About this experience
Sailing in a Turkish gulet from Sliema Marina, you'll cruise along Malta's northern coastline, past jaw-dropping cliffs, secluded coves and sheltered inlets – all you need to do is relax, unwind and enjoy the view.
Dropping anchor at a secluded bay on the island of Gozo, you'll have the chance to cool off with a swim or just kick back and chill out on deck. With a delicious buffet lunch served on board and a fully-stocked bar, you'll feel every bit the pampered guest.
After lunch, it's onto the island of Comino where the captain will drop anchor in the shimmering Blue Lagoon. Spend the rest of the afternoon diving beneath the crystal clear waters of the lagoon before climbing back on board for platters of fresh fruit and the journey back to the marina.
