An In-Depth Look at the Private Boat Experience in Malta & Comino

Starting Point and Ease of Access

We loved the easy-to-locate meeting point in Mellieha Bay. This area is well-known and accessible, meaning you won’t spend extra time fussing over complicated arrangements. Mellieha itself is a popular hub, with plenty of nearby amenities, so arriving there is straightforward whether you’re staying locally or coming from elsewhere on the island.

The Boat: Comfort and Style

The vessel, Ilver Mirable, feels more like a floating boutique than a typical charter boat. Crafted in Italy, it’s designed for both style and comfort, with ample space for sunbathing, relaxing in the shade, or socializing. The boat’s features—bathroom, outdoor shower, and safety equipment—add practicality to the luxury. Plus, with a full tank of fuel and water included, you won’t need to worry about extra costs or refueling during your day.

Exploring Malta’s Coastal Gems

Your captain, whose name might be shared upon booking, will guide you through the scenic coastlines and natural caves starting from Mellieha. We appreciated how the itinerary is not rigid—you have the freedom to suggest stops or follow the captain’s recommendations. Highlights include visiting caves accessible only by boat, which adds an element of adventure, and stopping at popular swimming spots like Santa Maria Bay and the Crystal Lagoon.

Swimming and Water Activities

The Blue Lagoon in Comino is the star of this trip. Its clear, shallow waters make for excellent snorkelling and paddling—especially with the gear provided. We loved the way the boat’s equipment, including snorkelling sets and the option for a stand-up paddleboard on request, encourages active exploration. As one reviewer noted, “we loved the way we could just jump in and explore at our own pace.”

Food and Drinks

While the boat doesn’t provide food, a fridge is available for your own supplies, and the crew can recommend a seaside restaurant for lunch. Bringing your own provisions allows for a personalized picnic—maybe some local snacks or a bottle of wine. It’s important to plan ahead, especially if you’re hungry after swimming or exploring caves. The flexibility here means you can choose a casual on-board meal or sit at a charming seaside café.

Safety and Comfort

Safety is clearly a priority, with full safety equipment onboard. We also appreciated the outdoor shower, perfect for rinsing off salt and sand after swimming. The boat’s spacious layout ensures everyone has room to relax, whether lying in the sun or seeking shade.

The Experience Itself

According to travelers’ reviews, the private nature of the tour makes a big difference. One said, “It’s wonderful to have the boat entirely to ourselves, with no pressure or schedule—just do what we want.” The 7-hour duration provides enough time to see several spots comfortably without feeling rushed. The live English-speaking guide ensures you get personalized attention and local insights.

Value for Money

At roughly $1,589 for up to 8 people, this experience offers excellent value, especially considering the exclusivity, all-inclusiveness, and flexibility. Large group tours often lack this level of personalization, making this a top choice for families or friends seeking a more intimate adventure.
