The Best Boat Trips in Malta

With its sheltered bays, sea caves and turquoise lagoons, Malta is made to be seen from the water. Whatever your budget, there’s a boat trip for you — here’s how to pick.

Blue Lagoon cruises

The classic. Most depart Sliema or Buġibba and time their arrival at the Blue Lagoon for the morning. Best for: first-time visitors.

Comino caves & Crystal Lagoon

Smaller boats nip into the sea caves around Comino and the quieter Crystal Lagoon next door. Best for: photographers and snorkelers who want to dodge the crowds.

Grand Harbour cruises

A gentle loop around Valletta’s Grand Harbour and the Three Cities, packed with history. Pairs perfectly with a Valletta walking tour. Best for: culture and easy sightseeing.

Private charters

For groups or special occasions, a private skipper lets you set your own route and timings. Best for: families and celebrations.
