This excursion was perfect! The communication was excellent. Viator set up a transfer to get us to the boat trip. Our Skipper Laura was fantastic! We are still talking about the crystal clear waters, caves and the beauty that we saw! We even were able to have a quick drink by the water in Gozo. If you want an unforgettable adventure, book this excursion!

What an incredible day! We had such a perfect boat day with Habib, our skipper. He was informative and brought us to many beautiful caves & areas to swim. We also got picked up from the cruise port and were connected with a wonderful taxi driver Kevin, who basically gave us a tour of Malta with helpful information! Such a perfect day all around.

    Great company! Janet and Sam answered all of my questions quickly-very responsive, helpful and professional. The trip was exactly what I wanted-3 hours long and Captain Ginger made sure I saw everything I had hoped and wanted to see. He was a great tour guide and boat captain. I highly recommend the company and Captain Ginger! You will not be disappointed.

    Great Day on the water

    Jaime_K, Jul 2026
    We had a great time. It was the perfect excursion for us since we were only in Malta for the day. The boat was perfect and the driver was very knowledgeable about the area.

    Wonderful morning!

    Julie_M, Jul 2026
    Amazing morning! Highly recommend Justin as your skipper! He made the morning fun and he was very knowledgeable of the islands and the area. We were lucky enough that because there was a little bit of wind, there weren’t that many boats out this morning. It made for a choppy ride into the Blue Lagoon, and the current was really strong so we opted just to cruise in and then head over to Crystal Cove to hang a little while longer. We had already swam at two other locations so we liked just hanging out and chatting with Justin. Being it was a private boat tour, we didn’t have to worry about others and we did what we wanted to. Justin was fantastic!

    The water was incredibly...

    Jill_K, Jul 2026
    The water was incredibly beautiful and worth the trip. It was extremely crowded and boats fly in and out of the lagoon quickly. The boat over to Comino was farely small.

    Terrific Experience to See the Malta Coast

    Ashley_H, Jul 2026
    This was such a fun way to see the coast of Malta. They arranged a taxi for us, which made it easy to get to the boat and back (the taxi is an hour ride each way, for your planning). Joe was our driver and terrific! He took us to beautiful spots to swim, take pictures and told us about Malta. There’s even another boat that comes by with drinks and ice cream for purchase so we all got some. An amazing day on the clearest water I’ve ever seen, we even got to snorkel (Joe had masks for us). The private boat was the way to go for us - would do it again in a second!

    It was amazing from...

    Jessica_C, Jul 2026
    It was amazing from beginning to end. They were immediately communicative and kept in touch until the second we boarded the private boat. They easily arranged transportation for us to the bay where the ship departed. On the boat, Jimmy, our skipper, was FABULOUS!!! He was attentive to our safety as well as our desire for entertainment and learning about the sites.

    Amazing day!

    Evan_B, Jul 2026
    We had an amazing experience on our half day boat tour and would highly recommend for anyone wishing to have a unique experience on the waters of Malta. Our skipper, Ginger, was excellent - highly knowledgeable, friendly and engaging. He shared lots of interesting commentary on the islands and caves we visited and made sure our drinks were cold and we were comfortable the entire time. A+ job by Ginger and 10/10 recommend!

    The tour operator...

    Audrey_F, Jul 2026
    The tour operator provided a lot of detailed information beforehand, such as info on parking and what’s included or not. The private boat was a great way to see the sites at your own pace and with fewer crowds. The main negative was that our tour was scheduled for 7:30am (an early morning to beat crowds) but the boat didn’t get to the dock until 8:15am. The captain kept saying they were 10min away so we never settled down and got coffee or anything for the wait, so I would have preferred transparency with the delayed start time instead. They did ensure we got the full 3 hours with the delayed start time still but this wasn’t a great way to start off.

    Response from Host, Jul 2026

    Hi Audrey, this is Janet. Thank you so much for your thoughtful review and for choosing us for your private boat trip to Comino. We're delighted to hear that you appreciated the communication before the trip and enjoyed exploring the Blue Lagoon, Crystal Lagoon, and Comino at your own pace away from the larger crowds. That's exactly what we hope our private boat tours provide. We sincerely apologise for the delayed departure. Unfortunately, the skipper was held up due to an unexpected situation in the marina that morning and wanted to arrange it himself and communication to you instead of informing me to call you and explain. We completely understand that waiting without clear timing can be frustrating, and we appreciate your feedback We're pleased that you still enjoyed the full 3-hour private boat charter. Thank you again for your valuable feedback. We hope to have the pleasure of welcoming you back for another unforgettable private boat tour around Comino, the Blue Lagoon, Crystal Lagoon, and Malta's beautiful coastline in the future. ☀️🚤

    Great experience. We...

    Scott_A, Jul 2026
    Great experience. We hired a private boat for the 2 of us and it was totally worth it. Met our captain, Bufon, shortly after arriving on Gozo via ferry. We got to the Blue Lagoon around 8 and pretty much had the place to ourselves. Beautiful and peaceful. We got to go on the island to take pics of the lagoon before it was mobbed. At one point we saw a double decker catamaran that was just packed with people. I don't see how you can have anything other than a party type vibe if you do it that way. It was so peaceful with just us and our captain cruising around the beautiful turquoise waters, swimming/snorkeling whenever we wanted for as long as we wanted.

    Jaime_B, Jun 2026
    Our family of five had a fabulous time with Habib. His experience as a skipper was evident so that made us feel very safe, and know that we were in capable hands. He catered our time to our desires and made sure that we saw all the desired spots. Janet and Sam also pre arranged transportation from the cruise port for us which was amazing and stress free. We have lasting memories from this excuse and highly recommended it!

    Courtney_L, Jun 2026
    Chris was our skipper and AMAZING. He showed us all the best place to see and to swim. He scheduled our taxi service from the cruise port, and everything was so smooth! Our children are ages 7 and 11 and they said this was the best day of our entire trip!!!

    Best skipper ever

    mary_h, Jun 2026
    the best skipper ever. - Zlatko customised the trip to our needs. - ie a peaceful cove to swim in and a nature / historical focus for the trip. (. although he did show us all the activity other people were up to) A great way to spend 3 hours. loved it

    Edward_F, Jun 2026
    Lovely boat and extremely friendly, capable and flexible captain. Highly recommend for a nice half-day on the water. Do note, you have to get yourself to Cirkewwa, which is a hike from Valetta, Sliema etc., and an additional cost.

    Miles_R, Jun 2026
    Laura was a fantastic host and skipper, 100% focused on ensuring we enjoyed every minute of our 3 hour boat trip. She had a great structure to our tour, but constantly checked in to see whether we wanted to flex where we stopped, how long we stayed for etc., which meant we had a very personalised trip we thoroughly enjoyed. Laura shared just the right level of local insight, history and knowledge along the way. A super afternoon, I would highly recommend.

    Beauty on the water

    Sanjana_N, Jun 2026
    Make sure to confirm your pick up spot-it may not be the same as the listing on Viator! However, once we got out there, it was all top notch and truly incredible. Great captain! I even got to climb through a cave and swim back to the boat.

    Fantastic day at sea in Malta

    Ken_M, Jun 2026
    Asep was a great host and a very safe boat driver. We had a fantastic day, one of our favorite days of the whole trip. The sites were beautiful and everything went perfectly according to schedule. We also had Simon as our driver from the cruise port to the boat and he did an excellent job as well.

    Janet_B, Jun 2026
    Highlight of our trip to Malta! Our Skipper, Zlatko, was the best!! He was so informative, friendly, and fun. He brought us to the best private places to swim as well as Blue Lagoon and let us decide how much time we wanted to spend at each place.

    Private boat cruise

    Bonnie_A, Jun 2026
    Be sure to bring a swimsuit and towels and sunscreen for this ride. Be sure to bring extra money for the fuel surcharge not sure why that’s necessary.

    boat trip with Captain Zlatko

    evonne_g, May 2026
    Zlatko, our captain, took us to the best spots. He was engaged and very professional. Definitely worthwhile thing to do in Malta.

    Very nice tour and definitely worth it.

    Erin_Y, May 2026
    Communication was excellent from start to finish, and Captain Justin was right on time. He was friendly, fun, incredibly knowledgeable, and made the entire experience feel effortless. Not only is Justin a fantastic captain, but he’s also part paparazzi, part comedian, and an awesome tour guide! He anticipated our every need before we even had to ask and made the day so memorable.
