One fast morning ride can set the tone for an entire trip. This Supreme Powerboats tour turns the trip to Comino into the main event: loud music, high-speed runs, and real time in the Blue Lagoon.

I like that you get both the action and the water time—there’s a 4-hour stop for swimming and snorkeling, plus a cave experience along the way. You also benefit from a small-group feel, so the day doesn’t feel like one long cattle chute.

The big consideration is comfort: the ride can be bumpy and wet, and the lagoon itself gets crowded, with limited shade on busy days.

Key things I’d watch for

• High-speed, bumpy ride with music: fun, but plan for splashes.
• 4 hours at Blue Lagoon for swimming and snorkeling in clear water.
• Santa Maria Caves photo stop plus a Comino cave tour from the boat.
• Small-group feel for a more personal vibe.
• Bring beachwear only is all you’re told to bring, but you may want water shoes too.

The Supreme Powerboats run: Sliema to Comino in real time

Your day starts at the Supreme Power Boats Ticketing Booth in Sliema, with the meeting point being Sliema Ferries opposite McDonald’s. Departure is 11:00, and the whole experience runs about 6 hours, which is a solid chunk of your day spent actually doing things rather than waiting around.

The ride itself is the personality of this tour. Expect speed, music, and the kind of bouncing that makes you grip the rail and laugh about it later. Several guides have a knack for keeping energy high, and captains are clearly part entertainer. One note you’ll want in your head: the back of the boat is typically described as less bumpy than the front, so if you get a choice, ask where you can sit for a smoother ride.

Also, plan to get wet. The experience is designed around short runs and quick arrivals. Even if you aren’t drenched, it’s not a dry, dainty boat day.

Santa Maria Caves and the Comino cave tour: photos, stops, and close-up views

You’ll get a Santa Maria Caves moment early on—a photo stop where you can look, snap a few pictures, and reset before Comino time. This is the kind of stop that’s brief, but useful. You’re not just staring at a map; you’re seeing the Malta coastline’s rocky character from the water.

Then comes the crystal-clear-water magic, plus the cave angle. The tour includes Comino Caves via a cave tour, meaning you get to see those famous limestone shapes without spending your whole day walking. This matters because Comino is small, but the paths can still be a lot to manage while you’re also trying to swim and enjoy the lagoon.

Photo quality is usually strong from the boat because the water around Comino is famously clear. If you’re into pictures, this is one of the better parts of the day for quick, dramatic shots—especially because the boat gives you a different angle than the beach crowd.

Blue Lagoon time: your 4 hours of swimming and snorkeling (plus the crowd reality)

This is the heart of the tour: a 4-hour stop at the Blue Lagoon. The point is simple—get out of the seat, get into the water, and enjoy those famous views. You’ll have time to swim, snorkel, and sunbathe while you’re surrounded by that bright, clear water that makes Comino so popular.

Now the practical part: the Blue Lagoon is often busy. You can expect limited space, hard surfaces near the water, and not much in the way of comfortable lounging unless you arrive with a plan. Some people report almost no shade and that you might be forced to adapt—sitting on rocks, using the water for comfort, or walking a bit for a better pocket of space.

What helps:

• Bring beachwear (that’s the only official item on the list), then expect to need it for a swim session that can stretch longer than you think.
• Consider water shoes/sea boots if you have them. The rocks around the lagoon can be sharp.
• If you’re serious about snorkeling, go in ready. One key detail from real-world reports: snorkel gear isn’t consistently provided as an included item, but you may be able to rent it once on Comino.

There are also practical on-site services—food and drink options, and toilets are mentioned by people who’ve done the trip. So you’re not stuck, but you should still plan like it’s a seaside day, not a spa day.

How the 6-hour structure plays out: what you’re really trading off

A 6-hour day from Sliema doesn’t leave room for long detours or slow pacing. That’s part of the appeal. You get a fast crossing, short cave moments, and a meaningful block of time at the lagoon.

The trade-off is that your freedom is mostly concentrated at Blue Lagoon. The cave pieces are brief by design—meant to add variety rather than replace the lagoon experience. If your dream is long cave exploring on foot, this style won’t match that. It’s more about water-level views and photo opportunities plus a swim break.

One more small detail to keep in mind: while the tour is set to return you back to the meeting point in Sliema, there’s at least one report of a quick stop near St Julian’s on the way back. So don’t panic if your return route feels slightly different than expected.

What’s included versus what you’ll pay for

Here’s what you should expect is covered:

• Local expert captain
• Full safety equipment
• Liability insurance and local taxes
• Fuel
• 4-hour stop at the Blue Lagoon for swimming
• Comino caves including a cave tour

What isn’t included:

• Food and drinks
• Hotel pickup and drop-off (you’ll meet at Sliema Ferries area)

Value-wise, this is not “just transport.” You’re paying for a package that includes the speedboat ride, the cave components, and a full on-water day at Comino. Yes, you can take other routes to Comino, but you’d lose the high-energy ride and the structured cave time that turns the trip into a guided experience.

Price and value: is $68 a fair deal?

At about $68 per person, you’re paying for time efficiency and excitement. You’re not spending half the day in transit, and you’re not doing Comino as a DIY day where you have to sort out timing, getting to the right water areas, and managing the day yourself.

Is it worth it? For the right traveler, it’s an easy yes:

• If you want Comino plus caves without adding extra planning stress.
• If you like rides that feel like an event rather than a ferry line.
• If you’re okay with a crowded lagoon and want to make the most of it with a set block of time.

If you’re looking for a calm, lounge-by-the-beach day, a speedboat tour may feel like too much. But if you want the fun factor and a clean itinerary that puts you in the water fast, this pricing reflects that.

Who should book this powerboat tour (and who shouldn’t)

This tour is a strong fit for active people who don’t mind speed and a bit of splash. The tour is not suitable for children under 3, pregnant women, wheelchair users, or people with back problems, recent surgeries, or heart problems. There’s also a high-end age limit listed for people over 95 years.

In other words: it’s built for physical comfort in a boat setting, not for anyone needing maximum stability or special accommodation.

Best matches:

• Couples and small groups who want a fun day and don’t mind crowds at the lagoon.
• People who want a mix of water time plus cave views.
• Travelers who enjoy music and a lively guide/captain vibe.

Practical tips so you get the best day possible

A few things can make the difference between amused and annoyed.

1) Go prepared for a wet ride

Even if you aren’t fully soaked, expect splashes. If you hate wet hair or electronics getting damp, plan accordingly.

2) Choose your seat like it matters

A captain (named in one report as Johnny) explained that the back of the boat tends to be less bumpy. It’s a small tip that can improve comfort quickly.

3) Pack only what you can use fast

Official guidance is beachwear. That’s smart for a day where you’ll change into swim mode. If you bring a towel, water shoes, sunscreen, or a dry bag, do it to support swimming and convenience, not to turn the day into a packing project.

4) Snorkel expectations

Since snorkeling is part of the plan, but gear may not be consistently included, it’s smart to plan either to rent on Comino or to go without perfect gear.

5) Blue Lagoon strategy

Assume it’s crowded. Bring your patience, then use your four hours actively—swim, snorkel, and move around rather than trying to claim one perfect seat in peak congestion.

Should you book Supreme Power Boats to Comino’s Blue Lagoon?

I’d book this tour if you want Comino the fun way: speedboat energy, cave moments, and a 4-hour block in the water. The biggest reason to say yes is that the tour compresses a lot of value into one day—getting you to the lagoon quickly, adding cave viewing, and keeping the day structured enough that you don’t have to figure everything out on your own.

I wouldn’t book it if you want a quiet, cushioned experience, you’re sensitive to bumpy rides, or you’re hoping for an easy day with lots of shade on the sand. The lagoon can be tight and sun-heavy, and the boat is part of the thrill.

If your idea of a great Malta day is clear water, quick cave views, and a ride that feels like a small adventure—this is a strong match.
