Eight hours sailing three islands: Blue Lagoon's turquoise shallows, Crystal Lagoon's rocky coves, Gozo's golden and secluded bays

The experience

The boat leaves with just your group and a skipper who knows the coastline. You're not following a fixed schedule or waiting for other passengers to board. The eight hours are yours to shape. The skipper navigates to Blue Lagoon first (the shallow turquoise water on Comino where you can swim and snorkel in calm conditions), then to Crystal Lagoon, a rockier, more secluded spot on the same island. From there, the boat heads to Gozo, where you pick which beaches to visit: Ramla Bay with its golden sand, San Blas Bay tucked into cliffs, or the hidden coves in between.

Snorkeling gear is onboard and ready to use. The water stays clear enough to see the seafloor and whatever marine life is moving through. The BBQ is available if you want to cook, and the skipper keeps water and soft drinks flowing throughout the day. The eight hours include the travel time between islands, so you're not paying extra for the boat to move. It's all part of the charter. Infants and small children can come along. They just need to sit on an adult's lap or in a stroller for the journey.

Food and alcohol are not included in the charter price, though both are available to add at checkout. If you're staying without a car or your hotel is away from the main marina, the skipper can advise on the best pickup point. Public transport runs nearby if you need it.

Is this one for you?The private charter departs from a fixed marina point accessible by public transport, so you don't need a car or a hotel near the water to reach the boat. You control the pace and the stops (spend your time where you want instead of following a group schedule), which means you can linger in the water or move on as your group prefers.

Top questions

What happens if it rains?

It may be canceled due to bad weather. If that happens, you're offered another date or a refund. Free cancellation up to 24 h before the start.

What exactly is Blue Lagoon in Malta and why is it only reachable by boat?

Blue Lagoon sits in the shallow waters between Comino and a smaller islet, with no road access to the water's edge. The calm, clear turquoise shallows are what make it popular for swimming and snorkeling, and the boat gets you there directly so you can spend as much time in the water as you want without the crowds that gather at land-based beaches.

Can I choose how long to spend at each stop, or is the itinerary fixed?

You and your skipper decide together where to go and how long to stay at each place. The eight-hour charter is your time, so if you want to spend four hours snorkeling at Blue Lagoon and just an hour at Gozo, that's your call. The skipper knows the conditions and the best spots, so they'll guide you, but the schedule is yours.

Is snorkeling equipment included, and what if I don't know how to snorkel?

Snorkeling gear is included with the charter. The skipper can show you how to use it, and the water at Blue Lagoon is shallow and calm, which makes it a good place to start if you're new to snorkeling. You're not required to go in the water at all: plenty of people just swim or relax on the boat.

What does the BBQ on the boat mean? Do I cook my own food?

The BBQ is available for use if you want to cook onboard, but you'll need to bring or arrange your own food. Food is not included in the charter price. You can add a catering option at checkout or bring a picnic to cook yourself.

How do I get to the boat if I don't have a car?

Public transportation runs near the marina, and the skipper can tell you the easiest pickup point when you book. If your hotel is far from the main departure point, let the operator know and they can advise on the best way to reach the boat.
