The Powerboat P1 UIM World Championship 2008 event brought powerboat racing to Malta and with the continuous success of Aaron and Audrienne Ciantar in the powerboat racing world, a Maltese Powerboat Association (MPA) was set up during the same year to organize powerboat racing around the Maltese Islands.
The MPA is affiliated with Royal Yachting Association UK (RYA) and the Malta Powerboat Federation Malta. RYA Officials assist MPA during powerboat events in Malta and train MPA officials to RYA UK standards.
