La Maddalena Archipelago

Full-Day Catamaran Excursion in the La Maddalena Archipelago

Sail through protected waters, discover hidden bays, and share a fresh fish lunch between sky and sea.


A La Maddalena Archipelago catamaran tour offers one of the most rewarding ways to experience Sardinia's celebrated island group, combining genuine sailing comfort with access to beaches that remain unreachable by road.

Aboard a spacious 12-metre catamaran with a beam of nearly seven metres, passengers enjoy a stable, open platform ideal for those who want to explore without the discomfort of a narrow hull. The vessel accommodates a maximum of twelve guests alongside a professional skipper and a crew member, keeping the atmosphere personal and unhurried.

An experienced skipper selects the daily route based on sea and wind conditions, navigating toward the most scenic corners of the archipelago. The flexibility of the itinerary means each trip reflects the best the sea offers on that particular day.

Tour Highlights

Swim in turquoise waters at legendary bays including Spargi, Budelli, and Santa Maria.

An expert skipper navigates toward the best anchorages chosen fresh each morning.

A fish-based lunch prepared with local products is served on board in a scenic setting.

Small group of up to twelve passengers ensures an intimate, relaxed atmosphere throughout.

Flexible dual departure points at Palau and La Maddalena to suit your accommodation.

Visit up to five protected island destinations within the La Maddalena National Park.

How the Day Unfolds

1
Departure from Palau or La Maddalena

Guests boarding at La Maddalena join the catamaran first, followed by those embarking at Palau. The crew briefly outlines the day's planned route and safety information before casting off.

2
Sailing toward the Island of Spargi

The catamaran heads toward Spargi, one of the most picturesque islands in the archipelago, with rocky coastlines and pale sandy coves. Passengers can sit on deck, take in the scenery, and enjoy the breeze.

3
Swimming and Snorkelling Stops

The skipper selects the best anchorages among Spargi, Budelli, Santa Maria, Razzoli, and Caprera depending on conditions. Guests have time to swim, snorkel, and explore the shoreline at each stop.

4
Lunch on Board

A fresh fish-based meal prepared with typical Sardinian products is served while the catamaran is anchored in a sheltered bay. The setting provides a memorable backdrop for a relaxed midday break.

5
Afternoon Sailing and Final Stops

After lunch the crew continues to one or more additional anchorages, maximising time in the water during the warmest part of the afternoon. The Hi-Fi music system adds a relaxed atmosphere on deck.

6
Return to Port

The catamaran sails back to La Maddalena and Palau, completing a full day on the water. Guests disembark with time to explore either town before the evening.
