The rarest dining format in the Mediterranean
A private chef’s table aboard a Riva 44, set against the still waters of Malta’s Grand Harbour. Designed for just two to five guests per evening, ION at Sea brings Michelin-starred dining into an intimate setting where every course, movement, and moment is curated with precision.
A DINING EXPERIENCE LIKE NO OTHER
ION at Sea is a private dining experience unlike anything else in the Mediterranean, launching Friday 19 June and running until Sunday 4 October 2026.
Hosted aboard an iconic Riva 44 yacht, ION at Sea is an extension of Simon Rogan's two-Michelin-starred ION Harbour, bringing world-class food and service onto the water, with the Grand Harbour and the open sea beyond.

AN EXPERIENCE DESIGNED AROUND INTIMACY
Each evening is reserved exclusively for a single booking of between two and five guests, creating a chef's table experience that feels entirely personal, with uninterrupted views, genuine hospitality, and the sea all around you.
Available Tuesday, Wednesday, Friday, Saturday and Sunday throughout the season.
A MENU INSPIRED BY MALTESE LAND AND WATERS
Our team serves a seasonal tasting menu rooted in the produce of the Maltese islands, using ingredients from both land and sea.
Served across several courses, each dish finished and plated in front of you, with wine pairings available to add. Throughout the evening the chefs share the stories, ingredients and craft behind every course.
The At Sea Experience
As Valletta fades into evening light, the harbour shifts into something quieter and more cinematic, defined by reflection and stillness.
ION at Sea is not dinner on a yacht. It is Malta unfolding on the water through taste, sound, light and movement.
A Team from Michelin-Starred Restaurants
Led by chef Charlie Wilson and restaurant manager Arsen Brahaj, ION at Sea brings the team from Simon Rogan's one-Michelin-starred Aulis Phuket to the Mediterranean for a special season in Malta.
Working alongside Simon and executive chef Oli Marlow, Charlie has created a seasonal tasting menu rooted in the produce of the Maltese islands, extending the philosophy of the two-Michelin-starred ION Harbour onto the water. Arsen, who hosts each evening, is a recipient of Thailand's Michelin Service Award, 2025.
