Private Boat Charter: Blue Lagoon, Crystal Lagoon & Comino

Four hours on the water reaches three lagoons most visitors never find.

A private boat charter around Comino and Gozo for up to seven guests, departing from Ċirkewwa or Mġarr. You swim and snorkel at the Blue Lagoon and the quieter Crystal Lagoon, explore sea caves and hidden coves, and return with a licensed skipper, snorkeling gear, and a complimentary Gozitan platter included. Choose from morning, afternoon, sunset, or full-day departures to fit your schedule.

• Depart from Ċirkewwa or Mġarr

The experience

The boat holds up to seven people, so a family or small group travels together without joining strangers. A licensed skipper handles the navigation and knows where the water is calmest for swimming and where the rock formations make the best snorkeling. The Blue Lagoon is the famous stop (turquoise water, limestone cliffs, clear enough to see the seabed), but the real find is the Crystal Lagoon just nearby, quieter and equally clear, reachable only by boat. Most visitors to Comino never make it there.

Snorkeling masks and water noodles come with the charter, so you don't pack gear or rent it separately. The boat has a Bluetooth sound system and free WiFi, sun canopies over the bathing areas, and lounge seating where you can dry off between swims. A complimentary Gozitan platter and mineral water are served while you're on the water. If the lagoons aren't enough, the skipper can take you to St Nicholas Bay on the western side, Santa Marija Bay with its sandy beach and accessible sea cave, or into the caves scattered along Comino's coastline: spaces carved into the rock that open directly onto the water.

You pick the timing: morning or afternoon charters run four hours, sunset charters are three hours, and a full-day option stretches to seven hours. The boat departs from Ċirkewwa or Mġarr, both accessible by public transport, and the skipper plans the route based on conditions and what you want to see that day.

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 makes the Crystal Lagoon different from the Blue Lagoon?

The Crystal Lagoon sits near the Blue Lagoon but stays quieter and less crowded. The water is just as clear, and it's only reachable by boat, so fewer tourists find it. Most visitors to Comino see only the famous Blue Lagoon and miss this one entirely.

Is snorkeling gear included, or do I need to bring my own?

Snorkeling masks and water noodles come with the charter, so you don't need to pack or rent them separately. Underwater lighting is also available if you want to explore deeper.

What's included in the complimentary Gozitan platter?

The charter includes a complimentary Gozitan platter and mineral water served on board. The platter is a local specialty, though the exact contents vary. Alcoholic beverages and soft drinks are not included.

How many people can fit on the boat?

The boat holds up to seven guests, so families and small groups travel together without joining other bookings. A licensed skipper is always on board.

Can I visit the sea caves, or is it just the lagoons?

The skipper can take you to Santa Marija Cave near Santa Marija Bay and other sea caves along Comino's coastline. They're accessible only by boat and known for clear water and rock formations. The exact caves visited depend on conditions and your preferences.

Which departure time should I choose?

Morning and afternoon charters run four hours; sunset charters are three hours; full-day charters are seven hours. Pick based on how much time you want on the water and which time of day suits the rest of your itinerary.
