Sailing into Serenity: A Private Charter to Comino Island
When the opportunity to explore Comino Island on a private charter presented itself, I couldn’t resist. The promise of a personalized adventure, free from the usual crowds, was too tempting to pass up. Join me as I recount a day filled with stunning lagoons, hidden bays, and the thrill of the open sea.
Setting Sail on a Private Adventure
The allure of Comino Island had been calling my name for quite some time, and when I heard about the Comino Island Adventure, I knew it was time to answer that call. The promise of a private charter, free from the usual crowds, was too tempting to resist. As someone who thrives on the freedom of the open sea, the idea of crafting my own itinerary was a dream come true.
Upon arrival at Ċirkewwa, I was greeted by Aimee, our skipper for the day. Her warm smile and easygoing nature immediately set the tone for what would be an unforgettable journey. After a brief introduction and safety rundown, we set off towards the famous Blue Lagoon. The turquoise waters were as stunning as I’d imagined, and I couldn’t wait to dive in.
Discovering Hidden Gems
While the Blue Lagoon was a sight to behold, it was Aimee’s suggestion to spend more time at St. Nicholas Bay that truly made the day special. The water there was calm and crystal clear, revealing a sandy bottom teeming with schools of fish. It was the perfect spot for snorkeling, and I was grateful for the snorkeling gear provided on board.
As I floated in the serene waters, I couldn’t help but feel a deep connection to the ocean, reminiscent of my days competing in surf tournaments. The tranquility of the bay was a stark contrast to the adrenaline-fueled waves I was used to, yet it was equally exhilarating in its own way.
Riding the Waves
The day was not without its challenges, as the waves picked up in the afternoon, making the ride a bit choppy. Aimee, ever the considerate host, offered us the option to take a ferry back from Gozo instead of braving the rougher waters. It was a thoughtful gesture that ensured our comfort and safety.
Reflecting on the experience, I realized that the true beauty of this adventure lay in its flexibility. The ability to tailor the day to our preferences, combined with Aimee’s expert guidance, made for a truly personalized experience. Whether you’re a seasoned ocean lover like myself or simply looking for a unique island escape, this private charter offers something for everyone. I can’t wait to return and explore even more of Comino’s hidden treasures.
