Private Boat Charter: Blue Lagoon, Crystal Lagoon, Comino

Anchor at turquoise bays, snorkel caves, swim without the crowds

A private boat charter from Santa Maria for up to six people visits Blue Lagoon, Crystal Lagoon, Hondoq Bay and Comino over three hours, with snorkeling equipment, bottled water and a bottle of local wine included. Your captain anchors away from the main crowds at each stop, and the boat carries a freshwater shower, dry storage and Bluetooth speaker so you can control the pace and the music.

The experience

How do you get to the clearest water without fighting the tour groups? You book a private boat. The captain anchors Ozzi One (a comfortable open boat with cushioned loungers at the bow and shaded seating at the back) at Blue Lagoon first, away from the packed public beach, so you swim in turquoise water on your own schedule. After that comes Crystal Lagoon and its caves, one of the best snorkeling spots in the area, where you can drift among the fish or just float and look.

The boat carries snorkeling equipment, so you don't pack your own; a freshwater shower rinses off the salt; dry luggage storage keeps your things safe; and a Bluetooth speaker means you choose what plays. Bottled water and a bottle of local wine come with the charter. The three-hour window is tight enough to fit the rest of your day in Santa Maria, but long enough to visit multiple bays and actually spend time in the water instead of moving between stops.

Your captain is experienced and speaks English, and the boat works for groups up to six: large enough that a family or a small group of friends splits the cost, small enough that you're not herded with strangers. Service animals are welcome, and the boat suits all fitness levels.

Is this one for you?Three hours is enough to visit four separate bays and actually spend time swimming and snorkeling, but short enough to leave your morning or afternoon free for the rest of Santa Maria. If you want a full-day island tour with multiple destinations and guided stops, look for a longer charter. If you want a quick dip in one lagoon, this covers more water than you need.

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's the difference between Blue Lagoon and Crystal Lagoon on this charter?

Blue Lagoon is where you swim first in calm turquoise water, anchored away from the public beach crowds. Crystal Lagoon comes next and is known for snorkeling among fish and exploring its caves, making it the deeper-water stop of the two.

Do I need to bring my own snorkeling gear?

No. Snorkeling equipment is provided on the boat, so you can jump in without packing your own mask and fins.

Is there time to visit other spots besides the two lagoons?

Yes. The three-hour charter also includes stops at Hondoq Bay and the island of Comino, so you see multiple bays and caves in a single outing.

Can I rinse off after snorkeling?

Yes. The boat has a freshwater shower onboard, so you can rinse the salt water off before heading back to shore.

What happens if our group is smaller than six people? Do we still get the whole boat?

Yes. You book the boat as a private charter regardless of group size, so whether it's two people or six, you have the full boat and the captain's attention to yourself.
