Experience an exclusive tour in Alghero that offers an unforgettable experience. We start from the port and sail along the historic medieval walls, admiring them from the sea. We continue towards the enchanting island of Maddalenetta, where you can swim and dive into the crystal clear waters. While you relax, our skipper prepares a delicious aperitif with local wine and appetizers, to the rhythm of music. Enjoy the sunset and a magical atmosphere, in total comfort and relaxation. Book now for a unique adventure! Due to the nature of our 1978 MotorSailer and the complexity of sailing, which requires specific wind conditions, the trip will be made by motor. We have chosen to focus the onboard experience on guests' enjoyment and appreciation of nature, rather than pure sailing. The two hours would not be enough for a real sailing experience, which would require strong winds, not always pleasant for those who are not used to it.

What are people saying about Sardinia

Zack_R, Jul 2026

10/10 Recommend!

Our day with Simone and Claudia was one of the highlights of our time in Sardinia! They took us to the most beautiful beaches and swim areas with plenty of time to relax and get in the water. They provided snacks, delicious pasta for lunch, and plenty of wine, water, and soft drinks. They also told us about the history of the island and some interesting notes about the areas we visited. Definitely give yourself time to find parking around the port because the parking lots get very busy but Simone was kind of enough to wait for us as we arrived a little late. A must-do activity in Sardinia!

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!

Best catamaran tour

The best catamaran tour I have ever been on. Captain Max was an excellent host whose boat was immaculate. He was outgoing and friendly and cooked a great meal of fresh seafood preceded by great snacks. He made multiple stops for all of us to swim, snorkel, or paddle about. Truly an experience to remember.

Great touring with this crew.

The experience was excellent from start to end. The crew welcomed us aboard and made us feel comfortable. There were plenty of meals and snacks available. The tour guide, who spoke in Italian, English, French and Spanish, was brilliant. The places which we visited were amazing and the two beaches we stopped in were breathtaking. Plenty of things to see and plenty of time to do it. I would strongly recommend this tour.

Absolutely wonderful time, Thank you for your kindest hospitality

We spent a fantastic day on the boat with Francesco and Stephanie and had an absolutely wonderful time. They were extremely hospitable, cheerful, and welcoming from start to finish. It felt like sailing with friends — they were attentive, supportive, and made sure everyone felt comfortable and safe the whole time. The boat was beautiful and very well kept. The spots we visited were truly magnificent — some of the most stunning places we’ve seen in Sardinia. The water was crystal clear and the scenery breathtaking. Thank you both for such a special and memorable experience. We highly recommend this trip! Warm Regards! Sabrina&Mohamed

La Maddalena Archipelago Sailing Tour with Lunch from Palau

Kelly_S, Jun 2026

Wonderful time

When you are in Sardinia you must take a day trip on a sailboat. The 41 foot sailboat was the perfect way to sightsee and spend the day. Our captain, Ilia and crew, Jean Carlo were perfect hosts. We had a lovely lunch and they took us to several great stops including the “Pink Beach”. Highly recommend this day trip. My only suggestion is allow at least 20-30 extra minutes to find a parking spot and you may have to walk a bit so allow extra time. 10/10!

Worth every penny!

This was a perfect day trip for a group of friends! We got to explore the most amazing swimming holes and our captain/skipper were communicative, friendly, and clearly knew what they were doing. The food was as yummy as boat food can be and we were given beer/coffee/wine as well. Would 100% do this tour again and highly recommend.

Perfectly curated Sardinian catamaran experience!

As a solo traveler, I couldn’t have asked for a better experience. From the moment I stepped aboard, Max and Andrea made me feel genuinely welcome, comfortable, and completely at ease. Traveling alone can sometimes feel a little intimidating, but they went out of their way to make sure I felt included and well cared for throughout the entire day. Their attention to detail was exceptional. Everything was impeccably organized and spotless, the food was delicious, and they shared fascinating information about each of the breathtaking places we visited, making the experience even more memorable. Their professionalism was matched by their warmth and kindness, and it was clear that they truly cared about making sure every guest had an amazing day. This was so much more than a boat trip—it was one of the highlights of my time in Sardinia. Thank you, Max and Andrea, for your outstanding hospitality and for making a solo traveler feel so welcome. I will always remember this beautiful day and highly recommend this experience to anyone visiting Sardinia.

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.

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!

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.
