Morning light strikes the rippled surface as the Mermaid slips away from L‑Menqa Jetty in Bugibba. On a smaller boat the sea feels immediate: spray on your face, the captain calling directions, and the promise of cliffs and arches drawing nearer. You’ll thread along Malta’s limestone coast before arriving at Comino’s Blue Lagoon — water so clear the seabed seems suspended beneath glass.

Onboard rentals are limited; a personal mask improves visibility and comfort for multiple swims.
Secure small items in a dry bag
Wave spray and splash risks are higher on smaller boats — keep phones and documents protected.
