Details
If you want to spend a day sailing in style, our gulet boat trip to 3 Bays with stops at the Blue Lagoon and Comino from Sliema is perfect for you. We’ll depart from Sliema and head directly to the island of Comino. Depending on weather conditions, our first stop will be either the stunning Crystal Lagoon or Santa Maria Bay. You’ll have time to swim in crystal-clear waters, relax on board, or simply enjoy the spectacular surroundings.
Around 1 pm, we’ll berth at the famous Blue Lagoon, where you’ll have the option to disembark and explore the island. Please note: a QR code will be required if you wish to get off the boat. While on board, you’ll have access to all amenities, including a bar serving snacks and drinks, fresh water showers, toilettes, sun mats, and optional snorkeling equipment for rent.
A delicious lunch will be served on board, making this cruise not only scenic but also satisfying. After a day spent between sea, sun, and nature, we’ll return to Sliema, where the trip concludes.

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.
