Malta’s coastline is best seen from the water. Whether you want the famous Blue Lagoon swim, a private charter around Comino, or a romantic sunset sail past Valletta’s bastions, a boat trip is one of the highest-value days on a Malta holiday.
1. Comino & Blue Lagoon shared cruises
The classic choice for first-timers. Shared boats usually include swim stops at the Blue Lagoon and often Crystal Lagoon or caves. Go early to avoid peak crowds in July and August.

2. Private boat charters
Ideal for couples and families who want to control timing. Private boats can linger at quieter coves when day-trippers pack the main lagoon pontoons.

3. Sunset cruises
Shorter evening sails along Sliema, St Julian’s or Grand Harbour. Perfect if you’ve already done a daytime lagoon trip.
Practical tips
- Book summer weekends ahead — popular morning departures sell out
- Bring reef-safe sunscreen, water shoes and a light cover-up
- Check whether hotel pickup and snorkel gear are included
