The catamaran slips away from Sliema’s Strand as the harbor light softens, and the northeast coast of Malta recedes into a ribbon of limestone and low scrub. Salt-sweet air pushes against the deck; passengers drift between sunlit benches and the shaded, air‑conditioned saloon as the 33‑metre catamaran cuts toward Comino’s Blue Lagoon.

Arrive early to board

If you’re prone to motion sickness, sit midship, face forward and consider medication or acupressure bands before departure.
