Private Boat Charter from Gozo to Comino and the Blue Lagoon — Snorkel Crystal Lagoon
Step aboard a private 22ft boat for two concentrated hours across Gozo and Comino’s finest bays. Swim, snorkel, and float in the Blue Lagoon and Crystal Lagoon with a local captain guiding you to quieter anchorages.
The Experience
Before You Go
Go early to avoid crowds
Depart in the morning when winds are lighter and Blue Lagoon is quieter for clearer water and better snorkeling visibility.
Use reef‑safe sunscreen
Protect the Posidonia seagrass and marine life by applying reef-safe sunscreen before boarding and reapply sparingly while onshore.
Store valuables dry
Bring a waterproof bag or use the boat’s dry storage to protect phones and cameras from splashes and spray.
Mind the boat step
The low freeboard makes boarding easy but uneven — move deliberately and hold the rail when getting on or off the boat.

Conservation Note
The area’s Posidonia meadows are ecologically fragile; use reef‑safe sunscreen, avoid anchoring on seagrass when possible, and pack out all trash.
Comino was historically used as a quarantine and watch post by the Knights and later authorities; its sparse settlement and towers speak to a strategic maritime past.
