boasted: “I can teach any sailor how to handle the yacht in five minutes.”

Rotating Sunbed

falcon malta yacht

Maltese Falcon is known for its large modern spaces, including an indoor/outdoor bar area where the glitterati have mingled on deck. Among the yacht’s many refit improvements is a new circular sunbed on the flybridge that rotates with the sun to deliver maximum tanning exposure, guest convenience, and a continuous stream of panoramic vistas.

The Bogart Connection

falcon malta yacht

The name Maltese Falcon was inspired by the 1941 American film noir of the same name, directed by John Huston, that starred Humphrey Bogart and Peter Lorre. Many consider it the greatest detective movie ever made. The black bird, originally made in gold and encrusted with jewels, is also a symbol of extreme wealth. The emblem appears throughout the yacht, on the sails, the linen, and in the form of a bronze sculpture positioned by the indoor cinema.

Two Masters

falcon malta yacht

Officially, there is only one full-beam master suite (top), with a large walk-in wardrobe, an adjoining gym, and his-and-hers bathrooms with a Jacuzzi bath and shower room. However, the private full-beam VIP (bottom) is a close runner up, which many consider a second primary. Facing the flybridge with access to the terrace and walkaround side decks, it has a new bed with a television that rises from the floor. There are an additional four double cabins on the lower deck, each with en suite facilities.

A Full Chest of Water Toys

falcon malta yacht

It’s not surprising that a yacht renowned for being technologically advanced should hold a plethora of toys and other cool amenities. The onboard gym has a state-of-the-art MS Sculpt electric muscle stimulator for toning without breaking a sweat. In the water, there are eFoils, paddleboards, and jetsurfers. The two original Pascoe tenders remain, though Perkins took the DeepFlight Super Falcon personal submersible with him when he sold the yacht in 2009. It was the world’s first “winged submersible” built by Hawkes Ocean Technologies and was named in honor of Maltese Falcon . He later installed the sub aboard his motor yacht Dr No , a converted fisheries training ship, which he used to explore the Pacific Islands.

Iconic yachts: The story of the 88m sailing yacht Maltese Falcon

Article republished from BOAT INTERNATIONAL : 22 JUNE 2021 BY ROGER LEAN-VERCOE

Tom Perkins created one of the most sensational three-masted sailing yachts of the past 100 years when he built the 88 metre  Maltese Falcon  with  Perini Navi .

falcon malta yacht

All images: SuperYachtsMonaco

Launched in 2006, the project took nearly six years to complete. With radical unstayed masts made of ‘weapons-grade’ carbon fibre, computerised sail and mast control system,  M a ltese Falcon,  and in particular its FalconRig, was hailed as a triumph of design, development and engineering.

falcon malta yacht

The great idea of the clipper rig is that a huge sail area, 2,415 metres square, in this case, can be spread over 15 sails, thus greatly reducing the loadings. On  Maltese Falcon  there are a total of 25 sails, giving her 10 spare.

falcon malta yacht

One of the most exciting aspects of  Maltese Falcon  is the yacht’s upwind performance. “We sail as close to the wind as any yacht, of any design, that has more than one mast,” Perkins previously said. He went on to describe the mast and sail control system as ‘almost trivial’ in its simplicity. “I can teach any sailor how to handle the yacht in five minutes,” he said. “To the best of my knowledge, this is not the case with any other big boat with reel winches.”

falcon malta yacht

The superyacht’s ‘luxury machine’ interior – a marriage of industrial chic and high tech – was designed by  Ken Freivokh  around Tom Perkins’ striking modern  art collection , and features leather, glass, wood and steel. The layout includes a master suite and five further guest cabins, and the crew of 16 is accommodated in eight cabins.

Her long and relatively narrow hull was designed be very fast through the water, and her very long waterline 78 metres assures stability against heeling. The sails, made by Robbie Doyle, are stored on individual in-mast mandrels and set and furled using a complex but brilliant system that makes use of a large number of electric motors within the masts and on the yards.

In 2009, Perkins sold  Maltese Falcon  to hedge-fund manager Elena Ambrosiadou. The yacht is now available for charter with  SuperYachtsMonaco  from €460,000 a week.

maltese falcon on the water

New interior images of Maltese Falcon yacht released following refit

The newly-refitted interiors of the iconic 88-metre Perini Navi sailing yacht Maltese Falcon have been revealed by her central agency for charter, Burgess . 

One of the world's largest sailing yachts, Maltese Falcon features naval architecture by Dykstra Naval Architects and interior design by Ken Freivokh .

She joined the charter market shortly after her full-scale refit at Lusben last year, with BOAT International invited for a behind-the-scenes look in March 2023 .

Launched in 2006, the project took nearly six years to complete. With radical unstayed masts made of "weapons-grade" carbon fibre and a computerised sail and mast control system, Maltese Falcon (and its FalconRig) are still considered a triumph of design, development and engineering.

The superyacht emerged from her six month refit with a new cinema room on the main deck, a Japanese-style dining room and an upgrade of technical systems – including "more sustainable" LED lighting and the latest Starlink WiFi.

She also underwent a hull repaint (from black to "Perini Blue") and received a new extendable passerelle, inflatable platform and range of tenders and toys.

Accommodation is across six cabins, including a full-beam master cabin with a walk-in wardrobe and adjoining gym, as well as his-and-hers bathrooms. The bathrooms now have a Jacuzzi bath as well as a shower room.

The flybridge has a new circular sunbed that rotates with the sun, while the main deck is now shaded by a hardtop and arranged with open-air dining, a sit-up bar and new sound and light systems.

Maltese Falcon still features the world's largest outdoor cinema, where movies are projected onto the lower sail.

The sailing yacht is available to charter from a weekly rate of $490,000.
