The bow cuts through glassy water and spray beads on your sunglasses as the skipper throttles the twin Yamahas toward a pocket of turquoise that seems too bright to be real.
This three-hour private speedboat from northern Malta threads between limestone cliffs, past weathered sea caves and the squat stone tower on Comino that the Knights of St. John built in 1618 to watch the Gozo Channel. The island’s pale coralline and globigerina limestones, carved by wind and waves, create caverns and arches you’ll pass — some you can peer into, others you can slip a kayak or snorkel through.
Locals prize the Blue Lagoon for its shallow, warm shallows and the quieter Crystal Lagoon on Cominotto for clearer snorkel visibility and compact reefs. Expect to see spiny sea urchins clinging to ledges, shoals of damselfish, and gulls wheeling above the tower; the route is as much about geology and coastal history as it is about swimming.
Practically, the trip is designed for easy coastal access: life jackets are provided, masks available for a small deposit, and the crew will pick snorkeling stops. Plan to arrive hydrated and with reef-safe sunscreen, bring water shoes for short landings on pebbly or rocky shores, and secure phones and cameras in dry bags. Morning runs offer calmer seas and clearer water for visibility; sunset charters trade swimming time for golden light over the bay.
This private, customizable run to Comino is ideal for families and groups who want fast transfers between coves, focused snorkeling, and a short, high-reward marine escape from Malta’s busier beaches.
easy.
3 hours.
Minimal fitness required; participants should be able to get on/off a low-deck boat and swim short distances for snorkeling.
Most charters leave from northern Malta marinas near Cirkewwa or Marfa; meeting details are provided at booking and depend on operator staging.
Masks are offered for a refundable deposit as listed, but bringing your own snorkel and mask ensures fit and comfort.
Short charters stop near Blue Lagoon where public toilets and a jetty exist; boats have basic facilities like an onboard cooler but not full restrooms.
Yes; life jackets are provided and trips are family-friendly, but non-swimmers should remain near the boat and be supervised—notify operator of any special needs at booking.
Comino’s watchtower was built in 1618 under the Knights of St. John to monitor the Gozo Channel; the island’s strategic position shaped local maritime activity for centuries.
Blue Lagoon draws heavy summer visitation; avoid anchoring on seagrass beds, use reef-safe sunscreen, and pack out all trash to reduce impact.
