Malta’s only two Michelin star restaurant has just launched a new experience – a luxury exclusive floating chef’s table.

ION at Sea is an extension of ION Habour by Simon Rogan and is hosted aboard a Riva 44 yacht.

It operates from tonight (Friday 19th June) to Sunday 4th October 2026, sailing every Tuesday, Wednesday, Friday, Saturday and Sunday.

Each sailing is reserved for a single party of two to four guests, with only one booking per evening.

Menu items include lampuki cured in juniper with beetroots from Joseph’s farm, truffle pudding glazed in myrtle molasses, red eye potatoes and cuttlefish cooked in chicken fat, and guinea hen stuffed with mushrooms from Mġarr.

For €1,995 for two people, guests can enjoy an intimate sunset dinner at the Grand Harbour with views of the Three Cities. For €3,495, they can spend an afternoon at sea and choose where to drop anchor for dinner.

ION at Sea brings together the talented team from Simon Rogan’s Michelin-starred Aulis Phuket, led by Chef Charlie Wilson and Restaurant Manager Arsen Brahaj, who have created a seasonal tasting menu rooted in the Maltese Islands.

“We aren’t just offering dinner on a boat; we are breaking the boundaries of traditional fine dining by translating a two-Michelin-starred kitchen environment directly onto a beautiful yacht,” ION Harbour Chef Patron Simon Rogan said.

“It has been an incredible technical and creative challenge to pioneer an interactive chef’s table on a moving boat, and to create an experience that reimagines how guests connect with Malta’s stunning landscapes.”
