You push off from the harbor and the island horizon opens—a ribbon of limestone cliffs and cobalt water that seems to pull the bow toward Comino. Salt sprays your face, the deck hums beneath you, and the Blue Lagoon announces itself with an impossible teal that dares you over the rail.
This full-day private charter threads together Malta’s northern gems: Comino’s shallow lagoons and caves, the crystalline pockets between Comino and Cominotto, and the quieter bays of Gozo like San Blas and Hondoq. The archipelago’s geology is pure Mediterranean limestone—karst cliffs, sea caves and red sand formed by millennia of wave abrasion. Culturally, these waters have ferried Phoenicians, Romans and Knights of St. John; today the islands’ fishing villages keep a measured pace and a practical hospitality aimed at sea-goers.
Expect a mix of snorkeling, short swims, SUP time and cliffside photo stops; guides often time visits for calmer sea windows and quieter coves. Facilities onboard typically include a toilet, shower, icebox and sun-protected seating, plus life jackets and snorkel gear. The tour is flexible—custom stops are common—and suitable for families and swimmers, though mobility to climb aboard is required.
Practical tips: start early to beat peak crowds at the Blue Lagoon, pack reef-safe sunscreen and a dry bag, and bring layered sun protection for windier crossings. Watch for Posidonia beds and avoid anchoring on seagrass. In unsettled weather the route will be adjusted; always follow the skipper’s safety brief before entering the water.

These islands sit along historic Mediterranean routes once navigated by Phoenicians and later fortified by the Knights of St. John; Gozo retains rural fishing villages and small chapels reflecting that layered past.
