What to Expect from the Private Speedboat Tour

We’ll start with a quick meet-up near the Cirkewwa cafe, where the skipper will be waiting. This is a relaxed start that sets the tone for the whole trip—casual, personal, and flexible. The boat itself is a 26-foot vessel equipped with twin Yamaha engines, designed for both speed and stability. That means you can comfortably cruise along Malta’s coast, soaking in sights without feeling tossed around.

The itinerary is well-paced for a two-hour trip, giving you plenty of time for multiple stops and sightseeing. The first stop will be Saint Mary’s Tower, a photo-worthy historic site that also offers a chance to get your bearings and enjoy some scenic views. From there, the boat heads to the Blue Lagoon, where you’ll have about 45 minutes for swimming and snorkeling in crystal-clear waters. This part is usually a hit—people love the calm, turquoise bays for floating, cooling off, and snapping some great photos.

Next, you’ll pass by Cominotto Reef, a popular spot for sightseeing and quick photo stops, followed by a visit to Alex’s Cave, which is often remarked upon as a lesser-known but equally impressive sea cave. The tour then makes its way to the Crystal Lagoon, the second major swimming stop, offering another 45 minutes for relaxing in its inviting waters.

Finally, the boat heads back to Cirkewwa, giving you a chance to unwind, chat with your skipper, and take in the scenic coastline during the cruise back. Throughout, the experience is tailored for comfort—there’s shaded seating, beach noodles for floating, and a Bluetooth sound system for your favorite tunes. The boat fees, lagoon entrances, and fuel are included, which simplifies planning.

What Makes This Tour Stand Out

One of the things travelers consistently mention is the exclusivity of a private tour. Unlike large group trips, you won’t be battling for space or fighting to get good photos. Instead, you get a personal experience that can be adjusted on the fly—if you want more swimming or less sightseeing, just ask the skipper.

The stunning scenery is a major draw. The blue waters of the lagoons are as beautiful as you hope, and the caves provide a bit of adventure and exploration. Reviewers often comment on the “breathtaking views” and “crystal-clear waters,” which keep the experience fresh and memorable.

Many appreciate the ease of the boat setup—with shade, sunbathing areas, and music, it’s a comfortable way to spend a few hours out on the water. It’s especially suited for small groups wanting intimacy and flexibility. The price point at $253 for up to 12 people seems reasonable, considering you get a private vessel with a local skipper, fuel, and access to the main spots.

The Practical Side: Pros and Cons

While this experience offers a lot, it’s good to keep expectations realistic. The two-hour duration means it’s a quick trip—if you’re after a full day of exploring, this might feel a bit brief. Also, since weather can affect the route, stops like caves or swimming spots might be adjusted or skipped if conditions aren’t suitable.

Plus, some reviews mention the need to bring your own towels, sunblock, and swimsuits, as these aren’t included. The tour provides essentials like life jackets and snorkeling masks with a small deposit, but you’ll want to pack the basics.

Finally, this tour isn’t recommended for people with motion sickness, so if that’s a concern, consider your options. The boat is designed for stability, but the speed and open water might be uncomfortable for sensitive travelers.

Is It Worth the Price?

At $253 for a private two-hour trip, the value depends on what you’re after. For a personalized, scenic cruise with plenty of photo opportunities and the convenience of a small group, it’s quite competitive. You’re paying for exclusivity, comfort, and flexibility—things that often come at a premium in Malta.

If you’re traveling with friends or a partner who values privacy and the ability to customize the day, most find this cost justified. It’s also a good choice if avoiding crowds is a priority, especially during peak season. Plus, the ease of having all the logistics handled—fuel, fees, and a local guide—adds to the appeal.
