What this video covers
Stefan Heiberg conducts a day charter in Malta, navigating the waters around Sliema and Grand Harbor following four days of strong Grigal winds.0:48 The charter involves docking maneuvers at a stone quay where the boat lacks a gate, requiring passengers to step directly onto the wall.1:47 Heiberg executes these landings by approaching the dock at a 30- to 45-degree angle at minimal speed.2:09 Once the boat is two to three meters from the wall, he turns the helm slightly to allow the vessel to glide gently against the fenders.2:09 He emphasizes that if a skipper feels they are moving too fast, they are likely exceeding the necessary speed; the correct approach speed should feel almost too slow.9:05 The day includes swimming near a tuna farm and navigating around local boat traffic.7:05 Heiberg plans a future delivery of a catamaran from Malta to Turkey to demonstrate potential income streams for boat owners.9:32
