You step onto warm teak at Sliema quay as the Fernandes gul e t breathes steam and canvas into a clear Mediterranean morning. The Strand slips away and the island cliffs of northeast Malta open like a map of inlets and limestone terraces. Gulls wheel; the boat's engine hums into a slower, salt-sanded rhythm.

You step onto warm teak at Sliema quay as the Fernandes gul e t breathes steam and canvas into a clear Mediterranean morning. The Strand slips away and the island cliffs of northeast Malta open like a map of inlets and limestone terraces. Gulls wheel; the boat's engine hums into a slower, salt-sanded rhythm.
This day cruise threads history and geology — Malta's fossil-rich Globigerina limestone cliffs, Bronze Age anchorages, and Gozo's rural chapels — into a straightforward sea route. Comino, once sparsely inhabited for quarantine and smuggling, now draws swimmers to the Blue Lagoon's calcium-rich seabed and startling clarity. Gozo offers a quieter contrast: scrubby cliffs, secluded bays and stone cottages that speak to island farming and fishing traditions.
Practically, the Fernandes departs Sliema mid-morning and returns late afternoon, with roughly 90 minutes each at a secluded Gozo bay and Comino's Blue Lagoon for swimming, snorkeling or sunbathing. Hot-and-cold buffet lunch and an open bar (beer, wine, soft drinks, water) are served on board; restrooms are available. Land transfers from many Malta pick-up points are included, making logistics simple for visitors island-hopping from Valletta or Sliema.
Bring swimwear, reef-safe sunscreen and a towel; wear non-slip deck shoes for boarding. If you’re prone to motion sickness, take precautions — the channel can be exposed. Respect the water: avoid stepping on seagrass and carry out any trash. The day is straightforward, social and scenic — a practical, low-effort way to sample Malta’s best coves in one long Mediterranean afternoon.
Departure from Sliema quay is around 10:00hrs and the boat returns to Sliema by approximately 17:30hrs; your pick‑up time from accommodation will be confirmed after booking.
Yes — a hot and cold buffet lunch plus an open bar with unlimited beer, wine, water and soft drinks are included; morning and afternoon snacks are served as well.
Yes — you’ll have about 90 minutes at a secluded Gozo bay and 90 minutes at Comino’s Blue Lagoon for swimming and snorkeling; bring your own mask/snorkel if you prefer.
