Spotlight on MALTESE FALCON.

Published 29 April 2022

Charter Manager Hannah Chapelier welcomes back to Burgess the world's most iconic, innovative and recognisable sailing yacht. Often copied, never bettered, the 88m MALTESE FALCON is once again available to charter with Burgess

'This is huge,' says Charter Manager Hannah Chapelier. 'MALTESE FALCON is back in the Burgess charter fleet – and I get to manage her. I'm absolutely thrilled!' 'She's available from 22 August in  Greece , the Adriatic, Italy or the  South of France , so big plans for the season. 'I'm sure we're going to keep her very busy this summer!'

Charter rate: from EUR 420,000 per week

This is no ordinary yacht. The 88m (288.6ft) MALTESE FALCON is a technological tour de force and still, over 15 years after launch, one of the most innovative, game-changing sailing yachts in the world. She swept the awards board following her delivery in 2006 and picked up the Finest Superyacht Ever award at the Baccarat Superyacht World in 2013, testament to the enduring appeal of this yacht as well as her relentless maintenance and upgrades schedule.

Today the yacht is as iconic as ever. 'She is in immaculate condition,' says Hannah. Her exterior styling and interior design, by the serial award-winning British designer Ken Freivokh, evoke the industrial Art-Deco aesthetic of Fritz Lang's Metropolis, a bold symphony of wood, leather, steel and glass. 'She's incredible,' Hannah continues. 'Around every corner there are stop-and-stare artworks and architectural features, like the three-deck sky-lit atrium where the stairs spiral around the main mast. She's as fresh and impressive as the day she was launched.

'Inside and out she has spaces to suit any mood, from large, convivial sun lounges to intimate reading rooms, informal sun deck dining to a fully equipped gym and massage room,' adds Hannah. 'The main deck is all about entertainment with open-air dining aft served by an intriguing circular sit-up bar that can be bisected by sliding glass doors to create an inside bar and an outside one.

'Inside there is a spacious, simply but elegantly furnished lounge with a big screen for movie watching in air-conditioned comfort. Or you can indulge your passion for film with the largest outdoor cinema in the world, with movies projected onto the lower sail so you can watch from the sun deck. It's real statement viewing.'

She has a 10m (33ft) Pascoe tender to ferry guests into town or onto a deserted beach for a BBQ, and thrill them on waterskis and wakeboards. SeaBobs, kayaks, SUPs, jet surfs, scuba diving and snorkelling equipment, windsurfers, an inflatable platform for relaxing at sea level - she has plenty to keep her guests entertained.

As principal you may be tempted to take the private VIP deck instead, aft facing on the bridge deck with access to the terrace and walkaround sidedecks. There are four more double cabins on the lower deck, all of which can be joined to create two more VIP suites. It's super flexible accommodation, which is great news for all sorts of charter parties.'

The Falcon Rig

MALTESE FALCON is instantly recognisable due to her three free-standing carbon fibre masts, each with six fixed, curved yards along which 2,400sqm (25,833sqft) of sails rolled in the mast unfurl in under six minutes. The Falcon Rig is a development of the DynaRig concept pioneered by German government scientist Wilhelm Prölss in the 1960s in response to a fuel crisis, a concept that enabled square-rigged craft to sail into the wind as well as conventional fore-and-aft rigged yachts. But the strong, lightweight materials required had yet to be invented. Then the fuel crisis passed and, after wind-tunnel testing, the concept was shelved until naval architect Gerard Dijkstra and shipwright Fabio Perini were encouraged to dust it off by the American tech entrepreneur who commissioned MALTESE FALCON.

The system proved incredibly reliable with not a single failure in hundreds of hours of testing. She could sail upwind every bit as well as fore-and-aft rigged vessels.

She tacks quickly using a technique that backs the sails on the foremast to push the bow through the wind and the ability to adjust the amount of sail set at the push of a button means she is immensely comfortable to sail, she is never overpressed.

There is proof of the concept in the multiple trophies she has won at superyacht regattas around the world. This is not a gimmick, MALTESE FALCON is the real deal.

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

maltese falcon yacht deck plans

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

maltese falcon yacht deck plans

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

maltese falcon yacht deck plans

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

maltese falcon yacht deck plans

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

maltese falcon yacht deck plans

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

maltese falcon yacht deck plans

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

maltese falcon yacht deck plans

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

maltese falcon yacht deck plans

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

maltese falcon yacht deck plans

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.

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.

MALTESE FALCON Yacht for Charter

Combining space with true sailing performance capabilities, MALTESE FALCON is one of the most iconic charter yachts afloat. Built by the Italian yard Perini Navi in 2006, she set new standards when she was delivered with her revolutionary sailing system, known as the “Falcon Rig”. The immense DynaRig, powers her through the waves at record shattering speeds, delivering exceptional sailing in uncompromised luxury. 

Offering a truly unique charter experience, her massive exterior spaces and a luxurious décor make MALTESE FALCON the ideal choice for large-scale entertaining, family holidays or simply a superyacht charter with groups of friends. Among her unique offerings are the vast sails, which are not only exciting for their sheer sail power but can also be used to create the largest outdoor cinema screen on the water. She has recently been refitted to include an upper deck Jacuzzi (which offers front row seats to the alfresco cinema), a spa area, complete with an on board masseuse within her crew, and a fully-equipped gym. 

The Ken Freivokh interior is luxurious and practical; sporting all the latest in technology, it features leather, glass, wood and steel along with stunning pieces of modern art to soften the industrial materials. Her spacious salon is the ideal place to socialize with large groups, and she also has a formal dining salon with seating for up to 12 guests. 

For fun in the sun, try some of her water toys, which includes Jet Skis, standup paddleboards, scuba diving equipment and an inflatable slide, which can be attached to the upper deck. 

Spacious guest accommodation includes a full beam master suite with a huge dressing room and private gym, and four equal sized double cabins on the lower deck, which can be connected to create two large suites. The VIP cabin on the upper deck has direct access to the upper aft deck with Jacuzzi.

Game Changer

Arguably one of the most ground-breaking superyachts to ever break water, the 88m Maltese Falcon built by Perini Navi in 2006, refit in 2011 and refurbished in 2020 boasts naval architecture by Dykstra Naval Architects. The custom-designed, free standing, carbon fibre DynaRig contains a 2,400 square metre sail plan that unfurls within six minutes at the push of a button. Scooping 18 awards since her delivery, Maltese Falcon delivers an exhilarating sail turning heads wherever she goes.

Maltese Falcon Through the Lens

Top Billing

Private vip deck.

Maltese Falcon accommodates 12 guests in six Art Deco-themed staterooms interior designed by Ken Freivokh. Guests sleeping over in the bridge deck aft VIP can expect to wake every morning to views that overlook their own private deck. Floor-to-ceiling windows, that frame the cool blue views beyond, pull back to reveal a self-contained lounge terrace with access to walkaround sidedecks.

Dramatic Sailing

Take a seat on the sun deck and settle in for an evening of record-breaking entertainment. Boasting the largest outdoor cinema in the world, movies and magic are projected onto the yacht’s lower sail for a starlit film session under the night’s sky. There’s no finer way to dive deep into a cinematic experience, with blankets and sun loungers for added comfort.

Let There Be Light

Maltese Falcon’s three free standing masts create a spectacular sight on the water, but it’s the interior views that keep on giving. A three-deck sky-lit atrium where the central stairs spiral around the main mast sends shafts of natural light soaring through the heart of the yacht. It makes for spectacular viewing on every level, effortlessly illuminating the guest areas.

Meeting All Needs

Cabin arrangement, full-beam lower deck owner’s suite, bridge deck vip, doubles 1, 2, 3 & 4, keeping up appearances, health and hair dos.

After a long day sailing, guests can ease their way into the evening at the onboard spa, which includes massage and treatment rooms to soothe aching muscles and a dedicated onboard masseuse. There’s even a hair salon to help combat sea spray frizz. And on days that have centred around relaxation, the yacht’s fully equipped gym and personal trainer will satisfy fitness bunnies looking to fat burn while at sea.

Playing Around

Revving up the tempo.

It’s no surprise that a technologically forward yacht of her time would pack a punch in the toy department too. A 10m Pascoe open tender for transiting guests in comfort is paired with a 4.3m Castoldi jet tender for pressing the pedal to the metal. A collection of jet surfs, sea bobs, paddle boards, waterskis, wakeboards and windsurfs guarantee fun on the water. When it’s time to kick back, the inflatable platform provides prime floating real estate.

What's in the Toybox

  • 2 x Tenders
  • 1 x Windsurf
  • 2 x Wakeboards
  • 4 x Seabobs
  • 2 x Diving Equipment
  • 2 x Snorkeling Sets
  • 1 x Water Ski
  • 1 x Inflatable Toys

Sail to Plan

Exterior and interior designed by Ken Freivokh, Maltese Falcon is as beautifully maintained as she is eye-catching. A professional and experienced crew of 19 deliver seven-star service aboard a yacht rich in wood, leather, steel and glass. Providing a modern take on the quintessential sail, Maltese Falcon offers a one-off experience for those looking to cruise the Mediterranean in spectacular style.
