The sun hits the teak deck and the bow cuts a ribbon through water the color of cut glass—this is a day on a private motor cruiser around Comino, Gozo and the northern coast of Malta. You board at Cirkewwa (or Mgarr Harbour on Gozo) and the skipper eases the engine into a steady hum as limestone cliffs and sea caves slide past.
Verified experiences and guided adventures in the surrounding area.

The sun hits the teak deck and the bow cuts a ribbon through water the color of cut glass—this is a day on a private motor cruiser around Comino, Gozo and the northern coast of Malta. You board at Cirkewwa (or Mgarr Harbour on Gozo) and the skipper eases the engine into a steady hum as limestone cliffs and sea caves slide past.
Geology here is obvious: pale, fossil-rich limestone eroded into steep cliffs, arches and shallow bays. History sits on the headlands — St Mary’s Tower and the coastal batteries recall the Knights and a seafaring past that shaped local villages. Culture is maritime and casual; fishermen, ferry crews and beachside cafés set the rhythm.
Expect 2–4 hours for a half- to full-circle cruise: typical stops include the Blue Lagoon (Comino), Crystal Lagoon, St Mary Bay, St Nicholas Bay and several Gozo coves accessible only by boat. The boat offers shaded seating, a sundeck, freshwater shower, toilets, snorkels, kayaks and a SUP. Swimming and snorkeling are the highlight; clear water and seagrass beds make for easy visibility, though currents can test you in narrow channels.
Practicalities: departures commonly at 09:00 or 10:00 for daytime trips and 17:00 for sunset cruises; groups are private (max ~20–25 guests) and fuel, skipper and basic refreshments are included. Bring reef-friendly sunscreen, a dry bag, and a personal mask if you prefer your own fit. Check wind forecasts—operators cancel in rough weather for safety. With basic mobility and sea-sense you’ll spend the day buoyed between spring-fed coves and high limestone bluffs, watching light chase across the water.
