A Detailed Look at This Private Malta Boat Experience
We start with the basics: for $178 per group, up to six people**, you get exclusive access to a private boat for about four hours. That’s a notable value considering the inclusions—no splitting costs with strangers—making it a very personal way to see Malta’s captivating coastline. The tour departs from two locations: Mgarr in Gozo and Cirkewwa on Malta, both convenient starting points close to popular spots and with easy access.
The Itinerary and What Makes Each Stop Special
The real allure of this trip lies in the freedom to customize your route, but the tour naturally covers some of Malta’s most treasured sights. You’ll sail around Comino, known for its unspoiled beauty and secluded beaches. From the reviews, we know that Vitalina called the experience “super” and appreciated the friendly, knowledgeable captain—a hint that you’ll be well cared for during your voyage.
Next, you’ll glide toward the Blue Lagoon, famed for its turquoise waters and tranquility. Unlike crowded day trips, this private cruise allows you to enjoy the lagoon in peace, with plenty of time to swim, snorkel, or just relax on deck. You’ll love the way the crystal-clear water looks like something from the movies—a perfect backdrop for photos or unwinding.
The hidden caves and coves along the Maltese coast are another highlight. The boat navigates along the picturesque coastline, revealing secret spots that most visitors never see. For snorkelers, the snorkeling equipment (masks and snorkels) included makes exploring the underwater marine life effortless. As Lucy put it, “All 6 of us had a great time,” which indicates this trip hits the mark for groups seeking fun and relaxation.
Finally, a mention of Gozo—a quieter, more rural island—completes the experience. Though not specifically detailed in the reviews, the inclusion of Gozo offers a chance to see a different side of Malta, with its rural charm and less touristy vibe.
What the Experience Feels Like
Imagine dancing to your favorite tunes with the Bluetooth speaker, feeling the breeze and sunshine, or simply floating in the serene waters of the lagoon. We loved the way the luxury comfort features—like ample seating and shaded areas—make this trip suitable for a relaxing day, not just sightseeing. The safety equipment reassures, especially if you’re traveling with children or less confident swimmers.
The skipper’s authority to adjust routes or cancel due to weather is a responsible practice, though it does mean your itinerary might change. We recommend arriving early at the departure point to maximize your time on board. The friendly reviews suggest that the skipper’s expertise and attitude greatly enhance the experience.
