You step aboard in Sliema as the town hums behind you—promenade cafés shrink into a line of rooftops, and the boat slips into the bright Maltese sea. The sun slants across the harbor and the skipper guides the hull north past St. Julian’s and Mellieħa, the coastline unfolding like a map of limestone and sea.

You step aboard in Sliema as the town hums behind you—promenade cafés shrink into a line of rooftops, and the boat slips into the bright Maltese sea. The sun slants across the harbor and the skipper guides the hull north past St. Julian’s and Mellieħa, the coastline unfolding like a map of limestone and sea.
Comino sits between Malta and Gozo as a small, wind-tough island of sheer rock, low scrub and clear-water coves. The Blue Lagoon’s shallow, aquamarine shallows owe their color to sandy bottoms and submerged limestone benches carved by sea and time; nearby St. Nicholas (Crystal) Lagoon is a more sheltered pocket with cliff shelves and swim-from-boat access. History is visible in small ways—the 17th-century watchtower on Comino and St. Paul’s story at nearby islands remind visitors this is a sea lane with centuries of maritime travel.
Practically, this is a relaxed boat day with two main stopping options: off-season (Nov–May) you get a long Blue Lagoon stay; summer schedules (May–Oct) split time between Crystal Lagoon (brief) and 3.5 hours at Blue Lagoon. Expect swimming, snorkeling, sunbathing on the boat or a short beach visit if you pre-register for a shore slot (QR pass required). Bring reef shoes for rocky entries, sun protection, and a small dry bag. Weather and sea conditions control stops, the skipper decides safety, and the boat includes playful extras like a water slide on calmer days.
Timing tip: arrive 30 minutes early to board, keep valuables secure, and plan transport back to Sliema for evening plans. The trip is straightforward, scenic, and built around getting you into the water and into Comino’s striking coastal light.
Yes—if you want to go ashore at Blue Lagoon you must register for a free QR shore slot at blcomino.com and select the correct afternoon window; otherwise the boat acts as your base.
No—stops at Crystal Lagoon/St. Nicholas Bay run May–October and are weather dependent; the skipper will skip it if sea conditions are unsafe.
Most day cruise boats have basic toilets and may sell snacks or drinks, but bring water and any personal snacks you need for the day.
The cruise is generally family-friendly, but boarding, ladder access for swimming, and moving on deck require some mobility—check with the operator for specific accessibility needs.
Luzzu Cruises operates guided outdoor trips and adventures with an emphasis on safety, stewardship, and memorable experiences.
