You step onto warm teak at Sliema quay as the Fernandes gul e t breathes steam and canvas into a clear Mediterranean morning. The Strand slips away and the island cliffs of northeast Malta open like a map of inlets and limestone terraces. Gulls wheel; the boat's engine hums into a slower, salt-sanded rhythm.

History
Comino and Gozo have long maritime histories — Comino served as a quarantine and lookout post while Gozo preserved rural traditions and stone‑built chapels linked to centuries of island life.
Conservation
The Blue Lagoon ecosystem is sensitive to overtourism; stick to marked swim zones, avoid anchoring on seagrass, and take all rubbish back to the boat to help protect the marine habitat.
Reserve your spot on the Fernandes Cruise to Blue Lagoon in Comino and Gozo today and enjoy a trusted, highly rated experience designed to help you make the most of your adventure.
Bring reef‑safe sunscreen
The Blue Lagoon’s water clarity depends on protecting seagrass and marine life — use reef‑safe sunscreen and reapply frequently in the sun.
Pack swim shoes and a towel
Rocky entries and the boat’s ladder make swim shoes useful; a quick‑dry towel is lighter to carry on board.
Plan for motion comfort
Channel conditions can be choppy; if you get seasick, take medication before boarding and sit mid‑ship where motion is minimized.
Confirm pick‑up details
Land transfers cover many Malta pick‑up points but check your confirmed pick‑up time (usually 08:00–09:30) to avoid delays.
Swimsuit
Primary use for swimming and sunbathing at both anchorages.
