Boat Trips & Cruises in Malta

Last updated: January 2026

A boat day is one of the best uses of time in Malta. It compresses multiple highlights—coastline views, swim stops, and island access—into one clean plan. The key is choosing the right trip type.

Choose your boat day by goal

• Classic swim day: focused on clear-water stops and time in the sea.
• Comino-focused day: built around the Blue Lagoon rules and timing.
• Gozo + Comino combo: more coverage, less swim time (good if you want variety).
• Sunset cruise: strong visuals, lower heat, good for a calmer vibe.

What to check before booking

• Departure point (match it to where you stay)
• Duration (half-day vs full day changes your whole schedule)
• Swim stop timing (early stops usually feel better)
• What’s included (drinks, equipment, or none)
• Blue Lagoon access (if landing is part of the plan, you must follow the system)

Best planning move

Anchor your day around the boat trip. Don’t stack heavy city plans before it. You want energy, not fatigue.

Boat day checklist

• Water, sun protection, towel
• Swim shoes if you’re sensitive to rocky spots
• Power bank for confirmations and transport
• Light food plan (avoid heavy meals before intense sun)
