Full-Day Private Charter to Blue Lagoon, Crystal Lagoon & Gozo Caves
Spend a private seven-hour day cruising Comino and Gozo: snorkel crystal lagoons, swim through caves used in film, and stop for seafood in Mġarr. This hands-on charter mixes sheltered bays with reef and wreck snorkeling for a complete Maltese seascape experience.
The Experience
Before You Go
Book early for July–August
Peak summer fills the Blue Lagoon with day boats; reserve a private charter well in advance to secure your preferred pickup and itinerary.
Bring reef-safe sunscreen and water shoes
Limestone shelves and rocky beaches are common; reef-safe sunscreen protects marine life and water shoes give traction when entering from rocks.
Plan your lunch stop in Mġarr
Mġarr’s waterfront restaurants serve fresh seafood and are within walking distance of the quay—ideal if you prefer an onshore meal over onboard BBQ.
Listen to your guide for cave entries
Some caves have narrow swim-throughs and currents; the crew will pick safe entry points and accompany swimmers when needed.
Local Knowledge
Hidden Gems
- •Small sandy pocket beaches just outside the Blue Lagoon that are quieter by mid-afternoon

Conservation Note
The Blue Lagoon is environmentally sensitive—avoid anchoring on seagrass, use reef-safe sunscreen, and carry out all waste to reduce impact on marine habitats.
Comino and Gozo have long maritime histories—Mġarr developed as a key ferry and fishing port, and several sea caves were used historically for shelter and later became scenic film locations.
