A sunset swim with a DJ playing. That mix of open-bar party energy and turquoise-water stops is what makes this Malta boat trip fun. You’ll start with a nightlife vibe on a two-story boat, then cool off in some of the most famous water in the area.

I also like how the trip gives you real time at the Blue Lagoon (not just a quick photo stop), plus a Comino stop and a short Gozo cruise. One thing to keep in mind: this is a party setup, so don’t assume there’s hands-on supervision while you’re swimming or jumping off.

Key things I’d circle on your first read

• Unlimited drinks (vodka, rum, gin, beer, whiskey) plus water and soft drinks
• International DJ and discotheque vibe on board
• Blue Lagoon swim time with a sunset stop built in
• Comino and Gozo stops for variety, not just one location
• Adult-only (18+) so the mood stays night-party focused

Why this Mellieħa boat party is different from a normal tour

This one is built for people who want Malta by night, not by museum. You board a two-story boat from Mellieħa, put on your best party face, and settle into the rhythm of an on-board discotheque. Then, just when the music feels like the whole plan, the water turns into the main character.

What you’re really buying with this style of tour is a full sensory evening: music, open bar, then a sudden shift to swim time and sunset at the Blue Lagoon. It’s a good match for groups who would rather do one memorable night out than piece together multiple smaller activities.

Also, the two-deck setup matters more than it sounds. If you want to dance, you have space. If you want sea views and a breather, the top deck is where you can step away from the noise.

Timing and how the 6:00 PM to 10:30 PM schedule plays out

The party runs from 6:00 PM to 10:30 PM, and it’s sold as a 4-hour experience. Either way, you should picture a late-day start that becomes a sunset plan and then a nightlife wind-down back at the marina.

This timing is a big reason the tour works. You’re not trying to do the Blue Lagoon in blazing midday heat. You get to enjoy the water in that golden-hour light, plus the sunset moment that people come back raving about.

Practical tip: plan for it to feel busy right before sunset. If you’re the type who wants calm photos, arrive at the best viewpoints on schedule, not after the crowd starts moving.

Getting started at Medusa Boat Party in Mellieħa

You meet at the Medusa Boat Party office in Mellieħa. Transportation to the meeting point isn’t included, so you’ll need to handle your own way there.

That’s the only real logistics pinch in the whole experience. Once you’re on board, everything is structured around the boat’s schedule—Gozo cruise, Blue Lagoon time, Comino stop, then back to Mellieħa.

If you’re going with a group, I’d make a simple plan beforehand: one person is responsible for check-in timing, and everyone else is responsible for being at the meeting point on time. Late arrivals create chaos fast when boarding is limited.

First stop: Gozo cruise for a quick 20 minutes

Gozo is the warm-up. You’ll get a 20-minute boat cruise, which is short on purpose. Think of it as coastline sightseeing while the party is still getting into gear.

In practical terms, this stop is useful because it breaks up the evening. If this tour were only Blue Lagoon and then back, the timeline would feel like two long waits. Instead, Gozo gives you a change of view and a chance to re-position yourself on board—whether you want music energy or top-deck sea air.

This also sets expectations: Gozo is not a full island visit here. You’re not going ashore for sightseeing time based on the info provided. It’s a cruise stop—mostly about the scenery and the flow of the evening.

Blue Lagoon: the swim and sunset stop that drives the whole night

This is the payoff stop. You get about 3 hours at the Blue Lagoon, plus a sunset stop. That combination is why the tour can feel like more than just a party.

Here’s what to expect during that time:

• You’ll have chances to snap photos as the colors shift
• You’ll have a real window for a dip in the water
• The boat’s motion and timing make the sunset feel like part of the itinerary, not something you need to coordinate separately

The Blue Lagoon itself is famous for a reason, and time-on-water is the key advantage you want from any itinerary. When a trip only gives you minutes, you’re rushing. When you get a longer window, you can actually enjoy the water, not just race toward it.

One more thing: this part of the evening is when the boat may feel crowded and mobile. If you want the best balance of fun and comfort, keep your valuables secure, plan your swims intentionally, and don’t treat it like a freestyle lifeguard situation.

Comino Island stop: short, scenic, and meant for quick hits

You also have a Comino island stop, but the duration isn’t specified in the info you have. What that means for you: treat Comino here as a brief change of scenery and photo moment rather than a long exploration.

Comino fits the overall rhythm of the tour. It’s a stop that keeps the night from feeling like a loop between one dock and one swim zone. You get to say you saw multiple Maltese highlights in one outing: Gozo, Comino, and the Blue Lagoon.

If you’re the kind of traveler who wants lots of onshore time, you might feel impatient during Comino because the structure is clearly built around partying and water time, not full island touring. If you’re there for the night experience, Comino works as an extra layer.

Open bar reality check: unlimited doesn’t mean endless

The open bar is one of the headline features. Included are vodka, rum, gin, beer, and whiskey, described as unlimited, plus unlimited soft drinks and water. You’ll also get one sandwich per person (vegetarian or non-vegetarian).

Here’s the practical side: unlimited alcohol changes how you should pace yourself. A lot of people go into “party mode” right away because the drinks keep coming. But the Blue Lagoon part includes swimming time, and sea conditions can affect the comfort level onboard.

My advice is simple: start with one drink while you’re dancing or settling in, then alternate or switch to soft drinks when you head toward swim time. The water and sunset are the moments you’ll want to fully remember, not just replay as a blur.

Also, watch your timing around the sunset. If you’re already buzzing, it’s easy to miss the light shift. Keep one cool and sober-ish plan in your pocket so you can enjoy the view.

Music, two decks, and how to find your preferred vibe

This boat party has an international DJ and an on-board discotheque. The boat is two-story, with the discotheque vibe on the first deck level and sea views more accessible from the top deck.

That matters because you can choose your mood:

• If you want full party energy, stay where the music is loud.
• If you want pictures, cooler air, and a slower pace, move up.

I like this setup because it prevents the common problem on party tours: either you’re trapped in the loud zone the whole time, or you miss the fun. Here you can change your position as the night evolves.

One more note from the general feedback pattern: there’s an expectation of freedom and jumping off in the water. That’s part of the fun, but it also means you’re responsible for your own comfort and safety decisions.

Food on board: one sandwich, then back to the sea

You get one sandwich per person, vegetarian or non-vegetarian. There’s no mention of multiple meal rounds, so plan the sandwich as a snack, not a full dinner.

This can be totally fine if your goal is a night out with drinks and swimming. But if you know you get hungry during alcohol-heavy evenings, you may want to eat a proper meal earlier before you head to the meeting point.

The upside is that the sandwich keeps you going without turning the tour into a sit-down meal experience. You’ll stay flexible for music, photos, and water time.

Sea conditions matter more than you want to admit

Your tour can be subject to sea conditions. That’s an important note because the whole evening is on a moving vessel, and you’ll also be spending time in the water.

If you get seasick easily, this is the kind of outing where you should prepare. Don’t assume you’ll feel fine just because it’s a short cruise. And if you’re planning to swim, be smart about how confident you feel in the water that day.

Price and value: does $73 make sense for what you get?

At $73 per person for about a half-night outing, you’re paying for a package:

• Boat transport on the water
• DJ-led party atmosphere
• Open bar
• Stops at Gozo, Comino, and the Blue Lagoon
• Swim time plus a sunset stop

The value depends on what you’d otherwise do. If you were planning to spend money separately on a boat day plus cocktails and entrance-type activities, this feels like a bundle deal. If you were hoping for quiet sightseeing, you’d probably feel like you’re paying for the party part, not the island part.

For the right crowd—18+ and ready to party and swim—$73 is the kind of price that can feel fair because the drinks and the longer Blue Lagoon window do a lot of heavy lifting.

Common issues to watch for before you go

A couple of practical warning signs show up in the general feedback pattern:

First, the idea of the Blue Lagoon stop can vary in real-world execution. Some people weren’t satisfied with the Blue Lagoon letting-off part versus what they expected. So before you commit, confirm the stop details match your personal minimum requirement—especially if you’re coming specifically for that swim time.

Second, there may be limited sense of on-board supervision while people are swimming or jumping. That doesn’t mean you should avoid having fun. It does mean you should treat the water time like an activity you manage yourself. Use good judgment. Keep track of your group. Don’t rely on staff to solve every safety gap.

Who should book this boat party (and who should skip it)

This tour fits best if you:

• Want a party vibe with a DJ rather than a quiet day cruise
• Plan to enjoy the Blue Lagoon for real swim time and photos
• Like the idea of an open bar included in the price
• Are traveling as a group that enjoys late-day nightlife

It’s not a great match if you want:

• Lots of quiet nature time or long onshore exploration
• A fully supervised swim experience
• A family-friendly outing (it’s not suitable for children under 18)

Also, if you’re sensitive to alcohol-driven crowds, you might want to rethink. This tour is clearly meant for adults.

Should you book this Blue Lagoon and Comino boat party?

If your main goal is a memorable Malta night—music, drinks, and a real Blue Lagoon sunset swim—then yes, this is worth considering. The strongest reasons to book are the open-bar setup, the DJ-led atmosphere, and the extended Blue Lagoon time that lets you actually enjoy the water instead of rushing through it.

Before you book, do two quick checks: confirm the Blue Lagoon stop is truly what you’re expecting, and go in knowing you’re responsible for your own swim decisions. If you’re good with that tradeoff, you’ll likely have the kind of night that’s fun all the way through sunset and back.
