Bluewaves Watersports

Looking for a way to add some excitement to your vacation? "Bluewaves Watersports" is a popular water sports center that serves as the perfect starting point for exploring the crystal clear waters around the island of Comino. Located in a strategically convenient place, this center offers tourists the opportunity to captain their own boats or enjoy high-speed rides with instructors.

This place attracts sea lovers wanting to escape crowded beaches and see the beauty of the Malta archipelago from the water. It combines professional service and a wide selection of modern equipment, making "Bluewaves" an excellent choice for both beginners and experienced water sports enthusiasts.

The main feature of the center is its specialization in providing freedom of movement. Instead of being tied to the schedule of a large excursion ferry, guests can become captains of their own journey, discovering hidden caves and lagoons inaccessible from land.

To plan your visit or book equipment in advance, use the center's official contact details. This will help clarify the availability of boats or jet skis for your desired dates.

The main attraction here is undoubtedly self-drive boat rentals. You don't need a special license to captain a small boat and head to the famous Blue Lagoon or Crystal Lagoon. This gives unique freedom: you choose where to drop anchor to swim in turquoise water, and how much time to spend away from noisy crowds of tourists.

For speed and adrenaline lovers, "Bluewaves Watersports" offers Jet Ski rentals. You can race across the waves, feeling the salty spray and wind, or go on an organized jet ski safari where a guide will show the most picturesque corners of the coast, including impressive sea caves.

If you prefer a calmer and more eco-friendly vacation, pay attention to kayaks and canoes. Paddling along rocky shores allows you to see marine flora and fauna up close, look into small grottos, and enjoy the silence of the sea. Water rides like the "banana" or "Crazy Sofa" are also available, which will be great entertainment for groups of friends or families with children wanting to have a blast.

The "Bluewaves Watersports" center is based on the grounds of the Ramla Bay Resort hotel, located in the Marfa area, near Mellieħa (the northern part of the island of Malta). This is a strategically convenient departure point for the island of Comino. If you are traveling by car, follow the signs to Cirkewwa and Marfa, using the Ramla Bay hotel as a landmark. The hotel usually has parking for guests.

For those who prefer public transport, you can get here by buses heading towards the Cirkewwa ferry terminal or directly to the Armier and Marfa beaches. You will need routes passing through the northern part of the island. From the bus stop to the water sports center itself, you will need to walk a short distance through the resort grounds.

The most comfortable way to get there is by taxi or booked transfer. A trip from central tourist areas such as Sliema or St. Julian's will take about 40–50 minutes depending on traffic. Simply give the driver "Ramla Bay Resort" as your destination.

Although "Bluewaves Watersports" is a modern commercial enterprise and does not possess a centuries-old history like the ancient forts of Malta, its location itself has an interesting past. The Marfa area and the channel between Malta and Comino have been used as strategic sea routes for centuries. The Knights Hospitaller built coastal fortifications here to protect the channel from pirates and enemy fleets, and today, while riding a boat, you are actually retracing the routes of ancient patrols.

The development of water sports in this region began actively in the second half of the 20th century, when Malta started turning into a popular tourist destination. The calm waters of the channel and proximity to the Blue Lagoon made this spot ideal for creating a boat and jet ski rental base. "Bluewaves" became one of those centers that transformed the island's traditional maritime culture into accessible entertainment for guests from all over the world.

It is interesting to note that the waters around the base are often used for filming thanks to the incredible color of the water. Many tourists renting equipment here do not even suspect that they are navigating the same waters that served as sets for famous Hollywood blockbusters filmed in Malta.

The time worth allocating for a visit to "Bluewaves Watersports" directly depends on your chosen activity. If you plan a dynamic jet ski ride, then one hour might be enough for you, including the briefing and the ride on the waves itself.

However, most guests prefer to rent a self-drive boat to leisurely explore the coast and swim in secluded bays. In this case, it is recommended to set aside 3 to 4 hours or even half a day for the visit. This will allow you to enjoy the sea without rushing and visit the famous Blue Lagoon at your own pace.

The water sports center is open to visitors daily, seven days a week, which allows you to flexibly plan your vacation. Official opening hours: from 09:00 AM to 07:00 PM (Monday to Sunday).

This schedule provides an excellent opportunity for both morning sea trips, when the sea is calmest, and for renting a boat at sunset. It is recommended to arrive a little in advance of your desired start time to undergo a briefing and complete the necessary paperwork.

Exploring the surroundings of "Bluewaves Watersports" will give you the opportunity to see not only natural beauties but also the historical heritage of the region. Since the base is located on the edge of the sea, it is a stone's throw from here to the famous sights of the island of Comino and the northern coast of Malta. This is an ideal chance to combine active sports with a cultural program.
