Set off from Cirkewwa or Mgarr on a private boat charter that threads the Blue Lagoon, Comino and southern Gozo. Swim crystalline coves, snorkel caves and customize the pace for cliff jumps or shoreline relaxation.

A morning wind catches the canopy as your skipper eases the bow out of Cirkewwa; the island chain of Malta shrinks behind you and the sea opens like a promise. Light hits limestone cliffs, the water flashes from deep navy to that electric aquamarine the Blue Lagoon is famous for, and the boat becomes both transport and vantage point for a day of swimming, snorkeling, and short cliff jumps.
