Private Boat Tickets to Comino & Blue Lagoon - Malta Travel Guide & Tickets

A private boat to Comino is a charter where you sail only with your own group and a skipper. It’s ideal for flexibility, privacy, and choosing your preferred swim spots.

Private boats give you more control over timing, stops, and pace. If you prefer a budget option, compare with ferry tickets or standard Comino cruises.

Private boat departures often start from Cirkewwa (Malta) or Mgarr Harbour (Gozo), depending on the option you choose.

Private trips are commonly offered as 2–3 hour options, with some tours around 3 hours. Duration depends on the boat and itinerary.
