This is a MUST if you are visiting Sardinia!!!

Fantastic day on the beautiful Sardinian water!! Federico was a fantastic chef and great bartender. Max was a fabulous skipper and we had a wonderful day and met some wonderful new people. They could not have been nicer and made us all feel so welcome. We swam in beautiful waters. This is a MUST if you are visiting Sardinia! It was the BEST day!! We would not have been able to see such special areas without the boat tour.

Allison_O, Aug 2026

Incredible!!! Highlight of the trip!!

This boat tour was absolutely amazing! The guide (Pierro) was fantastic—he mainly spoke Italian but did his best to explain everything in English, and we really appreciated the effort. The boat was incredibly spacious and comfortable, which made the experience feel almost like a private tour. The guide took us to all the best spots, and the water was INSANELY blue! 💙 It was honestly one of the best days of our entire trip. Do not wait to book this tour!!!! We highly, highly recommend it! ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ just make sure to meet at the pier, and not the bar, they were waiting by the boat instead of the bar as per the instructions.

Wonderful Experience e

Augustine and Teresa were above and beyond great captains and guides. They took wonderful care of our six year old daughter and us. We loved the trip/tour; they were helpful, knowledgeable, and the food/drink were impeccable. They both spoke multiple languages for different parties on board. Our only complaint is that we wish the company would allow for a bigger boat or fewer customers on the trip as it made the boat a little cramped but that wasn't something Augustine or Teresa could control. We highly recommend this if you want to spend all day in crystal clear water while having amazing food and drinks with amazing company.

A fantastic experience...

A fantastic experience and a perfect day at sea! We were traveling with two young children and were initially a little worried about how they would handle the catamaran trip, but there was absolutely no need to worry. The hosts were incredibly welcoming, friendly, and attentive, which made the kids feel comfortable and happy from the very beginning. We all had a wonderful time and would definitely recommend this experience, especially for families traveling with children!

Amazing boat day!!

We had such a wonderful day on the boat! From beginning to end, the staff was incredibly friendly, organized, and helpful. They made sure everyone arrived on time, gave clear directions, and made the entire experience seamless. Throughout the day, we were treated to a delicious spread of meats, cheeses, and refreshing drinks, which was such a nice touch. We stopped at 2–3 stunning locations where we had plenty of time to swim, explore, and relax in the crystal-clear water. It truly ended up being one of the highlights of our trip—we honestly didn't want to leave! We couldn't have asked for a better experience. 10/10, highly recommend!

Amazing sailing adventure in the Maddalena Archipelago

Amazing to be under full sail for almost the whole day. The scenery in the Maddalena archipelago was sensational and we were treated especially well by Stan and Umberto. The swimming places that they found for us were exceptional. Fully recommend this cruise.

The best boat day!!!!

Wow!!!! What an amazing day touring la maddalena archipelago! Arguably one of the most beautiful places on earth! Our tour guides, lead by Guiseppe, were incredible! So much fun, so accommodating, and so knowledgeable. They had paddle boards and snorkel masks, and noodles for all to swim. Jumped off in so many locations. ....And the food!!! They prepared a beautiful spread at nearly every stop. And champagne, beer and juices for the kids. Top notch at every angle. I'd highly recommend for your family or friend adventurers!

A day excursion to La Maddalena

Catherine_O, Jul 2026

Highly recommend - this is a great day out.

This trip was great value. The crew were super helpful. Everything ran on time. Was a bit confusing at Palau as we had no real information about which boat to get on and there are many, many trips going at the same time. It’s a green boat! The only green boat. So wait for that one at pier 5. You can pre order lunch once you are on the boat (we didn’t - we took our own food). Spargi is absolutely stunning. Our favourite stop on the trip. Take snorkels and swim from beach to beach. Information on the boat is in Italian, English and Spanish. There’s a cover on the upper deck so you don’t burn to a crisp. For info: there’s a huge carpark very near to the embarkation point. Lots of free spaces and reasonably priced for the day. Overall it’s a really well thought out experience and we would recommend it!

Amazing boat trip experience

Great experience; everything was very well organized, everything on time; nice hosts. The boat is quite new and very comfortable; they were also cooking on the boat, we even had a quick stop for swimming while they cooked hot nutella pancakes. They serve drinks. The guide is in Italian, English, French and Spanish. The places we saw are absolutely surreal and enough time in each stop for beach time or town visiting. Totally worth it and amazing value for money!

Anna_A, Sep 2025

Super

I booked quite a few boat trips during our stay in Sardegna but this I have to say hands down was the best! The Skipper Antonio loves what he goes and it really shows! The locations on the Gulf of OROSEI were absolutely breathtaking! He is extremely knowledgeable and goes out of his way to share and take you to as many places as he can! All of us applauded him at the end 👏🏼This will be forever one of my most memorable boat tours ever! Definitely book this one! Grazie mille di core Antonio! Tu sei fantastic! Un abbraccio da America!
