Comino Blue Lagoon Catamaran: All-Inclusive & Open Bar

Anchor in Comino's Blue Lagoon with lunch and drinks included all day

You board a catamaran in Valletta and spend the day anchored in multiple bays between Malta and Comino, swimming and snorkeling as the captain navigates according to sea conditions. Lunch and an open bar of wine, beer and soft drinks are served during a swimming stop. Afterward, music and dancing happen on deck if you're interested. The famous Blue Lagoon is included weather permitting, and the whole experience runs around six hours of sailing and swimming combined.

The experience

The catamaran leaves Valletta in the morning, and within an hour you're past the first bay. There's no fixed itinerary: the captain reads the sea conditions and decides where to drop anchor, which means you might swim in spots other boats skip. The boat itself is solid, built for the water rather than just fitted out for it, and the deck has enough space that you're not packed shoulder-to-shoulder even when the boat fills up.

Swimming stops happen in different bays on the way to Comino, and you get maybe three or four of them depending on the day. The Blue Lagoon is the main event: that pale turquoise water between Comino and Cominotto that looks almost unreal when you're actually floating in it. Weather permitting, you'll also anchor near St. Mary's Tower, the old fortification that was used as a filming location for The Count of Monte Cristo. The whole journey from Valletta to Comino and back takes roughly three hours of travel time, which leaves the rest of the day for swimming, eating and just sitting on deck.

Lunch arrives during one of the swimming stops: a buffet with cold cuts (turkey, smoked gammon, salami), a few cheeses, salad options including vegetarian and vegan choices, bread rolls, and fresh fruit. The open bar runs all day: wine, beer, soft drinks and water, included in the price. After lunch, the music starts: the crew puts on a playlist and people dance on deck if they want to, or just stay quiet if they don't. It's casual enough that you're never forced into the party part.

The boat adjusts its route based on sea conditions, so if the weather shifts, the captain changes course rather than sticking to a plan. That flexibility is what makes the day work. You're not fighting the water to hit a schedule. Bring sunscreen and a towel. The boat provides snorkeling gear if you want it.
