About

The place, in context

Fekruna Jetty sits at the edge of a bay where the Apostle Paul's shipwreck in 60 AD became Malta's origin myth, transforming a limestone harbour into a pilgrimage anchor for two millennia. The jetty itself, a modest concrete finger extending into Salina Bay, serves as the departure point for half-day catamaran sailings that trace the same wind-carved coastline Roman galleys once navigated. These waters, protected by the headland that shelters St Paul's Bay from northwesterly gales, offer some of the Mediterranean's clearest visibility — often exceeding 30 metres in summer months when the sirocco winds subside. The St Paul's Bay half day scenic catamaran tour with drinks departs daily from this jetty, threading through a marine corridor that links the Maltese archipelago's three most photographed formations: the Blue Lagoon's 20-metre shallows between Comino and Cominotto, the Crystal Lagoon's sheltered inlet on Comino's southern flank, and the sea caves honeycombing the limestone cliffs below Marfa Ridge. The route capitalises on Malta's position at the junction of two tectonic plates, where millennia of wave erosion have sculpted the globigerina limestone into arches, chimneys, and cathedral-like chambers that glow amber when sunlight penetrates their submerged mouths. Catamaran tours became the dominant vessel type for these routes in the early 2010s, replacing traditional luzzu fishing boats, because their dual-hull stability allows closer approach to cave entrances and safer swimming access in open water. Comino itself, the uninhabited island anchoring most itineraries, measures just 3.5 square kilometres but draws over 300,000 visitors annually to its signature Blue Lagoon — a sandbar basin where the seabed's white sand reflects sunlight upward, creating the cyan glow that satellite imagery captures even from orbit. The island's only permanent structures are a 17th-century watchtower and a shuttered hotel, leaving the coastline visually unchanged from the era when Knights of St John patrolled these channels for Ottoman corsairs. Modern catamaran operators exploit the lagoon's shallow depth by anchoring mid-basin, allowing passengers to wade or snorkel without contending with boat traffic that motorised tours generate in the narrower Crystal Lagoon approach. St Paul's Bay catamaran sailing tours typically allocate 90 minutes to swimming and snorkelling stops, with onboard drinks service — Maltese Cisk lager, local wines, and soft beverages — included in the base fare. Departure windows cluster between 09:00 and 14:00 to capitalise on morning light angles that illuminate the sea caves' interiors and to avoid the late-afternoon tramontana winds that roughen the channel crossing between Malta and Comino. The return passage hugs the coastline past Mellieħa Bay and Armier, offering views of the red-sand beaches that contrast with the blonde limestone dominant elsewhere on the archipelago.

Your experience

What a tour day looks like

A step-by-step walkthrough of the visit — what you'll see, how long each stage takes, and the details that matter.

You board at Fekruna Jetty, where the catamaran's twin hulls sit low enough to step aboard without a gangway, and claim a spot on the forward netting or the shaded rear deck as the crew casts off into Salina Bay. The diesel engines hum for 15 minutes until the captain cuts power off Marfa Point, letting the vessel drift toward the first sea cave — a limestone arch wide enough to frame the catamaran's 12-metre beam. Sunlight slants through the cave mouth, illuminating the water in layers: cobalt at the entrance, turquoise mid-depth, and glowing green where the seabed rises to meet submerged boulders. The engines restart for the 20-minute crossing to Comino, and you watch the Maltese coastline compress into a tan ridge as the Blue Lagoon's cyan patch grows ahead. The catamaran anchors in four metres of water, the ladder drops, and you descend into a temperature that hovers at 24°C even in mid-morning. The sand bottom lies clear enough to count individual pebbles, and damselfish cluster near the anchor chain where passengers toss bread fragments. You float for 40 minutes, the twin hulls casting shade you return to when the sun climbs too high. The crew circulates with a cooler stocked with Cisk bottles and white wine in plastic cups, condensation dripping onto the deck netting. The return route skirts Crystal Lagoon — narrower, rockier, with kayakers threading between the cliffs — before turning northeast toward St Paul's Bay, the watchtower on Comino's ridge shrinking into the haze.
