This was a magical day led by Yuri and Ines. They were incredible hosts, so generous with their time, knowledge and hospitality. Ines made us a beautiful lunch, she was incredible. Yuri was great with our kids, and so patient. Everything we saw was breathtakingly beautiful and we enjoyed the day immensely including the wonderful families and couples that were on the boat with us. Highly recommend this tour! Thank you Yuri and Ines!

Overall, good. Just a few things worth noting:
We were confused about where to meet. Yes, the meeting point address is provided, but there are lots of excursion boats in that area and it wasn’t clear which boat was the one we were to board. We weren’t the only ones unsure. Another family had the same issue and we were constantly comparing notes. We contacted the service provider using the link in Viator. It turned out none of the boats at the dock were our boat. Our boat was moored in the harbor and we were instructed to wait for a small inflatable boat which would come to shuttle us to the boat. That was the first we learned about that.
Once on board, the captain and the first mate were great. Lunch was adequate.

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!

Both crew and company were friendly and great. We made 3 stops at beautiful beaches for a relaxed day of swimming and snorkeling. The crew was flexible and were passionate about sailing. The boat was clean and the snacks were especially delicious.

There were 12 + 2 crew on the boat, which felt a bit tight at times. They provided a bottle of wine, 2 spritzer mixes, a few 1L bottles of soda, and water; they ran out of beer after 8 cans for the entire group, which was strange.
Parking can be stressful, so ensure you arrive 30 minutes earlier. They will pick you up via dingy from the meeting point.

Wonderful time! Great captain (Samuel) and first mate (Daniel). Great sailors and very attentive. The trip was very fun and educational. Highly recommend

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.

Beautiful day out on a lovely yacht. Plenty of opportunities to explore and see this magnificent area of Sardinia. The Captain and Sam were friendly and helpful and took good care of us on the yacht and when disembarking for our stops. Plenty of food and drinks. Highlight of our Sardinian trip.

We were cancelled on another tour (motor boat) Friday due to wind. Rescheduled quickly for this delightful sail. It was perfect - Oleg and Sofia were delightful captains/mates. They made our trip so fun and they handled every single silly thing that came up with grace and capability. Can it say enough good things about them!!!! Beautiful day we didn’t want to end.
Kevin_M, Jun 2026

It was a great experience. The staff were very kind, and everything was well organized. The places we visited were among the most beautiful destinations to explore on a sailing boat tour.

What a fantastic day trip. A definite must when in Palau. We were served snacks, a pasta meal and coffee and cake. Our hosts Uri and Ines went all out, making us feel comfortable. An amazing stop at the famous Budelli island (UNESCO site) pink sand beach, another stop for lunch and a third at a beautiful beach for swimming and relaxing. We even spotted dolphins in the water. What an incredible experience!

Not to miss! The hosts are absolutely lovely and patient. Amazing food and drinks on board too. I highly recommend!
Angela_B, Sep 2025
Ole and Florentina were amazing hosts! We were well taken care of throughout the day with aperitivo, pasta lunch with mussels and espresso with dolce. We visited 3 locations and were able to swim at 2 of the beaches. Definitely recommend this excursion if you want a low key day on the water with no details left uncovered.
Taylor_S, Sep 2025
This was an amazing sailing trip to see some of the most pristine beaches of La Maddalena, and with a beautiful crew who are enthusiastic about the stunning blue waters as we were who saw them for the first time. Great opportunities to take in the sun, swim the waters and into several of the beaches
Kent_K, Aug 2025
The boat was state of the art. Better than that is the crew on board. They were so welcoming and friendly, besides being top notch sailors. The sailing was exhilarating, the places we stopped beautiful and the snacks and lunch delicious. Do yourself a favor and book this tour. You won't be disappointed!

We had a wonderful day sailing with incredible stops for swimming and gorgeous views. The captain and co-captain were excellent hosts in describing the sites, always making sure we had enough to eat and drink as well as providing sufficient time to enjoy each stop. We highly recommend this trip. The hosts also recommended other great places to see in the area on land. Amazing day!

We had a great time. Seas are a little rough crossing the strait. Don't sit below deck or you will probably get sick. The beaches we saw were worth it. Amazing crew and great food.
Rebecca_W, Aug 2024
This tour was the highlight of our trip to Sardinia. Ines and Yuri were excellent hosts and we had an amazing time. My only feedback is the meeting point in Palau was a little unclear, you meet basically on the concrete boat ramp across from the Pier 1 cafe but this wasn’t clear beforehand. Ines immediately answered our call and told us where to go which was helpful. Ines cooked a wonderful meal for everybody. The boat was a great size for the group size and everyone on the boat was kind to each other. We would definitely definitely recommend this experience!
Vu_h, Aug 2024
Our host was great with all the guests! Very friendly and gave us the history behind the surrounding islands. We had a great time at every stop and the swimming was the best part! Only thing I would say that would've made it a more perfect experience is having more snorkel gear and SUP Boards.
