Spend 8 hours cruising the La Maddalena National Park from Santa Teresa Gallura. Swim at Spargi and Santa Maria, enjoy onboard pasta.
“Punctual itinerary. Friendly and professional staff. Recorded translation guide difficult to hear at times but the views made up for the missed information. Beautiful beaches for swimming. Popular spots for many tour boats so expect crowds at each stop - again, the scenery & beautiful clear water made the experience worthwhile. Loved the seafood pasta for lunch.”

Sail through La Maddalena from Porto Pollo with snorkel stops, a Sardinian lunch on board, and a small-group sailing day around protected waters.
“We had an unforgettable boat tour with our amazing and adventurous skipper Eddie and captain Enzo who radiated so much calmness. Both are incredibly professional. They took us to the three famous islands around La Maddalena, where we discovered the most stunning beach—without any rush. It felt like we had all the time in the world to soak it in. The whole tour was an adventure but also super calm, as we actually sailed without motor half of the time. Eddie also made us a delicious homemade lunch on board and gave us plenty of drinks to keep us refreshed. The entire team and all passengers were incredibly friendly and…”
Sail from Stintino to Asinara National Park for boat swims, La Pelosa views, and a seafood lunch with Vermentino and grappa.
“Excellent! We enjoyed the stops, feeding the fish, swimming off the boat, Asinara island with the albino donkeys and the herd of wild horses who put up a parade for us (!!), the aperitif with plenty of wine, the lunch with mussels, the coffee with the special ring biscuit, everything really, but especially the sailing back with sails, no engine (we wish there was more of that). Giorgio was superb with everything. We enjoyed meeting our fellow passengers too, but it was a little crowded with 10 of us onboard.”
Full-day Cagliari coast tour to Chia and Tuerredda, with local guide stops, headsets, AC, and a flamingo pond viewpoint.
