A private boat is worth it if you want privacy, flexible stops and quieter swimming areas around Comino. It costs more than a ferry or standard cruise, but can be good value for families or groups.

A Comino cruise is a boat trip with sightseeing, swimming stops and time on board. A ferry is mainly transport to the island and is usually cheaper and more flexible for independent visitors.

Families usually do best with a standard cruise that has shade, toilets, seating and enough time at the Blue Lagoon without being too long. For maximum control over timing and stops, a private boat can be better.

Couples often prefer a quieter cruise, a sunset-style trip or a private boat. If privacy and flexible swim stops matter, a private boat is usually the best choice.

Solo travellers often enjoy standard cruises and party boats because they are social and easy to book. If you want a lively atmosphere, compare the party boat options.

Most standard cruises and larger boats have toilets on board, but facilities vary by vessel. Smaller ferries and speedboats may have fewer facilities.
