Coastal Day Cruise from Sliema to Comino Island

This full-day sailing cruise from Sliema Ferries suits swimmers, snorkellers, and those seeking a relaxing day at sea exploring Comino’s lagoons.

Description

Departing Sliema Ferries at 9:30 AM, this cruise sails to Comino Island aboard a traditional Turkish gulet, offering coastal views throughout the journey.

The first stop is usually the Crystal Lagoon on Comino’s west side, ideal for diving and snorkelling in turquoise waters surrounded by cliffs. If weather or sea conditions prevent this, the boat stops at Santa Marija Bay, known for shallow, clear waters and a tranquil atmosphere.

After a cold buffet lunch served on board, the cruise heads to the Blue Lagoon, arriving around 1:15 PM. Here, guests can swim, snorkel, sunbathe, or explore Comino Island’s countryside. The gulet features spacious decks, a saloon, a bar, swimming ladders, freshwater showers, and shaded areas.

The boat returns to Sliema Ferries at approximately 5:00 PM.
