Supreme Power Boats · Sliema Ferries, Sliema

Fast to Comino, slow at the lagoon

A 6-hour day from Sliema on a powerboat: a fast, music-filled run up the coast, the Comino caves, then about 4 hours of free time at the Blue Lagoon. Pick it for that balance: a quick ride there and back, and the longest stay in the water of any Sliema boat.

Powerboat from Sliema to the Blue Lagoon & Caves

About this experience

The boat leaves from Sliema Ferries at 11:00, on the seafront opposite Valletta. Before you board, everyone signs a waiver form, so arrive a little early. The captain is a local, and the listing names English, French, Italian and Spanish for the crew. Fuel, safety equipment, liability insurance and local taxes are all in the price.

Then the fun part: a high-speed run up Malta's north coast with the music on, the spray coming over the side and the cliffs going past fast. At Comino the boat noses into the caves round the Crystal Lagoon for a short cave tour, where the light turns the water a glassy blue. After that you get about 4 hours of free time at the Blue Lagoon to swim, snorkel, lie in the shallows or walk up the path for the view over Cominotto. Then the fast ride home to Sliema.

To step ashore you need the free landing booking run by the Malta Tourism Authority (your boat's confirmation or listing gives the link). No ticket includes it. Your time at the lagoon runs across midday, so ask the operator which slot to book when you get your confirmation. Food and drinks are not included: bring water and a snack, or buy at the seasonal kiosks. One guest's tip worth keeping: put the sun cream on after the ride, not before, or holding on gets harder.

Tips before you book

  • Put sun cream on at the lagoon, not on the ride out. A guest wrote that it makes holding on harder.
  • Book the free landing slot right after the boat, and ask the operator which slot fits.
  • Pack water shoes, a towel and some cash. Food and drinks are not included.
  • Keep your phone in a dry bag on the ride. The spray is part of the deal.
  • Wondering if 4 hours is too much or too little? Read our guide to how long to stay at the lagoon.
