Comino private boat charters from I Love Comino Boat Charters are 1 to 2-hour speedboat trips for up to 6 people to the Blue Lagoon, the Crystal Lagoon, Cominotto and a string of sea caves. The listing price is $53 per group, about €47, which makes it the cheapest private boat in my Malta set.

The detail that changes the decision is what the headline price leaves out. The listing shows a skipper at €39 and fuel at €39 in euros, and its own terms say fuel is paid separately, so I plan on about €125 for the boat, or about €21 each with 6 aboard.

I would book Comino private boat charters of this kind for a family or a group of friends who want two hours of swimming without a day-long cruise. My Malta boat tours guide and the Harbour Advisor home page show where it sits among the shared boats.

What are Comino private boat charters and what do you do on this one?

You get a whole speedboat to yourselves and the skipper follows the group's wishes, within the weather. The listing's own timings add up to about 75 minutes of movement and stops, so a 1-hour booking is tight and a 2-hour one is relaxed.

That totals 75 minutes. The description also names the Roofless Cave (Roofless Cave on Google Maps), the Lovers Cave, Pigeon Rock and Daħlet il-Ħmara, so on a 2-hour charter the skipper has time to add several of them. Cominotto is the small islet next to the Blue Lagoon (Wikipedia).

Where do the Comino private boat charters leave from?

You pick Ċirkewwa on Malta or Mġarr on Gozo, and the listing shows two drop-off options as well. The listing gives no pin for this product, so confirm the exact jetty by WhatsApp after booking, as the operator asks.

• Arrival: the listing asks you to arrive 1 hour before the start; lateness does not extend the charter.
• Parking: an August reviewer who sailed from Mġarr advises arriving 30 minutes early because the harbour fills up.
• Same-day bookings: they need confirmation, and the listing asks you to message the operator on WhatsApp straight away.

What do Comino private boat charters really cost?

For this listing the real cost is the $53 booking plus about €78 for skipper and fuel, so roughly €125 for the boat. The listing is not clear whether the skipper is in the price, which is why I show the worst case.

GetYourGuide's review summary says some guests wanted clearer information on additional fees before departure, so ask in writing what is already paid.

How long is it and when does it sail?

The charter lasts 1 to 2 hours and start times appear after you choose a date. Reviewers describe morning trips, a 2-hour trip with a skipper called Joe, and a sunset trip on a honeymoon.

The skipper may adjust your chosen time for the best result, so treat the booked slot as a window.

What is on board and what is included?

The boat has seating, a sundeck with a canopy, safety equipment, snorkel gear, an ice cooler, a Bluetooth speaker and Wi-Fi. Food and drink are not included, even though the listing's included list prints them.

• Included: private boat, safety equipment, canopy sundeck, mask and snorkel, ice cooler, speaker, Wi-Fi, fishing equipment.
• Not included: food and drink, and - per the listing's terms - fuel.
• Bring: sunglasses, swimwear, towel, sunscreen and cash.
• Reviewers mention: life jackets, a noodle and goggles on board.

The skipper's rights matter on a private charter: the listing lets him cancel, postpone or change the route for weather, tides or shallows.

How do Comino private boat charters compare with other Malta boats?

This listing is the cheapest private boat I list, and the sister listing by the same operator charges per person. The right choice depends on group size.

For a pair, the per-person sister listing is about as costly as this one. For four to six people this per-group listing is clearly cheaper. For a longer day, see the half-day sailing charter or my snorkelling tours in Malta.

Is a private Comino speedboat worth it versus a shared cruise?

It is worth it when you want the lagoons without the crowd and can fit the cost across four to six people, because the boat is yours and the stops follow your pace. A shared cruise costs less per person but runs 7 hours with a fixed route.

• Choose private if you want early or sunset slots, photos taken by the skipper (several reviewers mention this) or a flexible stop order.
• Choose shared if you travel alone, or if you want a meal and a long day in one ticket.
• Check the pass: the Blue Lagoon needs a free pre-booked pass for landing since 1 May 2025 (Malta Tourism Authority); ask whether swimming from the boat is covered.

4,022,310 tourists arrived in Malta in 2025, 12.9% more than in 2024, so summer boats sell out.

When is the best time to book?

July and August are hottest at 32°C and 31°C in the 2025 average highs, while May, June and September balance warm sea and thinner crowds. The sea off Malta is 24.5°C today.

Upcoming public holidays in Malta, from the Nager.Date API: 8 Dec (Feast of the Immaculate Conception), 13 Dec (Republic Day), 25 Dec (Christmas Day).

What do passengers say about this charter?

The ten reviews I could read are all five-star, so the sample is positive-only; the pattern is still clear.

• Skippers - Mario, Joe, Dylan and others are named for friendliness and photos.
• Pace - guests report no hurry and quieter spots away from the main crowd.
• Equipment - a speaker, jackets, noodle and goggles are mentioned.
• Fees - the review summary asks for clearer information on additional fees.

Who should skip it?

Skip it if you want a guaranteed all-in price, a meal on board, or a spot for more than 6 people. Weather can also move the time or route, and the skipper decides.

How do you book Comino private boat charters?
