Malta:Blue Lagoon, Comino & Gozo Private Boat Cruise & Trips

If you’re dreaming of a relaxed day exploring Malta’s most iconic spots by boat, this private trip with SunReel could be just what you need. It’s a chance to escape the crowds, enjoy the crystal-clear waters, and see some of Malta’s best-kept secrets—all from the comfort of a private boat, tailored just for you.

Two things we especially like about this experience are its personalized touch—you’re on a private boat with your own captain—and the stunning panoramic views that make every photo worth framing.

Still, if you’re craving an exclusive, flexible day on the water, this could be a perfect fit. It’s ideal for travelers who value privacy, comfort, and a bit of adventure, whether you’re a couple, a small family, or a group of friends.

What to Expect from the Private Malta Boat Trip

This isn’t your typical group tour. Instead, it’s a highly customizable private voyage where your comfort and preferences come first. The boat is exclusively yours, with just you, your group, and the captain. This means you can decide whether to relax, snorkel, or explore. The captain’s local knowledge adds value, helping you make the most of each stop.

The boat is equipped with modern amenities—snorkeling gear, floaties, an ice box for drinks, a Bluetooth stereo, USB charging, and a shower. Everything is geared towards creating a comfortable and fun environment for a day out on the water. Fuel is included in the price, so there are no surprise costs on that front.

What’s really nice is the option to choose your pickup point—either Cirkewwa Malta or Mgarr Harbour in Gozo. This flexibility makes planning easier, especially if you’re staying nearby or want to start from a specific location.

The Itinerary and Key Stops

The tour begins at your chosen pickup point, and from there, the key highlights are the stops at Blue Lagoon and Crystal Lagoon. These spots are famous for their extraordinarily clear waters, perfect for swimming, floating, or just relaxing on the boat.

Blue Lagoon and Crystal Lagoon

Most travelers are drawn here for the stunning scenery and the opportunity to dip into water so clear it feels like swimming in a postcard. We loved the way the boat allows you to get right into the water, thanks to the bathing ladder and snorkeling gear. The reviews mention that the views are breathtaking, and many appreciated the calm, inviting waters.

Comino and Gozo

Depending on your preferences or weather conditions, your captain might suggest exploring other areas or beaches. The flexibility means your experience can be adjusted on the fly, optimizing for the best weather or your interests.

Final Drop-offs

You’ll be returned to one of three drop-off points: Fisheries Office, Cirkewwa Cafe, or Cirkewwa Cafe again. This makes logistical planning straightforward, especially if you’re planning a day around other activities.

What Travelers Say

People generally find the experience well worth the cost. “We loved the personalized touch and the amazing views,” one reviewer said, highlighting the lack of crowds and the ease of snorkeling in the clear waters. Others appreciated the comfort onboard, mentioning the Bluetooth stereo and ice box as perfect touches for a relaxing day.

Some noted that, since it’s a private tour, timing can be flexible, which is a huge plus for those wanting a laid-back experience. The ability to customize the trip based on weather or mood was also a common highlight.

Who Is This Tour Best For?

This trip is perfect if you’re someone who appreciates privacy and flexibility and wants a more intimate experience with Malta’s waters. It’s also a good choice for small groups or couples wanting a special day without the noise and chaos of larger tours. While it’s not specifically marketed as family-friendly, the amenities and relaxed pace could suit families with older children, especially if you’re comfortable on boats.

However, it’s not suitable for people with mobility impairments, given the nature of boat boarding and movement.

Price and Value

At $231 for a group of up to 8, the cost might seem higher than some shared tours, but remember, you’re paying for exclusivity, comfort, and flexibility. The included amenities—snorkeling gear, paddleboards, floaties, refreshments—add value, especially since port fees and safety equipment are covered.

If you’re after a luxurious, personalized experience on Malta’s waters, this price feels justified. For travelers on a tighter budget, there are other options, but they’ll likely lack the intimacy and customization offered here.

Final Thoughts

This private boat trip with SunReel offers a wonderful way to explore Malta’s stunning coastlines and waters without the crowds. The focus on privacy, personalized stops, and comfort makes it stand out from standard group tours. If you’re someone who values a relaxed, flexible day with incredible scenery, you’ll find this trip well worth the investment.

While it’s not the cheapest Malta experience, the quality of amenities, the flexibility of the itinerary, and the chance to see some of Malta’s most beautiful spots in a private setting create a compelling package. It’s best suited for travelers who want a bit of luxury and are happy to pay for exclusivity.

Whether you’re celebrating something special or just want a memorable day on the water, this tour offers a peaceful escape with views that will stay with you long after you leave Malta.
