You know those weddings where people say “it was magical” but secretly just mean “the cake was decent”? Yeah, this isn’t one of those. This is the kind of wedding where the entire ocean gets invited, and the only thing bluer than the sky is the insanely clear water around Comino.
If you’re dreaming of an intimate, breathtaking, salt-kissed wedding experience, then buckle up (or, well, untie the ropes)—because a private boat wedding tour in Comino might just be the wildly romantic, photographer-approved kind of escape you never knew you needed.
🌊 Why Choose a Private Wedding Boat Tour in Comino?
First off—privacy. This isn’t a beach where someone’s uncle stumbles into your shot holding a beer and a sunburn. A private boat means it’s you, your love, a few lucky guests, and the Mediterranean sea sparkling like it’s been waiting just for you.
Plus, flexibility. Want a sunrise vow exchange followed by mimosas on deck? Or a sunset ceremony with golden light bouncing off the water and painting your kiss in firelight? It’s your boat. Your day. Your rules.
🏝️ Meet Comino: Malta’s Secluded Gem
Comino is that small, ridiculously photogenic island floating between Malta and Gozo. It’s got turquoise coves, dramatic cliffs, and the world-famous Blue Lagoon, which looks like someone cranked the saturation slider all the way up.
This place doesn’t just set the scene—it is the scene. And from the deck of a private boat, you get front-row views to everything. Crystal Lagoon, Santa Marija Caves, even the old watchtower… it’s like your personal storybook of sea, stone, and sunshine.
🛥️ What to Expect on Your Boat Wedding Day
Planning your itinerary is half the fun. Most couples love to:
-
Anchor at the Blue Lagoon for the ceremony. The water here? Unreal.
-
Snorkel in Crystal Lagoon after saying “I do.”
-
Sail past Santa Marija Caves, which honestly look like something out of a pirate romance novel.
-
Toast champagne as the sun melts into the sea.
Companies like Outdoor Explorers Malta and Boat Tours Comino offer customizable wedding experiences. Some even offer drone footage. (Yes, the birds-eye shot of your kiss is as cinematic as it sounds.)
📸 A Photographer’s Paradise
As a destination wedding photographer, let me tell you—this kind of light and landscape is pure gold. The movement of the water, the reflection of the skies, the wind catching your veil… It’s candid meets editorial, with nature doing half the work.
Planning a boat wedding? Book your photographer early—sea shoots take experience and coordination (plus waterproof gear 😉).
🍋 Add a Dash of Maltese Magic
Why not infuse your day with a little local flavor?
-
Serve pastizzi and Maltese ftira on deck.
-
Sip Cisk beer or local wines as you cruise.
-
Play a live mandolin set or traditional għana folk tunes for that authentic island vibe.
You’re not just having a wedding—you’re having a Maltese wedding adventure.
✔️ Quick Tips: Boat Wedding Edition
-
Weather Watch: Plan for good weather—but always have a backup date or time just in case Neptune has plans.
-
Outfit Ideas: Lightweight fabrics, secure hairstyles, barefoot (or nautical shoes). Flowing dresses look divine on deck.
-
Guest List: Keep it intimate. Most private boats accommodate up to 20 people.
-
Motion Sickness? Bring ginger tablets or seabands. Champagne only helps some of the time 😅
📝 Is It Legal to Get Married on a Boat in Malta?
Yes—but there’s a catch. The legal ceremony must be held on land by a licensed officiant. So, many couples either:
-
Do the paperwork at a registry office before/after, or
-
Arrange a symbolic ceremony on the boat (which, let’s be honest, is the part people remember!).
Consult a Maltese wedding planner or your boat tour provider—they often assist with logistics and permits.
❓ FAQ — Because We Know You’re Wondering
Can we get married in the Blue Lagoon?
Yes, symbolically. It’s one of the dreamiest ceremony spots on the island.
How long do the tours last?
Most private charters are half-day or full-day, but you can often extend into sunset hours.
Is it child/family friendly?
Definitely—just plan ahead for safety and snacks.
Do we need to bring food and drinks?
Some boats provide catering, others allow BYO. Always confirm in advance.
