We had a wonderful time on board. The captain and crew were so attentive, friendly and helpful. There were not too many spaces available on the excursion so it didn't feel crowded at all. We made use of the paddleboards and snorkel equipment provided when we stopped in both the Blue and Crystal Lagoons. So relaxing and peaceful.

It was a truly wonderful experience! The catamaran was beautiful, and we had plenty of room! The captain provided ample explanations about the trip, with a humorous touch :-) The staff was super friendly and regularly checked in to ask what we wanted to drink! It was a really enjoyable morning!

    This was an absolute highlight experience during our time in Malta! The catamaran was spacious and clean, the crew were super friendly and always offering to grab us another drink, and the views and stops were incredible! Highly recommend this trip for a half day cruise with all the perks.

    This catamaran tour in Malta was just the right length—very relaxing and enjoyable! The crew was great, and the scenery was beautiful. The water was a bit cool in October for me, but others had no problem jumping in. Highly recommend for a laid-back, scenic experience!

    A most wonderful afternoon in Malta. Water was cold, BUT on our ride back to dock we had a school of dolphins lead the way. Magical! Kids loved it.

    Beautiful and relaxing

    Lauren_H, May 2025
    100% book this trip. We originally had a larger boat booked (I think upto 100 people) and I’m so happy I saw this one instead before we travelled. The guys were amazing. We anchored at two stops and also went close to a beautiful cave. The water was so beautiful. SUPS were really fun, drinks flowing, tunes on. An amazing morning. Thank you 🥰

    Best decision to book this tour!

    Nicole_M, Apr 2025
    Wow, 5 stars! Captain and crew were so hospitable and kind, offering beverages and checking in on us. Small group experience, so I loved it! we could lounge anywhere on the catamaran. Great views, beautiful boat. Captain found us two nice stops, even though it was windy- we were in love with the crystal clear water and COLOR! Freezing cold plunge— but so invigorating to jump in and swim/snorkel- I swam at both spots! Would definitely say this was very memorable. Very happy with this choice- so glad we chose this tour over others! (Ps- they also answered a question I had the night before via the “contact your operator” option Viator has- which I was appreciate of!

    Amazing catamaran trip to Malta’s island Comino

    Susie_M, Apr 2025
    Amazing experience with friendly and professional crew. Very clean and comfortable catamaran took us to stunning bays around Comino with crystal turquoise waters

    Scenic and comfortable charter with amazing swimming opportunities

    Djamila_D, Nov 2024
    We were lucky enough to have the catamaran with only one other family which made the experience even more exclusive. Fantastic and knowledgeable crew, use of paddle boards and snorkels and generous snacks/drinks. Lovely smooth boat and perfect length of time at the swimming bays/coves. October trip so less busy and definitely a highlight of our holiday.

    Review of Catamaran Trip to the Blue Lagoon & Crystal Lagoon

    Coen_B, Oct 2024
    We recently took a catamaran trip to the Blue Lagoon and Crystal Lagoon in Malta, and it was an unforgettable experience! Sailing with a small group made it feel intimate and personalized, which was perfect for our family of six, including four kids aged 14, 12, 11, and 6. The Blue Lagoon was a bit crowded for our liking, but once we headed to the Crystal Lagoon, we were in awe of its stunning beauty. The crystal-clear waters were perfect for snorkeling, and the kids loved exploring the underwater world. The crew truly made the experience exceptional. They were incredibly helpful, sharing fascinating stories about the area and ensuring everyone felt comfortable and engaged. Their enthusiasm added so much to our trip. Overall, this catamaran adventure was a fantastic way to experience Malta's beautiful coast. We left with wonderful memories and a newfound love for snorkeling. Highly recommended!

    Awesome experience

    Adriana_D, Oct 2025
    The trip was beautiful! We were greeted and served very accommodatingly. The stops we made were beautiful! Only the toilet situation was unfavourable. Otherwise I can recommend this trip to anyone. Thank you so much!
