The catamaran slips away from the harbor and the island silhouette of Malta shrinks into a curve; salt air pushes at the sail and the sea dares you to jump in.

History
These channels have been maritime crossroads since antiquity; Gozo and Malta host Phoenician, Roman and Knights of St. John sites that reflect layered seafaring history.
Conservation
Anchoring in seagrass beds can damage habitats—use designated mooring or follow the skipper’s guidance and choose reef-safe products to reduce impact.
Reserve your spot on the Catamaran Trip in Malta today and enjoy a trusted, highly rated experience designed to help you make the most of your adventure.
Book an early departure
Leave at first light to reach the Blue Lagoon before crowded day boats arrive and to enjoy calmer seas; mornings are cooler for swimming.
Bring reef-safe sunscreen
The water is clear and shallow in places; use reef-safe SPF and reapply after swimming to protect marine life and your skin.
Wear water shoes
Boarding from shore or stepping on limestone shelves is common—grippy water shoes protect feet and make boarding easier.
Confirm swim stops in advance
Tell the skipper which coves or how long you want to stop—private charters are flexible but planning helps maximize time on the water.
Snorkel mask and fins
Clear water rewards personal snorkel gear for better fit and longer exploration.
