Dubai-based luxury hospitality leader Jumeirah is charting a new course in elite travel with its latest venture – the iconic sailing superyacht, Maltese Falcon. Joining the Jumeirah Privé collection, the yacht promises an unmatched blend of privacy, elegance, and world-class service at sea.
The 88-metre Maltese Falcon, launched in 2006, is famed worldwide for its innovative design and award-winning craftsmanship. Its distinctive DynaRig system, featuring three rotating carbon-fibre masts, can unfurl 2,400 square metres of sail in just six minutes, creating a striking presence both on the water and in the world of luxury yachting.
Starting December 2025, the yacht will embark on its first voyage under the Jumeirah Privé banner from Antigua. It will follow seasonal itineraries that traverse the Mediterranean during summer, including the Balearic Islands, the French Riviera, Monaco, Italy’s Amalfi Coast, Sardinia, and the coasts of Croatia, Montenegro, Greece, and Türkiye. In winter, it will return to the Caribbean, visiting Antigua, The Bahamas, Saint Martin, and St. Barth.
Jumeirah aims to translate its signature hospitality onto the yacht, offering curated culinary experiences, wellness programmes, and attentive service. This expansion into yachting complements Jumeirah’s goal of doubling its portfolio by 2030 and delivering distinctive, immersive travel experiences to its global clientele.
By integrating one of the world’s most celebrated yachts into its Privé collection, Jumeirah is not just offering a trip—it is creating a floating sanctuary of luxury, where privacy, sophistication, and seamless service converge at sea.
