Private Charter to Comino & Surroundings: A Luxurious Day on the Mediterranean
Imagine a full day where you’re the captain of your own unfolding adventure, sailing past Malta’s stunning coastline on a sleek, spacious catamaran. For around $1,333 per group—up to 17 people—you get 8 hours of personalized maritime luxury. This is not your average boat trip; it’s a private, tailor-made experience designed for comfort, exploration, and a touch of indulgence.
What caught our eye immediately is the high-end Lagoon 39 catamaran—a vessel that balances performance with comfort. Its performance sailing features, like high sails and a flybridge steering station, promise easy handling and stability, making the journey smooth even if you’re new to boating. We also like the fact that this isn’t just about sightseeing; it’s about relaxing and enjoying the sea with supplies and amenities included, from paddleboards to snorkeling masks and a Bluetooth sound system for your personalized playlist.
A potential consideration is that this experience isn’t suitable for everyone—if you or your companions have mobility issues, back problems, or are prone to seasickness, this might not be the best fit. Also, while bringing your own food and drinks is welcomed, it’s worth noting that meals aren’t included, so you’ll need to plan for that.
This tour suits travelers who want an exclusive, flexible day on the water—families, friends, or groups celebrating special occasions will find it especially appealing. It’s perfect if you’re craving comfort, privacy, and a beautiful setting to unwind or explore.

Exploring the Experience: A Deep Dive into the Day
When you step onto the pontoon at Roland Marina in Ta’Xbiex, you’re stepping into a scene of nautical elegance. The Lagoon 39 catamaran greets you with its sleek, modern design, promising a day of smooth sailing. The boat’s balanced sail plan and gull-wing bridge deck make maneuvering straightforward, giving even novice sailors ease of control. The inside spaces are spacious, with comfortable cabins and a well-thought-out living area—great for relaxing away from the sun or enjoying snacks mid-journey.
The Itinerary: From Malta to Comino and Beyond
The tour begins at 10 ix-Xatt Ta’ Xbiex—a convenient location close to many accommodations and easy to reach. From here, the captain sets sail along Malta’s enchanting coastline, heading toward Comino, renowned for its Crystal Lagoon and peaceful atmosphere. While the exact stops can be tailored, most guests anticipate spending quality time swimming, snorkeling, and paddling on the supplied boards.
The highlight for many is the chance to snorkel in clear waters, observing marine life or simply floating in the calm sea. The snorkeling masks are provided, and the stand-up paddleboards add an active element, perfect for exploring quieter coves or just having fun on the water. We loved the fact that the boat’s sound system connects via Bluetooth, so you can set your own playlist and create a lively or relaxing soundtrack for the day.
The boat’s large deck provides ample space for sunbathing, socializing, or simply gazing at the coastlines of Malta, Gozzo, and Comino. It’s a setting that encourages a sense of privacy and luxury—you won’t be sharing the space with strangers, but rather enjoying your friends or family in a comfortable, intimate environment.
The Food and Beverage Options
While food and drinks aren’t included in the price, you’re encouraged to bring your own or select from the provided catering options. The boat is equipped with fridges for keeping perishables cool, so bringing fresh fruit, sandwiches, or chilled drinks is straightforward. We recommend planning ahead for meals, especially if you want to avoid the cost of last-minute options.
