Sailboat Trip from Santa Teresa di Gallura to the La Maddalena Archipelago

A full day of sailing, snorkelling, and fresh seafood among the turquoise islands of northern Sardinia.


This La Maddalena archipelago sailing trip takes you from the port of Santa Teresa di Gallura aboard a Beneteau Cyclades 50.5, covering some of the most celebrated waters of the Mediterranean in a single, unhurried day.

Under the guidance of an experienced skipper, guests explore an island chain protected as a national park, where granite outcrops, white-sand beaches, and shallow bays create conditions that are ideal for both sailing and swimming.

The itinerary balances movement with stillness: time under sail is punctuated by swimming and snorkelling stops, and a generous on-board lunch of fresh fish and white wine served against a backdrop of open sea and island silhouettes.

With a maximum of twelve passengers, the atmosphere on deck remains relaxed and personal throughout the voyage, making this a suitable experience for solo travellers, couples, and small groups alike.

Tour Highlights

Snorkelling in the crystal-clear waters around Spargi and Razzoli, home to colourful marine life and vivid seabeds.

Sailing aboard a 16-metre Beneteau Cyclades 50.5, a spacious and well-equipped vessel with a Hi-Fi sound system and outdoor shower.

Visiting up to three island stops selected by the skipper based on daily conditions, including Budelli, Santa Maria, Spargi, and Razzoli.

Enjoying a fresh fish lunch with white wine served on board while cruising past the islands of Santa Maria and Budelli.

Learning about local navigation techniques and the history of the La Maddalena archipelago directly from your skipper.

Travelling with a sustainable and responsible operator committed to preserving the natural environment of the national park.
