Afternoon Ferry to Comino: Swim the Blue Lagoon Before Sunset

You board a catamaran at Sliema's Strand at 4:30pm and cruise 45 minutes to Comino's Blue Lagoon, where you swim in clear water and watch the sunset from the deck. A complimentary pineapple cocktail is served on board, and the catamaran has air-conditioned seating, restrooms, and WiFi. The return journey leaves Comino at 8pm and arrives back in Sliema by early evening. You arrange your own transport to the pier, but the ferry itself handles everything else.

The Experience

You're thinking it's too late in the day for anything big — maybe just a walk, maybe a drink by the hotel. Then you remember the Blue Lagoon is only a ferry ride away, and the boat leaves Sliema at 4:30pm. The Golden Comino Escape is a 33-meter catamaran that runs this route daily, and the whole thing wraps up by 8pm, which means you're not missing dinner or staying out past dark. The boat itself is new, eco-friendly, and air-conditioned if the sun gets too much, but most people stay on deck anyway.

You make your own way to the Strand in Sliema — the mooring is right across from the Sliema Hotel — and arrive 25 minutes early like they ask. The crew hands you a drink token as you board, which you'll trade for a complimentary pineapple cocktail once you reach Comino. The cruise up the northeast coast takes about 45 minutes, and the water gets bluer the closer you get to the lagoon. When the catamaran drops anchor, you can jump straight in or float on a lounger if you brought one. The water is so clear you can see the sand and rocks beneath you, and there's no current to fight. People swim, some just wade, others sit on the deck and watch the light change.

The sunset part isn't marketing talk — it actually happens, and it's the reason the boat leaves at that hour. The sky turns gold and then orange, and it reflects off the water in a way that makes you understand why this lagoon shows up on every Malta postcard. By 8pm you're heading back to Sliema, and the evening cruise is quieter than the outbound one. You dock back at the Strand around 8:30pm, which gives you time to grab food or just head back to wherever you're staying. The whole afternoon on the water costs less than a long dinner, and you get the swim and the drink included.
