Small group water experience

We had a wonderful 8 hour catamaran experience visiting several sandy swim locations with the group of 12 in the northern islands . Captain Luca and Guilia were fabulous hosts explaining the local sites and serving a variety of snacks, drinks and pasta for lunch. A very memorable day with many float and sip opportunities:)

Wonderful day with amazing people

We had an exquisite day on the water with luanna and Roberto. The boat was beautiful, they were incredible and just wanted everyone to have everything they wanted; food, beverages, masks etc. Lunch was simple but lovely. Everyone on the boat was wonderful, from around the world and extremely friendly. We saw all the larger boats pulling into the same areas with a lot of people. Our 12 guests and 2 crew was the best way to experience the islands. It was intimate, comfortable and absolutely perfect. Would do it again in a heartbeat.

Best Day in Sardinia

Our family of four with two children ages 11 and 13 had the most incredible day out with Alberto and Katia. We made four stops for snorkeling and touring the beautiful beaches. All of their equipment, including snorkel gear, stand-up paddleboard, and Alberto shuttling us around in the dinghy, provided the most fun and adventurous day. Every detail was just perfect, including appetizers, lunch, beer and Prosecco, and drinks for the kids. They were incredibly kind and attentive, lunch prepared on board; penne pasta with local fish and the kids enjoyed a beautiful pesto option; all was delicious. Alberto and Katia were very knowledgeable of the region. They were great with our kids, specially allowing our daughter time on the standup paddle board and our son jumping off the high deck of the catamaran they had an absolute blast. We couldn’t believe that eight hours flew by so quickly. Five stars experience would highly recommend to anyone.

Very good crew, nice boat

Nice day sailing with 3 stops to swim. Snacks, lunch and beverages were included. Boat was in good condition, comfortable and had a nice quality shade cover over the cockpit. The captain and mate were both very personable and helped make the day enjoyable. We sailed between the stops instead of just motoring, which we appreciated.

If you're looking for the...

If you're looking for the perfect way to experience the breathtaking Maddalena Archipelago, please book this excursion! Our day with Claudia and Simone was easily one of the highlights of our trip to Sardinia. The scenery was simply spectacular. We visited some of the most beautiful beaches and crystal-clear turquoise waters we've ever seen, with plenty of opportunities to swim, snorkel, and soak in the incredible views. Claudia and Simone served delicious food and refreshing drinks throughout the excursion. Everything was thoughtfully prepared, and because we were with a small group (10 other people) it felt like spending the day with friends rather than on a typical tour. Their knowledge of the area, warm hospitality, and attention to every detail made the experience truly unforgettable. If you're visiting Sardinia, don't miss this excursion. We would recommend it 100% and would absolutely do it again.

Amazing boat, crew and tour! Loved it

The boat trip was perfect and exactly what we were looking for. It was a bit daunting when you saw it was a 7 hour boat tour with a 1 year old but there were many stops that you got 1 hr+ at and we got to get off at a beach as well so it wasn't just swimming off the boat which wouldn't be possible for my daughter. It was perfect, the boat was so clean and well kept as well as the bathrooms and the lunch was surprisingly delicious and well priced! The staff were incredibly friendly and helpful also. Would definitely recommend and hope to be back!

This was a fantastic excursion. All day boat trip with snacks, lunch and dessert and plenty of drinks to offer. Cruised around and made 3 different stops to swim. Nothing beats the water color.
