Details
Welcome aboard our elegant sailing boat! We will take you on an unforgettable trip to the archipelago of La Maddalena, where you can admire the best places that this paradise has to offer during our visit to the islands of Santa Maria, Budelli and Spargi.
Starting from the port of Palau or La Maddalena, we will head towards the island of Budelli. After admiring the famous Spiaggia Rosa from the boat, we will enter the bay of Budelli to stop on a beach for 1 hour and 15 minutes circa, where you can take a swim and refresh in the crystal-clear waters. We will then continue to the island of Santa Maria, where we will stop for a 20-minute swim break from the boat.
Finally, we will make a last stop of an hour and a half in the beautiful Cala Granara of the island of Spargi, so you can enjoy the turquoise sea, the white sand beaches and the spectacle of the rocks shaped by the sea and the wind. At the end of the day, we will take you back to the port of La Maddalena and to that of Palau.

Nice trip and good timing. It's beached as a sailing trip, but it's actually a motorboat, but that's fine, given the limited time to do so much, sailing isn't safe. The good thing is that since there's limited space, it can accommodate about 40 people, unlike motorboats where there are large crowds. Well done to the captain.

Motorsailer with welcoming and helpful staff. Maximum 45 people on board. There aren't the 200-person crowds when you disembark on the islands. They take you to the beach by tender and pick you up at a scheduled time. We ate pasta with crab and pasta with tomato sauce on board; generous portions, tasty, and affordable. Recommended as a tour. The awning opens for lunch, which is then closed while sailing.
