Exclusive Catamaran Charter

Malta’s best-kept secret: a luxurious day at sea aboard a stunning catamaran. For around $1,816 per group (up to 14 people), you’ll spend 8 hours exploring the coastlines and crystal-clear waters of Malta, Comino, and Gozo. Your journey includes stops at the famous Blue Lagoon and other scenic bays, with plenty of opportunities to swim, snorkel, and soak up the sun.

What makes this experience truly stand out are the modern, luxurious amenities onboard—a sleek catamaran equipped with a sound system, paddleboards, snorkel gear, inflatables, and even a BBQ grill. Plus, the flexibility to bring your own food and drinks or opt for catering makes it feel more like a private yacht than a typical boat trip.

The only thing to keep in mind is that this tour is best suited for groups of friends or family looking for a high-end, relaxed day on the water. It’s not ideal for those with mobility issues, as it involves boarding a sizable boat and swimming in open water.

Itinerary Breakdown: What To Expect

Sailing along Malta’s stunning coastlines is, in itself, a treat. The boat departs from the selected location and begins with a gentle cruise, offering fantastic views of the rugged cliffs, charming harbors, and historic sites along the Maltese shoreline.

Stop at the Blue Lagoon on Comino: This is undoubtedly the highlight. The calm, crystal-clear waters here are perfect for swimming and snorkeling. As one reviewer notes: “The Blue Lagoon is simply breathtaking, and the water was the perfect temperature for swimming.” The lagoon’s vibrant marine life and translucent waters make it a favorite among travelers.

Additional bay stops: The route may include other scenic bays around Malta and Gozo, such as secluded coves or scenic beaches. These stops allow for swimming, snorkeling, and relaxing on the boat’s shaded areas. The flexibility of the route means that your skipper, often a local expert, can tailor the stops based on weather and your preferences.

Onboard amenities: During the day, you will have unlimited soft drinks and water, along with the possibility of ordering food. The boat’s BBQ grill offers a great way to enjoy grilled meats or local specialties if you choose to indulge.

Relaxation and entertainment: The onboard sound system lets you tune into your favorite tunes, adding a lively vibe to your cruise. Many reviewers appreciate this personal touch, as it makes the experience feel more like a private party.

Authentic Marine Adventure

What sets this tour apart is the combination of exploration and comfort. The professional skipper ensures safety while providing local insights about the coastline, bays, and marine life. We loved the way they balanced being informative with giving guests space to relax.

The snorkeling equipment provided allows you to see the colorful fish and marine flora beneath the surface. The inclusion of paddleboards and inflatables offers additional fun, especially if you’re traveling with adventurous kids or young-at-heart adults.

The boat’s WiFi is an unexpected bonus, allowing you to share your experiences in real time or check in with loved ones.

Practical Details and Considerations

Two aspects of this tour stand out regarding value. First, the all-inclusive nature—fuel, cleaning, soft drinks, and equipment—means you won’t be hit with hidden costs during or after the trip. Second, the flexibility of departure points makes it accessible whether you’re staying in Malta, Bugibba, or Gozitan ports, though additional fees may apply for these alternatives.

The price point of $1,816 for up to 14 guests, breaks down to roughly $130 per person, which is competitive considering the luxury level and all inclusions. For families or groups celebrating something special, this cost can seem reasonable for a private, bespoke day at sea.

Timing is key—departing at 10 am and returning at 6 pm allows plenty of daylight for swimming, sunbathing, and sightseeing. Keep in mind, however, that the 8-hour duration means you should be prepared for a full day out—bring sun protection, swimwear, and a camera.
