Sailing Boat Trip: Explore Comino, Crystal/Blue Lagoon

As we cruise past St. Julian’s, you’ll see the vibrant mix of old and new—charming stone buildings, lively waterfront cafés, and luxury hotels lining the shore. The water sparkles against the backdrop of Spinola Bay, with colorful boats bobbing gently and the iconic Love Monument standing watch. It’s a perfect blend of Maltese charm and coastal energy.

As we pass by Pembroke Ranges, you'll notice a shift in the scenery—rugged coastline, rocky cliffs, and open stretches of wild terrain. It’s a quieter, more natural side of Malta, where the land meets the sea in raw, untouched beauty. Keep an eye out for old military structures and winding paths that hint at the area's rich history.

Cruising past Buġibba, you'll see the lively buzz of this seaside town from a whole new angle—modern hotels, bustling promenades, and sunbathers lining the rocky shore. The water here is a deep, clear blue, perfect for spotting swimmers and snorkelers exploring below. In the distance, the square hums with life, while the open sea stretches out beyond St. Paul’s Islands.

As we sail past St. Paul’s Bay, you’ll be treated to sweeping views of a peaceful harbor steeped in history. The gentle curve of the bay cradles fishing boats and quiet inlets, while St. Paul’s Islands stand just offshore—said to be where the apostle Paul was shipwrecked. The coastline blends old-world charm with natural beauty, offering a serene, story-rich view from the water.

As we glide by Mellieħa Bay, you’ll see one of Malta’s most beautiful stretches of sandy shoreline—crystal-clear waters lapping gently against golden sands, with families and sunseekers dotting the beach. Just beyond, nestled in the rocky coastline, lies the legendary Smuggler’s Cave. Hidden and mysterious, this sea-carved cave whispers tales of secret landings and shadowy pasts, a striking contrast to the open, sunlit bay.

As we approach Comino, the island’s wild beauty begins to unfold—turquoise waters, dramatic cliffs, and hidden coves. One of its most curious sights is the famous “Elephant Head” rock formation, naturally sculpted by wind and sea. From the right angle, it really does look like an elephant dipping its trunk into the water—a quirky and unforgettable highlight of Comino’s rugged charm.

As we reach the secluded beauty of San Blas Bay in Gozo, get ready to drop anchor in a hidden gem. Surrounded by terracotta cliffs and lush greenery, this quiet bay boasts clear, inviting waters—perfect for a refreshing swim. It’s the ideal spot to unwind, soak up the sun, and enjoy a laid-back lunch with a view that feels like your own private slice of paradise.

Welcome to the heart of Comino’s magic—first, the Blue Lagoon, where the water is so clear and turquoise it feels unreal. Surrounded by white sand and dramatic rock formations, it’s the perfect place for a refreshing swim or just floating in pure bliss. Then we head to the nearby Crystal Lagoon, a quieter, more hidden spot with stunning cliffs and deep blue waters—ideal for snorkeling, cliff watching, or simply relaxing in this untouched slice of paradise.
