Details
If you want to visit Malta in an innovative way, our gulet boat trip around Malta with stops at Comino and Blue Lagoon from Sliema is perfect for you. You will sail on board a traditional Turkish gullet that will take you to the most beautiful places on our wonderful island. You will swim, enjoy the buffet, and take countless photographs that you will always carry with you.
After leaving Sliema behind us, we will sail along the coast to take in the many quaint villages. We will pass by the beautiful St. Thomas Bay with its white cliffs, the traditional fishing village of Marsaxlokk, the breathtaking Blue Grotto and then the impressive Dingli Cliffs and Popeye Village. Upon reaching the bay of Fomm il-Rih we will stop the gulet, and you can dive, swim and snorkel in the crystal-clear waters of this paradise on earth. The stop will last about two hours, and you can choose to spend it exploring the seabed, sunbathing or enjoying the offered rich buffet.
Once we have departed, we will head for Comino Island and the world-famous Blue Lagoon, where we will make an additional 2-hour stop. Here you can spend your free time swimming in the brilliant waters or strolling around the island, a small jewel whose nature is still unspoilt and of rare beauty. On the way back, you can admire Mellieha Bay, the St. Pauls Islands, Qawra, and St. Julians before disembarking in Sliema where our trip comes to an end.

In line with new regulations issued by the Government of Malta, all visitors wishing to access the Blue Lagoon on Comino Island must obtain a free entry pass in advance. This requirement takes effect from May, 19th 2025 and applies to all visitors. Passes can be booked through the official website: www.blcomino.com. You’ll need to choose a time slot: morning, afternoon or evening. Make sure you pick the right one based on your tour schedule.
Please note that without a valid pass, disembarkation onto the island is not permitted under any circumstances. If you are unable to obtain a pass or prefer not to go ashore, you are welcome to remain on the boat during the stop at the Blue Lagoon.
This is a government-mandated regulation and not a policy introduced by us. We appreciate your understanding and strongly recommend securing your free pass in advance to ensure a smooth and enjoyable experience.
