Dreaming of turquoise waters, hidden coves, and unforgettable sunsets? If Malta is on your 2025 travel list, exploring the islands by sea is one of the most rewarding ways to experience their beauty.
Malta offers some of the best boat tours in the Mediterranean — from the famous Blue Lagoon to the rugged coastline of Gozo and secret swimming spots around Comino.
At Solevela, we’ve curated the top 5 boat trips to experience in Malta in 2025, based on local expertise and thousands of five-star guest reviews. This guide will help you choose the perfect maritime adventure — from peaceful escapes to full-day private charters.
1. The Ultimate Comino Boat Trip: Blue Lagoon and Crystal Lagoon
One of Malta’s most iconic experiences is a boat trip to Comino, a tiny island between Malta and Gozo. Famous for its clear, shallow waters, Comino is home to the spectacular Blue Lagoon — ideal for swimming, snorkeling, and relaxing in the sun.
Just around the corner lies the Crystal Lagoon, a lesser-known gem with deeper waters, dramatic cliffs, and stunning sea caves — perfect for diving and exploring.
Solevela recommends an early morning or sunset departure for the best light, calm waters, and fewer crowds.
2. Gozo Adventure Cruise: Culture, Cliffs, and Caves
Gozo is known for its natural beauty, traditional villages, and wild coastline. A boat trip around Gozo lets you discover secluded bays, towering rock formations like those in Dwejra Bay, and underwater caves accessible only by sea.
Many tours include a land-based segment where you can visit the Ġgantija Temples or explore the countryside by jeep or e-bike, making it a rich and well-rounded experience.
It’s ideal for travelers looking to combine adventure, history, and nature in a single day.
3. Sunset Sailing Cruise Along the Southern Coast
A sunset cruise along Malta’s southern coast is a breathtaking way to end the day. The route typically passes by traditional fishing villages like Marsaxlokk, dramatic sea cliffs, and watchtowers that date back to the Knights of St. John.
With soft evening light, a warm breeze, and a drink in hand, it’s the perfect choice for couples, small groups, or anyone who loves a quiet moment on the water.
Some cruises even include local food tastings or live music onboard — a unique blend of scenery and culture.
4. Harbour Cruise Around Valletta and the Three Cities
For a more historical perspective, take a harbour cruise through Grand Harbour and Marsamxett Harbour. You’ll get stunning views of Valletta’s fortifications, baroque architecture, and the colorful balconies of the Three Cities.
These tours are short but rich in content, often enhanced with multilingual audio guides. Some operators now offer evening departures with music, snacks, or even open-air film projections on deck.
It’s the easiest way to see the heart of Malta from a different angle.
5. Full-Day Private Charter: Your Yacht, Your Rules
Want a personalized and exclusive boat experience? A full-day private yacht charter gives you total freedom to design your route and experience.
Visit Comino’s hidden caves, swim in Gozo’s quiet bays, stop at the Blue Grotto, or simply drift along the coast with music and an aperitif. With a Solevela private charter, you can expect a professional skipper, flexible timing, snorkeling gear, paddleboards, and catering options.
This is the ultimate choice for families, couples, or small groups seeking privacy, comfort, and unforgettable moments on the water.
Why Malta Boat Trips Are a Must in 2025
Malta’s popularity as a boating destination continues to rise, and for good reason. With over 300 days of sunshine, crystal-clear waters, and a unique mix of Mediterranean charm and history, Malta offers something special at sea.
In 2025, expect improved marina facilities, more eco-conscious boat options, and a broader range of tours — from quick dips to multi-day charters.
Choosing the Right Boat Experience
Before you book, consider these factors:
- Timing: Morning tours are quieter; sunset cruises are more scenic.
- Boat type: Choose speedboats for fun, catamarans for space, or yachts for luxury.
- Group style: Private tours offer flexibility and privacy; shared tours are social and budget-friendly.
- Extras: Look for snorkeling equipment, food and drink options, or music on board.
Booking in advance is essential, especially between May and September when demand peaks.
