Setting Sail with Malta’s First Female Skipper

As a marine biologist with a passion for the ocean, I often find myself drawn to the world’s most beautiful water-based destinations. My recent adventure took me to the enchanting island of Comino, where I embarked on a ferry service to the Blue Lagoon, guided by none other than Malta’s first female skipper, Jolene. Her reputation preceded her, and I was eager to experience the journey under her expert guidance.

From the moment we set sail, Jolene’s warmth and enthusiasm were infectious. She shared stories of her family’s deep-rooted connection to the sea and offered invaluable local advice on the best spots to explore in Gozo. Her knowledge of the area was impressive, and her passion for her work was evident in every word she spoke. As we cruised towards the Blue Lagoon, I couldn’t help but feel a sense of excitement and anticipation for the adventure that lay ahead.

Exploring the Crystal and Blue Lagoons

The highlight of the trip was undoubtedly the visit to the Crystal and Blue Lagoons. As we approached the lagoons, the water transformed into a mesmerizing shade of turquoise, inviting us to dive in and explore its depths. Jolene expertly navigated the boat, bringing us close to the entrances of several caves that dotted the coastline. Her skillful driving allowed us to capture stunning views and photographs of the natural beauty surrounding us.

The Blue Lagoon, with its sandy beaches and crystal-clear waters, was a sight to behold. I took the opportunity to snorkel and observe the vibrant marine life that called this paradise home. The tranquility of the lagoon was a stark contrast to the exhilarating journey we had just experienced, providing a perfect balance of adventure and relaxation.

A Journey to Remember

As our two-hour tour came to an end, I reflected on the unforgettable experience I had just had. Jolene’s friendly demeanor and expert navigation made the trip truly special. Her ability to make us feel welcome and part of her crew was a testament to her exceptional hospitality.

The ferry service to the Blue Lagoon is more than just a boat ride; it’s an opportunity to connect with nature, explore hidden gems, and create lasting memories. Whether you’re a seasoned traveler or a first-time visitor, this journey is a must-do for anyone seeking a unique and exhilarating adventure on the waters of Comino.

For those looking to embark on this incredible journey, I highly recommend this ferry service for an experience that is both calming and exhilarating. It’s a chance to witness the serene beauty of the lagoons and the thrill of exploring the caves, all under the expert guidance of a remarkable skipper.
