Blue Lagoon gets loud tonight. This Malta boat party from Mellieħa mixes a two-story party boat, an international DJ, and stops at Comino and the Blue Lagoon timed for sunset. I like the open bar (unlimited spirits plus soft drinks and water) and I really like how the main Blue Lagoon stop gives you real time to swim and take photos.

One thing to keep in mind: it’s a sea-day, and conditions can affect stops or how comfortable the ride feels. Also, I’d pay attention to safety vibe on board, since at least one booking noted there wasn’t much supervision.

Key Highlights You’ll Care About

• Two-story layout: DJ and dancing downstairs, sea views and calmer vibes up top
• Unlimited drinks: vodka, rum, gin, beer, whiskey plus soft drinks and water
• Real time at the Blue Lagoon: a long swim stop with sunset timing
• Comino and Gozo on the route: Gozo is brief, Comino is scenic, Blue Lagoon is the star
• Adult-focused party energy: not suitable for anyone under 18
• Step-off and safety can vary: one report said there wasn’t supervision, and another said they weren’t allowed off at the Blue Lagoon

Mellieħa Check-In: Getting on the Medusa Boat Party

This tour starts at the Medusa Boat Party office in Mellieħa, where you’ll meet the boat party crew before you head out. Plan your evening around the party window of 6:00 PM to 10:30 PM, even if your on-the-water time feels more like a focused half-evening. It’s the kind of plan that works best when you already know you want to be out after dinner, not scrambling for a late ferry.

The boat itself matters. It’s described as a two-story setup, with one floor geared toward music and dancing and the top deck meant for fresh air and watching the coastline slide by. That split is smart. When you want noise and social energy, you go downstairs. When you want a break from the music (or you’re just trying to catch the light for photos), you head upstairs.

If you’re the sort of traveler who likes structure, this helps. You know where the party will happen and where you can cool off. If you’re more of a “quiet cruise” person, you should assume this one leans fun first and calm second.

The Open Bar: What’s Included (and what that changes)

The open bar is the big reason this tour costs what it does. You’re getting unlimited vodka, rum, gin, beer, and whiskey, plus unlimited soft drinks and water. That’s not a token pour. It’s built for an evening where you’re expected to hang out, talk, dance, and repeat.

And the details are practical:

• You don’t just get alcohol. You also get soft drinks and water, which really matters for pacing.
• There’s a food component too: one sandwich per person (vegetarian or non-vegetarian).

You’ll want to think about how alcohol plays with a saltwater environment. Even if you’re excited, you’ll enjoy the swim stops more if you drink water regularly and don’t treat the first hour like it’s a contest.

Also, since this is a party boat with an international DJ and a discotheque atmosphere, the vibe is designed for staying aboard, not “pop in, see the view, and go.” If you’re hoping for a quiet nature cruise, this won’t match that mood.

Gozo From the Water: A 20-Minute Taste

One of the first scheduled stops is Gozo, with a cruise time of about 20 minutes. That’s short. This isn’t the tour to build a deep itinerary around Gozo’s villages or viewpoints. Instead, it’s a quick scenic taste from the sea—enough to feel like you’re doing more than just bouncing between two spots.

Why that works: Gozo is part of what makes Malta’s waters feel special. Even with a short stop, you’ll get a sense of the rugged coastline and the geography that pulls people toward this part of the archipelago.

Potential drawback: if you’re the type of traveler who wants time on land (walking streets, buying snacks, snapping a cathedral photo), you’ll likely feel the clock quickly. With only 20 minutes, this portion is more about the cruise experience than a hands-on visit.

Blue Lagoon: The Main Event for Swimming and Sunset Photos

The heart of the tour is the Blue Lagoon stop, listed at about 3 hours. This is where you’ll want to spend your energy. The water here is described as turquoise and crystal-clear, and the tour is set up so you can actually take a dip and not just look from above.

This is also the photo-and-moment section of the evening. The itinerary includes a sunset stop at the Blue Lagoon, so you’re there when the sky shifts and the water looks its best. If you like sharing travel photos, this timing gives you natural light for portraits, group shots, and that “we were really in Malta” color.

Practical expectations: three hours sounds plenty, but you’ll be moving with the rhythm of the boat party. You might swim, then come up for a breather, then go back down for more. The longer you stay engaged, the less you’ll notice the passing time.

Important note from what’s been reported: one booking issue mentioned the tour didn’t let them off at the Blue Lagoon as expected. I can’t confirm how often that happens from the info provided, but it’s a fair reason to ask the staff on the morning of your trip (or at check-in) what the step-off plan is for your sailing.

Comino Island Stop: The Scenery Break Between Party Moments

You’ll also have a Comino stop during the cruise. The tour frames Comino as part of the scenery loop, paired with the big Blue Lagoon swim time. Even if you don’t get hours on land, Comino’s reputation comes from the way it looks from the water: rocky edges, small stretches of coastline, and that “this place is all about the water” feeling.

Why you’ll probably enjoy it: Comino works as a visual reset. Between the music and the swimming, it’s the kind of stop that makes you look around and appreciate the setting, not just your drink in hand.

Tradeoff: if your top priority is being in the water as much as possible, Comino might feel like the in-between part of the evening. Still, it’s a good complement to the Blue Lagoon, and the combination is what makes this tour feel like a real Malta water highlight rather than a one-stop splash.

DJ Energy, Dance Floors, and the Adults-Only Vibe

This tour is not suitable for children under 18, so the whole experience is aimed at adults who want evening energy. The boat has an international DJ and is described as having an on-board discotheque, with party music coming from the main floor.

How to make this work for you:

• If you love club-like vibes, you’ll likely be happiest staying downstairs while the music runs.
• If you want fresh air, the top deck gives you a natural escape from the loudest area.

The atmosphere is also social by design. You’re sharing an open bar, passing time together on the water, and stopping at the same swim location. That makes it easier to meet people than on a standard sightseeing cruise.

A small caution: one review noted there was no supervision on board. That’s not something you can fully predict, but it’s worth factoring into your own safety habits—watch your belongings, keep an eye on where you’re drinking, and don’t rely on staff to constantly monitor the pool-like chaos of a party boat.

Comfort and Practical Tips for a Smooth Evening

Even with an open bar, you’ll enjoy this tour more if you show up ready for a sailing evening.

Here are smart, low-effort things you can do:

• Dress for water time and for a warm-to-cool shift. Coastal evenings can feel cooler once the sun drops.
• Bring what you need for swimming (and keep your essentials organized so you’re not hunting for your phone or towel).
• Hydrate. Unlimited drinks can be fun, but your best memories come when you’re still clear-headed for sunset.

Also, this activity may be subject to sea conditions. That means your comfort level depends on the day. If you’re sensitive to boat motion, consider prepping for that.

And because transportation to the meeting point isn’t included, you’ll want a plan for getting to Mellieħa before the late-afternoon-to-evening start.

Price and Value: Is $73 Worth It?

At $73 per person, the price makes sense only because so many things are bundled together. You’re paying for:

• a multi-stop evening cruise around Comino and the Blue Lagoon
• an international DJ and party atmosphere
• an open bar with unlimited spirits plus soft drinks and water
• a meal component (one sandwich per person)

If you were to recreate this day yourself, it wouldn’t just be about a boat rental. You’d still pay for boat access between islands, then spend separately on drinks, and you’d lose the built-in entertainment.

So here’s the real value question: do you want a party boat with alcohol and music, or do you want a quiet Blue Lagoon swim with no chaos? If you want the party version, $73 is a reasonable deal for what’s included. If you want serenity, you’ll probably feel like you paid for the wrong kind of experience.

With an overall rating of 3.6, you should also expect that experiences can vary—especially around comfort, supervision, and how stops operate on the day you sail.

Common Concerns I’d Watch for Before Booking

I like being honest about where things can go sideways on a party tour. Based on the details provided, there are two themes worth your attention:

Safety and supervision: one report said there wasn’t supervision on board. That doesn’t automatically mean it’s unsafe all the time, but it does mean you should take your own precautions seriously. Keep valuables secure. Stay aware near boat edges. Don’t go overboard with drinking if you plan to swim.

Blue Lagoon step-off expectations: one report said they weren’t allowed off at Blue Lagoon, even though it was described as part of the experience. If step-off time matters to you—especially if you want to swim immediately—ask staff at check-in what the boarding and landing routine looks like for your sailing. Getting clarity upfront saves disappointment later.

Should You Book This Malta Boat Party?

Book it if you want an adult party-on-the-water evening with an open bar, an international DJ, and a serious Blue Lagoon stop timed with sunset. It’s best for groups who like music, mixing, and shared experiences—people who don’t mind the “party first” pacing.

Skip it if you’re mainly seeking a quiet swim and calm sightseeing. This is built for dancing and drinking, and the stop plan can depend on conditions and operations.

If you do book, go in with realistic expectations: hydrate, plan for sea conditions, and confirm the Blue Lagoon landing plan at check-in so you know how the swim portion works on your specific night.
