Malta Half-Day Sailing Charter & Bay ExplorationYou board a small yacht with a skipper and a handful of others, choose your destination bay from four options, and spend four hours sailing, swimming, or learning to handle the wheel yourself. Snorkeling gear and paddle boards are on board; water is provided. You can bring your own food or skip it. Evening charters can include a night harbour tour instead of a full sail. The return time depends on which departure you pick — morning ends at 12:30pm, evening at 10:30pm.Is it for me?Right for people who want to actually sail or swim in clear water without a fixed itinerary or a crowd — the skipper adjusts the day to what you want, and the small-group format means you're not one of thirty people on a tour boat.
Private boat tour Malta: anchor in Blue Lagoon aloneYou get a private boat, a professional English-speaking skipper, and three hours to explore Malta's clearest lagoons and caves without sharing the water with tour groups. Snorkel gear, all park permits, and marina fees are included. The itinerary flexes with sea conditions and your mood, so you stop where the water is bluest and stay as long as you want. Pickup and drop-off are at Cirkewwa or Mgarr, with the option to end on either Malta or Gozo.Is it for me?Book this if you want to see Malta's clearest water and hidden caves without being herded onto a crowded beach—the private boat is what makes the flexible schedule and the bluest anchorages possible.
Malta: Private Blue Lagoon, Gozo & Comino Boat CharterYou’ll board your own private boat from Malta or Gozo with a local captain who knows every cove by heart. Swim in the Blue Lagoon before crowds arrive, snorkel clear waters around Comino caves, and relax in quiet bays like Santa Marija. With pickup included and all gear sorted, you get a day that feels both easygoing and personal — honestly hard to forget.
Malta: Private Boat Tour Blue Lagoon, Comino & Gozo CavesYou’ll float through Malta’s bluest lagoons with a local skipper who knows every quiet cove—swimming, snorkeling or just sunbathing as you like. Expect soft seats, shade when you need it, music if you want it—and space to breathe away from crowds. It’s relaxed but feels special; those colors stick with you long after.
Private Boat Tour Comino: anchor in the bluest watersYou get a private boat with skipper, snorkel equipment, ice box, and the freedom to anchor in the clearest sections of Malta's Blue Lagoon and explore Comino's caves and Gozo's hidden bays without sharing the water or the schedule. The skipper adapts the route to sea conditions and your preferences, so you're not locked into a fixed itinerary. Fuel is EUR 79 extra; everything else — entry to the lagoon areas, gear, shaded seating, the swim ladder — is included.Is it for me?Book this if you want to swim and snorkel in Malta's clearest waters without sharing the boat or the schedule with strangers — the private charter is what makes anchoring in the bluest sections of the Blue Lagoon and entering sea caves possible, instead of dropping off at crowded points like the larger tour boats do.
2 to 5 hours (3)
Mellieha: Gozo, Comino & Blue Lagoon Cruise with CavesYou’ll drift between Malta’s wildest sea caves and lagoons by boat, swimming through crystal-clear waters at Comino’s Crystal Lagoon and famous Blue Lagoon. With a local guide sharing stories (and jokes), you’ll spot Gozo’s coastline, mysterious rocks, and pause for photos at Santa Maria Caves — all with plenty of time to swim or just soak up that Maltese sunlight.
Malta Sunset Boat Tour: Bugibba to Blue Lagoon CruiseYou board at Bugibba Jetty in late afternoon and cruise north past St. Paul's Island and Coral Cove to reach the Blue Lagoon as the crowds leave. You get a 2-hour stop to swim, walk the beach, or relax on deck with food and drinks, then return to Malta after sunset. The boat includes a full bar, upper sun deck, and a water slide; no need to arrange transport or time the tides yourself.Is it for me?Pick this if you want to see the Blue Lagoon without the afternoon heat and crowds, and you'd rather not arrange your own boat or timing — the late departure is what makes the whole thing possible in one evening.
Gozo & Comino: Blue Lagoon Caves Small Group Boat TourYou’ll join a small group cruise from Malta to Gozo and Comino, swimming at Blue Lagoon and Crystal Lagoon, gliding into sea caves only smaller boats can reach. With a local guide sharing stories and plenty of time for snorkeling or relaxing on deck, you’ll get close to the coastlines—and maybe catch yourself smiling at something unexpected.
Half day and longer (5)
Malta: Blue Lagoon & Gozo Cruise with Waterslide & 3-Hour Island TimeYou board at St. Paul's Bay, cruise past sea caves and rock formations for an hour, then moor at the Blue Lagoon for 1.5 hours of swimming and snorkeling with a waterslide option. After that, you have 3 free hours in Gozo — either exploring Victoria's Citadel and streets on an optional shuttle, or relaxing at the harbor. The boat returns at 5pm, and the whole day is run by a family crew that's been doing this since 1984.Is it for me?A good fit if you want to see Comino and Gozo in one day without renting a car or arranging your own boat — the fixed schedule and mooring position mean you get both swimming time and island exploration without the logistics. Plan for a full day out from morning to early evening; that's what makes fitting three stops and 3 free hours in Gozo possible.
Gozo & Comino: Blue Lagoon, Citadel & Santa Marija Day TripYou’ll feel both freedom and wonder on this Gozo & Comino day trip: catch salty breezes from Bugibba, roam Victoria’s ancient Citadel, climb windswept Santa Marija Tower, then swim in the unreal blue of Comino’s lagoon. No guide means you set your own pace — just soak it all in.
Blue Lagoon Catamaran Malta: 2–3 swimming stops dailyYou board a large catamaran at St Paul's Bay and sail to two or three swimming and snorkeling spots—Blue Lagoon, Crystal Lagoon, or Ghajn Tuffieha—chosen on the day based on sea and wind conditions. Sunbeds and trampoline nets are yours to use, and if the route passes Popeye Village, you get a photo stop at the old film set. The boat runs adults-only (12+) June through October, with music and a relaxed pace built around water time, not guided commentary. Plan to arrive thirty minutes early, leave shoes at the gangway, and expect a full day in the sun with swimming and snorkeling included.Is it for me?Right for swimmers and sun-seekers who want a full day on the water without arranging transport or picking specific stops—the catamaran adjusts to conditions, which is what keeps the snorkeling and swimming time flexible and safe. Plan for a full day out (roughly eight hours) and arrive thirty minutes early; the adult-only summer season (12+ June–October) means a relaxed, music-filled atmosphere rather than a family tour.
Malta: Blue Lagoon & Comino Caves Cruise with Swim & SlideYou’ll float through Malta’s wild blue waters to Comino’s caves, then swim and slide into the Blue Lagoon right from your family-run boat. With plenty of time to sunbathe or chill in shade, grab snacks from the bar or wander onto Comino island at your own pace. This isn’t a polished cruise — it’s relaxed, warm, and full of small surprises.
Malta: Catamaran Cruise, Comino Caves & Lunch with DrinksYou’ll slip into Malta’s easy rhythm on this catamaran cruise: sunbathing on bean bags as you pass Valletta’s walls, swimming off Comino’s quieter coves, sharing a fresh lunch with wine, then drifting home through Grand Harbour’s golden light. It feels personal—a day run by people who actually care if you’re comfortable.
