Blue Lagoon Comino Boat Trip: Private Charters from Malta
Skip the ferry crowds. Your own boat, your own pace, from Ta' Xbiex or Sliema
The Best Way to See the Blue Lagoon
The Blue Lagoon on Comino is the most famous stretch of water in Malta, and the only way to reach it is by sea. Most people take the public ferry from Ċirkewwa: a crowded jetty, a packed beach and a fixed time to leave.
On one of our private boat charters in Malta, you rent the whole boat for your own group. You anchor in the lagoon, swim and snorkel in the turquoise water, and leave when you're ready. We have been running day charters to Comino for over ten years.

Blue Lagoon Comino: FAQs
What is the best way to visit the Blue Lagoon in Malta?
A private boat charter. You arrive before the ferry crowds, anchor where you want, and the lagoon becomes one stop on a full day on the water rather than a rushed visit on a ferry timetable.
How much does a Comino boat trip cost?
Prices are for the whole boat, never per person. A full day to Comino starts from €650 on our RIB with a skipper (up to 8 guests, fuel extra), or €700 on our sailing yacht (up to 10 guests). Our catamarans run from €900 for 14 guests up to €1,900 for Playtime (up to 55), with skipper and fuel included.
How long does it take to get to Comino by boat?
About 90 minutes each way from Roland Marina in Ta' Xbiex or from our Sliema base.
Can you swim at the Blue Lagoon on a private charter?
Yes. You anchor in the bay and swim and snorkel freely, with no time limits and no shared beach. The water is clearest and calmest from spring to autumn, and still good for swimming in October.
Can you combine the Blue Lagoon and the Blue Grotto in one day?
Yes. We run a combined full-day route covering the Blue Lagoon at Comino and the Blue Grotto on Malta's south coast. It's one of our most popular summer routes.
Do I need to book in advance?
Yes, especially in July and August, when boats book out several weeks ahead.
What size groups can you take to Comino?
Up to 55 guests on one boat, and bigger groups can book two or three boats together. Our nine boats range from an 8-guest RIB and a 10-guest sailing yacht to a catamaran for 55.
Is Comino just the Blue Lagoon?
No. The Crystal Lagoon is just as clear and usually quieter, Santa Marija Bay is calm and good for families, and St Mary's Tower is a 17th-century watchtower with views across to Malta and Gozo.
