Gozo & Comino Blue Lagoon: Catamaran Day Trip with Bar

Summary

Malta’s Gozo & Comino by catamaran swim caves bar onboard

You’ll ride a modern catamaran from Sliema to Gozo and Comino’s famous Blue Lagoon, with time to swim or just chill out on deck. There’s an onboard bar, free WiFi, showers, and wheelchair access—plus friendly local crew who make it feel easy. Expect bright water, good stories, and maybe a laugh or two that stays with you after you leave Malta.

What’s the experience like?

I’ll admit, I almost missed the boat — literally. The Sliema Ferry was already buzzing when I showed up, clutching my coffee and hoping the sea wouldn’t be too rough (it wasn’t, thank god). Our catamaran looked shiny and new, all glassy windows and that weirdly comforting hum of air conditioning. There was a family from Valletta next to me; their little boy kept pointing at the water like he’d never seen blue before.

We stopped first at Gozo, which felt like a blink — just enough time to stretch your legs and catch the way the air smells different there, almost herbal. Back on board, our guide (I think her name was Maria?) told us stories about Comino’s old smugglers as we headed for the Blue Lagoon. The water really is that color — not sure how else to say it. I stood at the rail for ages, sun on my arms, watching people dive in. Someone ordered a Cisk beer from the bar and I thought about joining them but ended up just dangling my feet off the side instead.

There’s WiFi if you care (my friend did), showers if you get salty, and plenty of shady spots inside if you burn easily — which I do. You can book a cave tour once you’re on board but honestly, I was happy just floating in the lagoon or watching kids try to catch tiny fish with their hands. It’s not fancy but it feels easygoing in a way that sticks with you. The sound of everyone laughing over the splash of water — I still hear it sometimes when I’m stuck in traffic back home.
