The Serenity Boat Charters Comino trip is a private skippered boat for up to 7 people, sold in 2, 3 or 4-hour slots, with swim stops at the Blue Lagoon, the Crystal Lagoon and the sea caves of Comino. The listing price is $174 per group, about €155, and fuel is paid in cash on the day.

That cash fuel charge is the detail that changes the decision. For the 2-hour slot it is €69, so the real cost is nearer €224 for the boat, or about $36 each with 7 aboard.

I would book the Serenity Boat Charters Comino trip for a group of four to seven who want their own pace, and I would choose a morning slot. My guide to boat tours in Malta and the snorkelling tours page show the cheaper shared alternatives, and the Harbour Advisor home page lists other cities.

What is the Serenity Boat Charters Comino trip and what do you actually do?

You hire a small private boat with a local skipper who also acts as guide, and the group chooses how long to spend at each swim stop. The listing names four highlights: the Blue Lagoon, the Crystal Lagoon, the 17th-century tower on Comino and the sea caves along its cliffs.

1. Meet the skipper at Ċirkewwa on Malta or Mġarr on Gozo; the listing says the meeting point depends on the option you pick.
2. Cross to Comino and anchor off the Blue Lagoon (Blue Lagoon on Google Maps) for the first swim.
3. Move to the Crystal Lagoon (Crystal Lagoon on Google Maps), a quieter, deeper cove, for snorkelling.
4. Pass the tower and the caves by boat (Santa Maria Tower on Google Maps), then return to the same port or the other one.

Comino covers about 3.5 km² and had two permanent residents in 2023; it is a bird sanctuary and part of a Natura 2000 marine protected area. St Mary's Tower was built by the Knights of Malta in 1618 (Wikipedia).

Where does the private boat leave from?

It leaves from Ċirkewwa in northern Malta or Mġarr Harbour on Gozo, and you can end in the other port. The listing pin sits near Ċirkewwa and Marfa, at the northern tip of Malta, and the listing says the meeting point may vary by option, so confirm it after booking.

• Parking: the listing says free parking is on site; the listing pin is at the northern tip near Marfa on Google Maps.
• Weather change: in wind, pick-up or drop-off can move to a nearby port.
• Hotel pickup: not included, despite appearing in the included list.

What does the Serenity Boat Charters Comino trip really cost?

The real cost is the listed price plus cash fuel, which is €224 for a 2-hour group trip. The listing price already covers the skipper, insurance, taxes and port fees.

The 3 and 4-hour slots add €10 of fuel per extra hour, but the listing does not show their boat prices before you pick a date, so check the calendar.

How long is it and when does it sail?

You choose 2, 3 or 4 hours, and the start times appear only after you select a date. Reviewers mention an 8:00 am start that was not busy and a two-hour trip that they rebooked for the next day.

The Blue Lagoon now has a booking system.

From 1 May 2025 anyone who wants to set foot there by private or commercial vessel needs a free pre-booked pass, with three daily slots (08:00-13:00, 13:30-17:30, 18:00-22:00) and a cap of 4,000 visitors at a time (Malta Tourism Authority). The page does not say whether swimming from an anchored boat needs a pass, so ask Serenity before you go.

What is on board and what is included?

The ticket covers skipper, insurance, taxes, port fees, snorkelling gear, life jackets, a shower and an ice box with ice and drinking water. Food, drinks, fuel and tips are not covered.

• Included: skipper and guide, snorkelling gear, fresh-water shower, Bluetooth sound system, life jackets, ice box, insurance, taxes, port fees.
• Not included: fuel in cash, food and drinks, tips, hotel pickup or drop-off.
• Not allowed: bikes, glass objects and explosive substances.
• Bring: swimwear, towel, hat, sunscreen, cash for fuel.

The listing says the trip is wheelchair accessible; it also lists "not suitable for people over 95", which I would treat as a template line and confirm with the operator.

How does the Serenity Boat Charters Comino trip compare with other private Comino boats?

It is the pricier of the three private Comino listings on this site, but it is the only one that bundles insurance, port fees and a fixed 2 to 4-hour slot with a group cap of 7. The cheaper listings charge skipper and fuel on top.

If you want a sailing boat rather than a motorboat, my half-day sailing charter page covers a 4-hour yacht for up to 11 people.

Is a Serenity Boat Charters Comino private trip worth it versus a shared cruise?

It is worth it when you have four or more people and care about timing, because a full boat costs about $36 each against $34 on a 7-hour shared cruise that is much longer. On a shared boat you follow the schedule; here you choose the order of stops.

• Choose private for non-swimmers (one reviewer was helped into the water), early starts and photo time.
• Choose shared for a solo traveller: one person pays the whole boat.
• Beware the cash: take at least €90 in notes for fuel and a possible extra hour.

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?

June to September gives the warmest water and the most crowds, while an 8:00 am start in any month avoids most of the queue. 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). Expect busier ports on those dates.

What do passengers say about the trip?

Almost every readable review names the skipper, George, and describes unhurried swim stops; the ten I could read are all five-star, so the sample is positive-only.

• Skipper - friendly and flexible, named in 9 of 10 readable reviews.
• Pace - guests were not rushed and chose their stops.
• Gear - GetYourGuide's summary suggests the operator stock extra masks and floats so every guest has one.
• Privacy - one couple had the boat to themselves and found plenty of room.

Who should skip this trip?

Skip it if you are travelling alone, hate handling cash, or want an evening sailing, because the reviews describe morning and daytime trips. Weather can also change the plan, since the listing says the skipper can alter stops and can cancel or reschedule in very strong wind.

How do you book the Serenity Boat Charters Comino trip?

1. Pick the date and slot (2, 3 or 4 hours) and read the final price.
2. Enter your group size; the cap is 7.
3. Confirm the port (Ċirkewwa or Mġarr) with the skipper.
4. Bring cash for fuel and cancel by 24 hours before if plans change.
