The motor hum settles and the Mediterranean opens like a road of glass as your private boat slips away from the harbor. Salt-bright air lifts, and limestone cliffs step aside to reveal the Blue Lagoon’s turquoise shallows — water that seems to hold light itself. Over four hours a skipper guides you through Comino’s caverns, past grotto mouths and sand pockets where tamarisks shade small beaches, pausing at crystal coves for swims, snorkel laps, or a clean cliff jump.
