Gozo & Comino Islands Schooner Cruise
At the indicated time, we'll pick you up from your hotel on the island of Malta and take you to the port of Sliema. From there, we'll set sail at 10 am on the Fernandes gulet: a traditional schooner-style sailing boat on which we'll enjoy an unforgettable cruise on the Mediterranean.
After being welcomed on board, we'll sail along the northern coast of Malta. Leaving this island, the largest of the archipelago, behind, we'll head for Gozo. Here, we'll anchor for 90 minutes in a secluded bay to enjoy a refreshing dip in the sea.

Around midday, we'll return to the schooner to enjoy a delicious lunch on board. The menu includes a buffet of hot and cold products prepared by the boat's crew. What's more, you'll have access to an open bar of beer, wine, soft drinks and water throughout the trip.
After lunch, you'll get to relax on the deck of the sailing boat as we sail from Comino Island to Malta.
