By midmorning the jetty behind the Verdi St. George’s Bay Marina already buzzes with the clank of ropes and the smell of diesel as a compact powerboat slips away toward the open Mediterranean. In six hours you cross channels that separate Malta from its quieter siblings, arriving first at Mġarr Harbour on Gozo for two hours of independent exploration, then cutting across to Comino’s famous Blue Lagoon for a sun-soaked afternoon and a return past the island’s sea caves.
