24 Aug 2024 | Catamaran excursion to the Maddalena Archipelago with lunch

The Maddalena archipelago at ❤️

An unforgettable experience. A beautiful, unprecedented tour managed by Francesco the skipper and the very sweet Christine. Although in previous years we have toured the Maddalena archipelago twice with larger boats, we appreciated the versatility and adaptability of a catamaran that is not particularly large, but is able to fit in safely where other types of boat cannot. If we add to all this a top cuisine made of quality local products, then the result can only be excellent. We look forward to repeating this experience next summer.

A splendid day

Beautiful day spent aboard the catamaran driven by Luca and helped by Simone. They really spoiled us, starting with a rich aperitif of salami, cheese, bruschetta, chips, and accompanied by a good Vermentino or beer for those who wanted... stopping in strategic places and taking us to the coves in a dinghy, even to the pink beach! Wow a wonder! Serving delicious pasta, offering coffee, myrtle... in short I can only say, thank you guys x this wonderful excursion! I highly recommend 👍🏻

26 Aug 2024 | Catamaran sunset tour with aperitif in the Gulf of Alghero

A perfect evening on/in the water

I recently had the pleasure of experiencing an incredible sunset catamaran trip, and I can't recommend it highly enough! From start to finish, the journey was nothing short of amazing. The hosts were exceptionally polite and attentive, making sure that every guest felt welcome and comfortable throughout the sailing.nnThe combination of breathtaking views, excellent service, and delectable food and wine makes it a standout experience. I would recommend it to everyone!

23 Jul 2024 | One-day catamaran excursion from Stintino to Asinara

Exceptional journey

Small initial misunderstanding about the meeting point but solved immediately thanks to our skipper Federico who came to pick us up straight away (the agency had given us a different meeting point to the one where the catamaran was actually located). An experience to be repeated for sure, we went to different points of the island, one more beautiful than the other and Federico was very kind and professional. The trip overall was very enjoyable, we recommend it.

24 Oct 2023 | One-day catamaran excursion along the coast of Alghero

Fantastic day out

Fabrizio and Silvia are the most welcoming hosts.. everything was perfect. Food was very tasty and local wine was flowing. We stopped in 3 different locations which were amazing, crystal blue waters, lots of fish to swim with. They provided sup boards, kayaks and snorkeling gear and they also dropped the sails which was a memorable experience. I'd would highly recommend this full day trip. Well worth the money. I love Sardinia ❤️

19 Sep 2023 | One-day catamaran excursion along the coast of Alghero

Wonderful boat trip

We had the most wonderful day with excellent service and delicious food. The stops along the day were just breathtaking. We cannot recommend this enough for anyone who wants a full day of relaxation, bathing and wonderful views. The service was beyond any expectations and we felt at home sonHUGE thank you to Tania and Fabrizio for making it the best day for us in Italy! Hugs from Paula and Cathrina from Sweden

Day Boat Tour In The Maddalena Archipelago In Sardinia, Italy

Posted on Last updated: February 2, 2023

You know those photos of white sandy beaches with really crystal clear water that make you want to jump on a plane and head to the Maldives?

What if I told you there is a place like that and much closer to home? The islands of the Maddalena Archipelago fulfil every beach dream you could possibly have.

The best way to explore these beautiful beaches is by doing a day boat tour to the Maddalena National Park .

This guide covers everything you need to know about discovering these beautiful islands, including the best place to stay to visit them, how to get there, what to expect from the islands and more.

About the Maddalena Archipelago

The Archipelago della Maddalena is composed by seven main islands. The bigger ones; Maddalena and Santo Stefano are inhabited. The remaining ones; Caprera, Spargi, Budelli, Santa Maria and Razzoli are not.

When you do a boat day trip to the islands, this will usually take you to beaches in the uninhabited islands.

There used to be military bases on these islands so you will still be able to see abandoned buildings and lighthouses, which adds to the rugged atmosphere of the location.

The Archipelago della Maddalena today is a protected marine park , with a guardian living on Budelli island. 

It’s not everyday that you get to visit islands where there are no cities, towns or traces of civilisation, combined to the beautiful crystal clear water and white sandy beaches, it makes for quite a magical day trip.

When is the best time to visit the Maddalena Archipelago?

Despite popular belief, it’s not summer . Whilst in the months of July and August the weather will be fantastic with hot and sunny days, the crowds of people will be unbearable.

Ok unbearable is a strong word, but you get what I mean.

Tourists from both Italy and all over the world come to Sardinia in summer to enjoy these beautiful beaches, which makes your experience on a pristine white sandy beach not quite as enjoyable when there is no space for you on the beach to lie down.

Also, when it comes to visiting the islands you often won’t be able to visit the most beautiful beaches during your boat tour, as there are too many other boats around to dock close to the beach.

Cala Corsara on the island of Spargi in Sardinia

My personal recommendation is to visit in June, the weather is already warm, the days are still long and even if the water might be a little chilly, the beaches will be considerably less busy.

In September the weather is still similar and the water will be warmer, however the days are much shorter and you will have to end your days at the beach too early in my opinion.

I don’t recommend visiting in full winter , as the tourist season will be over and most services, restaurants and bars will be closed.

Regardless of the time of year, I can guarantee that visiting these beautiful islands will be one of the highlights of your Italy itinerary .

The crystal clear water of Cala Soraja, Spargi

Our boat trip in the Maddalena Archipelago

We went on a boat day trip with the catamaran of Sport Outdoor Viaggi . We set off around 10:30AM and headed straight for Cala Soraja, in the island of Spargi.

This beach is a personal favourite of mine, since it’s one of the closest from Palau to get to and you will feel like you’re swimming in a natural pool. 

We spent about an hour relaxing on the beach and when we got back on the boat our crew Alberto and Giorgio had a cheese and salami aperitif ready for us.

There’s nothing like swimming around in the beautiful sea to make you hungry! There is another bay in Spargi island which I personally really like, called Cala Corsara.

The beach isn’t as pretty as that of Cala Soraja but there are rocks that you can climb and dive off from.

The catamaran of Sport Outdoor Viaggi in Spargi

The boat set off again while we were still nibbling on our aperitif, cruising past the island of Budelli. We cruised past a beach called “Spiaggia Rosa”, which means Pink Beach.

This because back in the day the sand used to be pink thanks to corals present in it, but due to tourists taking away he pink sand with them as a souvenir, access to it has been closed since 1994.

Boats can only cruise past it beyond the line of buoys, 70 metres away from the shore. Nobody is allowed to walk on the beach or swim there, in the hope that over time the pink sand will regenerate itself.

Relaxing on the nets of the Sport Outdoor Viaggi catamaran at the natural pools in front of the Cavaliere Beach

The Natural Pools of the Maddalena National Park

On the island of Budelli you can also find the main beach of the Maddalena Archipelago; “il Cavaliere”.

The area in front of this beach is often also called the “Manto della Madonna”, the natural pools or “Madonna’s Harbour”.

This because this area is sheltered between the islands of Budelli, Santa Maria and Razzoli, and the water is always calm. Even on very rough windy days you can find calm and crystal water in the natural pools.

Swimming in these natural pools should feature on everyone’s Italy bucket list .

It’s referred to as multiple pools because due to the variety of the seabed (algae, sand, rocks etc) when you look at it from above it looks like lots of little pools.

In my opinion, this area is the most beautiful, but if you’re visiting Sardinia in July or August it is so overrun with boats as to not be enjoyable anymore.

The natural pools of the Archipelago of Maddalena at the start of July (not completely overflowing with boats yet!)

Which is why we only did a short stop in Budelli and then went on to Cala Lunga in the island of Razzoli. In Razzoli we did a longer stop.

While we spent an hour or so swimming around in the crystal clear water and exploring the island, Alberto and Giorgino prepared an awesome pasta lunch for us.

We stayed in Cala Lunga for lunch and a bit of post lunch break before moving on to our next beach destination.

We cruised past the abandoned lighthouse of Razzoli, and then stopped in a beautiful little lagoon, where we were the only boat there.

Cala Soraja, one of my favourite beaches in the Archipelago della Maddalena

Santa Maria

The fourth island, Santa Maria, we didn’t visit on this trip as we didn’t have enough time.

The Sport Outdoor Viaggi catamaran usually does three stops, and these always change depending on the wind and boat traffic.

Generally speaking these are usually first Spargi, then the natural pools and as final stop either Santa Maria or Razzoli, but this can change from day to day.

 Towards 4pm we started heading back to Palau. The journey back is a bit long, especially if you do it by sail, maybe an hour or so, but you can relax and sunbathe on the nets of the catamaran as it sails along.

Where to stay for your Maddalena Arcipelago boat tour

As previously mentioned the Archipelago della Maddalena is a national protected park and most of the islands are uninhabited. You are better off staying the nearby towns of Palau or Maddalena.

While Maddalena is a bit more lively you will be stuck on a small island with only one main town, if in the evening you wanted to go out somewhere you would have to get the ferry.

The ferry from Palau, on the mainland of Sardinia, to Maddalena costs 10 EUR per person return, if you add a car or scooter it’s even more expensive.

A half underwater photo taken with a Telesin GoPro dome

I personally prefer Palau even if it’s smaller as a town because you can easily drive around to other beaches or towns.

In Palau I would recommend staying in this lovely AirBnb  (Click here to get $30 off your first AirBnb booking !) close to the town centre, and not just because my mum is the one that rents it (lol).

Seriously though, it depends if you will have a car or not, because you can get villas in “Palau Alta” with stunning views over the Archipelago but you will need to drive to the beach which is a pain.

If you get a place on the beach will then be a bit far from the town if you want to have dinner out in the evening. I like being central because you get a bit of the best of both worlds.

Chilling at Cala Soraja, my personal favourite beach in the Archipelago della Maddalena

Where to eat

During the day boat tour of the islands you will usually have lunch provided for by your boat crew.

Before booking a tour make sure to check if lunch is included, if it isn’t you will have to bring something with you as there are no restaurants or cafes in the islands you will visit.

However once you get back to Palau after your board tour there are some amazing restaurants where you can have dinner. Some of the best restaurants in town in my opinion are:

“ Il Porticciolo “ is my personal favourite. It’s not the fanciest of restaurants, however the portions are huge and the final bill is always cheap. It’s also easily accessible as it’s just along the harbour in the town centre.

If you want an ice cream while you’re in Palau the only place you should get one is from “ La Gelateria dell’Angolo “ .

I’m Italian, I have eaten my fair share of gelato in my life so trust me when I say this is one of the best artisanal ice cream places in Italy.

Final thoughts on doing a Maddalena Archipelago boat tour

The islands of the Arcipelago della Maddalena are really an extraordinary place to visit, and if you get the opportunity I highly recommend you do a boat trip there.

It is the perfect destination for someone looking for a Maldive-like holiday, without actually going all the way there!

Thursday 25th of October 2018

Hi! I came across your post and I'm planning a trip to Italy next year end of May. Your post on the boat trip and Sardinia is very interesting, I would like to ask if you could give advice on how to get there from Rome and how much did you pay for the boat tour? It's my first trip to Europe from Singapore, and it's for my honeymoon, so I could use some help. Thanks!

Hi, glad you found it useful! There are direct flights from Rome to Olbia (the closest airport to Palau and Maddalena) that take around 40 minutes. You can also get a ferry but that will usually be either overnight or during a large chunk of the day. The boat tour prices range from 80 EUR to 120 EUR depending on the time of year, in May it should be around 70 - 80 EUR. Hope you find it useful and that you have a great wedding & honeymoon! :)

FULL DAY BOAT TOURS

Our proposals for your unique, personal and unforgettable boat tour

SOUTH CORSICA FULL DAY

If you are looking for a great snorkeling experience then it’s your time to explore the suggestive Archipelago of the Lavezzi islands.

The  South Corsica boat tour  starts along the  Nelson Bay  from the luxury  Porto Rafael   Village  up to Punta Sardegna. After about 35 minutes of navigation, we reach the inhabited  Island of Piana  where we can do a first swim break. You will be amazed by the transparency of the sea and the white sandy seabed.

Afterward, the boat tour will continue to the exclusive  Cavallo island . Beside, being a famous elite destination, this Corsican island is surrounded by wild and unspoiled nature. Here we do the second pause for swimming or snorkeling and if you agree we may have the tasty aperitif on board, a fine selection of local and seasonal food accompanied by Sardinian white wine.

Then, we will have a third pause in  Lavezzi Island  that is the best place for snorkeling as there are still several spots rich in marine life that haven’t been taken over by crowds. In addition, you will feel surprised by the weird and wonderful shapes of the granitic rock formations of this unique Corsican island.

During the way back you can enjoy a relaxing sightseeing of La  Maddalena National Park , we will sail through the  Natural Swimming Pools  and in front of  Budelli island,  well-known for its  Pink Beach.

We recommend this tour only with good weather conditions. In case of wind we suggest you to reserve the Maddalena Archipelago full day boat tour , that offers more sheltered places and shorter distances.

DURATION : ca. 6 ½ hours DEPARTURE : 9.30 am ITINERARY : Piana, Cavallo, Lavezzi, Maddalena Archiopelago SWIM STOPS : 3/4

WHAT IS INCLUDED : Food tasting and Beverage Snorkeling equipment Multilingual guide

CAPRERA FULL DAY

If you love wild nature and pristine beaches, Caprera is your next place to visit in Sardinia

The Caprera full day boat tour can be both shared or private. It departs from Palau port at 9.30 am and it last about 6 hours. The tour includes a tasty aperitif on board with a fine selection of local and seasonal products and white wine. We usually do our first pause in the beautiful beach of Cala Coticcio (aka Tahiti). It is definitely a must to see if you are in Sardinia. Here we will drop the anchor at ca. 50 mts away from the shore, in accordance with the park regulation. If you like the marine life, this is also one of the best spots for snorkeling in the Archipelago of La Maddalena and you will be sourrended by big groups of curious fish.

We continue the boat tour toward the south of Caprera and we may do a second stop in one of the amazing beaches between Cala Brigantina, Cala Portese and Cala Andreani. We will decide it according to your preferences and weather conditions.

You will make the third pause in one of the small bays on the west side of Caprera, the one that faces la Maddalena island. We will also sail with you around the island showing all the stunning beaches, the secret little inlets and the unspoiled landscapes on the north side. Being your captain also a certified tourist guide he will enrich the boat trip  with some odd historical anecdotes about Caprera and Giuseppe Garibaldi, the italian national hero who lived on the island for half of his life. 

We recommend the Caprera full day boat tour only with good weather conditions. In case of wind  we suggest you the La Maddalena full day boat tour , that offers more sheltered places and shorter  distances. For those who have little time available we suggest the Caprera half day boat tour .

DURATION : ca. 5 ½ hours DEPARTURE : 9.30 am ITINERARY : Caprera Island SWIM STOPS : 3/4

COSTA SMERALDA FULL DA Y

If you wish to enjoy Costa Smeralda at the fullest you should discover it by sea

The Costa Smeralda boat tour departs at 9.30 am from Palau port but we can organize the departure also from the nearby ports of Maddalena, Cannigione, Baia Sardinia, Poltu Quatu and Porto Cervo. The tour includes also a tasty aperitif on board with a fine selection of local and seasonal products and white wine. Your captain is also a certified tourist guide and he will be happy to share with you some interesting things about Costa Smeralda’s history and lifestyle. According to weather conditions and your preferences we will plan a route which includes some of the most beautiful beaches in North Sardinia.

We certainly do one of the three stops in Grande Pevero, an amazing white sand beach with crystal clear water, great for snorkel and swim. Then we will show you Soffi and Mortorio, two little pristine islands that are just in front of the  glamorous and beautiful Cala di Volpe. We cannot stop in Soffi and Mortorio as they are part of the Maddalena National Park and the anchorage here is prohibited.

We usually do the second and the third pause for relaxing swims and the aperitif on board in two of the many famous beaches of Costa Smeralda: Liscia Ruja, Capriccioli, la Celvia or Spiaggia del Principe. During the way back you will be surprised by the natural inlet of Portu Quatu and the luxury villas scattered along the coast of Porto Cervo.

We recommend the Costa Smeralda boat tour only with excellent weather conditions. In case of wind we suggest you to reserve the La Maddalena full day boat tour that offers more sheltered places and shorter distances.

DURATION : ca. 5 ½ hours DEPARTURE : 9.30 am ITINERARY : Porto Cervo, G. Pevero, Soffi and Mortorio, Cala di Volpe SWIM STOPS : 3/4

LA MADDALENA FULL DA Y

There will be a reason why the La Maddalena full day tour is the most popular one, discover it with us!

The Maddalena Archipelago full day boat tour can be both shared or private. We start coasting along Nelson Bay from the famous Porto Rafael Village up to Punta Sardegna. Then we reach Spargi Island where we do our first stop to swim, snorkel or go ashore. We next move to Budelli Island renowned for its Spiaggia Rosa (Pink Beach), a protected beach that we can only admire from the sea. Anyway, it is beautiful and it is worth it!

We do the second relaxing pause at the Natural Pools, a stretch of crystal sea water with white sandy ground between Budelli, Santa Maria and Razzoli. The colour and the clarity are so incredible that it seems to be in a natural swimming pool. Here, we will offer you a fine food tasting on board, a tasty selection of local and seasonal finger food, served with Sardinian white wine. Afterward, we may do the third stop in Cala Santa Maria or in one of the wild and pristine inlets of Razzoli Island. Usually, on the way back to Palau we like to skirt slowly the shores in order to show you the breathtaking granite rock formations beside the old and suggestive abandoned forts of the First and Second World War.

We recommend the La Maddalena full day tour with almost any weather conditions. If you have little time and you do not want to miss the Pink Beach we suggest you to reserve the La Maddalena half day boat tour.
