Private Speed Boat Charter: Comino & Blue Lagoon

Sea caves carved into limestone cliffs are part of the route, not a separate excursion.

A private speed boat charter around Comino and the Blue Lagoon in Malta carries up to seven guests with a professional skipper for three hours of swimming, snorkeling and exploring secluded coves. The boat stops at the Blue Lagoon's turquoise shallows, the deeper Crystal Lagoon with its cave-lined coastline, and Santa Marija Bay's sandy shore, each chosen based on what your group wants to do that day.

The experience

The boat leaves with a qualified skipper who tailors the route to your group's pace and interests. You pick the balance between time in the water and time on deck: some groups spend the morning floating in the Blue Lagoon's crystal-clear shallows, others move between three stops to chase different water conditions and scenery. Swimming fins, snorkeling masks and noodle floats are provided, and the stern ladder makes entry and exit straightforward. Fresh water showers rinse off salt between stops.

The Blue Lagoon sits in turquoise water so clear the white sandy seabed is visible from the surface, surrounded by limestone cliffs and untouched coastline. Crystal Lagoon, less crowded and deeper, runs along a cave-studded cliff face where snorkelers spot marine life in some of Malta's best underwater visibility. Santa Marija Bay is Comino's main sandy beach, shallow and calm, the kind of stop where families float without effort and couples walk the coastal paths. Which stops the skipper includes depends on sea conditions and what your group wants to do.

The boat has shaded and sunbathing deck space, comfortable seating, an ice cooler with fresh ice, and a sound system. Life jackets are provided. Toilet facilities are on board. The charter runs three hours, and public transport reaches the departure point. Food and drinks are not included, though they can be purchased at stops on Comino Island.
