Trendy Group · Triq Ix-Xatt, Sliema
A 7-hour day on the Spirit of Malta, a big sailing catamaran out of Sliema, with swim stops in the bays of Malta and Comino and the Blue Lagoon when the weather allows. Pick it for the easy, all-in feel: lunch and the drinks are on board, and after lunch the music starts.
The Spirit of Malta leaves the Sliema seafront on Triq Ix-Xatt at 10:30 and is back at about 17:30. It is a large sailing catamaran, built for cruising, with toilets on board. There is no fixed programme: the crew choose the bays by the day's wind and sea, with swim and snorkel stops in Malta and Comino and a visit to the Blue Lagoon, weather permitting.
Lunch is a buffet served at one of the swim stops: turkey, smoked gammon and salami, cheddar and feta, bread rolls and a row of salads, from potato and pasta to bulgur wheat and rice salads marked vegetarian and a tomato and onion salad that is vegan. The open bar pours wine, beer, soft drinks and water through the day. After lunch the music goes up and the deck turns into a dance floor.
If you want to step ashore at the lagoon you need the free landing booking run by the Malta Tourism Authority (your boat's confirmation or listing gives the link). With no fixed programme, ask the operator after booking when the boat expects to be there and pick the slot that covers it. Hotel pickup and tips are not included, and the trip is for adults only: the listing says it is not suitable for anyone under 17. A friendly tip: bring a dry bag for your phone, because you will be in and out of the water all day.

★★★★★Really fun day on the water! Exactly what we were looking for and we got to see a dolphin :) Friendly staff and good food
★★★★★The boat was a lot of fun and the guides were great. Food and drink was very good also. Overall, a really fun time.
★★★★★A wonderful experience. From the relaxation during the transfers to the impeccable service of the staff, to the wonderful places where we could swim. [...] We wanted it to never end!
★★★★★We loved our experience! There is a 2-hour stop at the Blue Lagoon for swimming, and lunch is served there (mainly cold salads, which taste great in this setting). Then we stopped at the Crystal Lagoon for 1 hour. It's really worth swimming to the rocks, as it's very beautiful. [...]
