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!

Great captain and tour guide. Very relaxed atmosphere and a very interesting tour. Thanks for a great day!
Try to book off peak. Enjoyable trip but places you can get to see are very busy with other boat trips
Wow! We had the best day out on this tour. Our boat captain and first mate were extremely knowledgeable about the islands and took us to several beautiful swimming spots with stunning views. Aperitif was a 10/10 - still dreaming about the focaccia! Aperitif, lunch, dessert, drinks and the sea - beautiful day!
We had a very difficult time finding parking and were actually quite late for our tour but the captain kindly waited for us so we could enjoy this beautiful tour. Cannot recommend this company highly enough! Do it!
I do recommend allowing yourself adequate buffer for parking. We had buffer and still had challenges finding parking. There are multiple one way streets in Palau and if you find yourself going down one you will miss the turn to the parking lots and have a 7 minute detour to get back. We found parking on the opposite side of the marina (side with the “blue crane” and where the boat fuel pumps are). Hope this helps you!
Plan on spending a day of beautiful sites and swimming. Relax on the boat or at the fantastic beaches being visited.
An incredible day sailing around Arcipelago di La Maddalena. Our hosts Samuel and Sophia were friendly and welcoming. They made the whole trip very relaxing. We stopped at some beautiful stops and drinks, appetisers, lunch dessert and coffee were included. Would highly recommend to anyone wanting a full day sailing trip around beautiful islands off of North Sardinia :)
Bring your own towels. We had an amazing time! The scenery was amazing. The lunch was delicious! The two captains were so nice and attentive.
The scenery was fabulous, the sail boat was extremely comfortable, the snacks and lunch were delicious and the crew was very friendly and capable.
Seeing the La Maddalena islands up close, swimming in the pristine blue Mediterranean, and the gorgeous beaches are in and of itself an amazing experience. But to spend almost $200 to sit on a cramped sailboat boat with 9 (it was supposed to be 11) other people, serving cheap food and drinks just wasn’t worth it. Our captain and his first mate were lovely, but this was a mixed experience.
Here are better instructions for pick up- across from benthos is a concrete boat ramp where a number of small rubber boats are there on / off picking you up. Nobody knows anyone there so asking around gets u nowhere. . There are stacks of tours leaving from the same spot with stacks of boats- listen for your name or ask when a new boat comes in. If it is not yours they will not know who yours is nor will they tell you above. Be patient and do not wander around. Also arrive very early to find parking - it fills up fast so you may have try a different lot. It took me at least 45 min to find parking - streets are super tight and many one way. The boat is great , the guides are great, the food is excellent and the stops are very picturesque- highly recommend!
i loved this experience ! the food, the vibes, the views were absolutely amazing. we were with a very knowledgeable team and they shared some amazing facts over great food, beautiful waters and replenished drinks. my partner and i enjoyed the excursion! please keep in mind that you have to take a small boat to reach destinations!!!!
Make sure you get to the port 2 hours before sail time, parking fills up fast and is stressful! Once on the boat it was fantastic, Stan our captain was awesome and so accommodating. Umberto cooked an unbelievable sauce and was fantastic. 100% recommend this crew!! Thanks for an unforgettable day.
Was a really nice tour. Boat was spacious with areas of shade and we saw great spots for swimming. Would definitely do it again!
Our captain Elia (spelling might be wrong) was great. He is very experienced so despite windy weather and storms, I felt safe. The weather was bad today but we made the most of it and still got to swim at a beautiful beach.
Amazing day out. Took my two teenagers and they loved it. Stunning beaches, lovely crew, drinks and snacks. I was so happy we weren’t on one of the huge tourist boats. Instead it was a very chilled and relaxed day.
If you don’t want to be stressed at the start allow PLENTY of time to park. It’s crazy busy. The pick up point wasn’t communicated anywhere so make sure you go to the small slipway opposite Benthos bar. There are so many people it can be very confusing.
I had a great time and the crew was very professional and attentive! I felt I had enough time at each stop and I was not rushed.
Absolutely amazing experience! We sailed with Elia and Giancarlo and had the best time! They took us to beautiful beaches and swimming spots. The food and drinks were also a huge plus!
Depending on the winds, you’ll want to prepare by taking some seasickness meds prior to sail. The Farmacia has the perfect remedy. Ilya and GC are excellent and recommend them.
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.
Excellent!Great crew!Hit all the best spots.The crew gave excellent descriptions of the sights.
Made us all feel welcome!
Beautiful scenery and relaxing. Very nice day to spend on the water and see the sights with excellent team taking care of us.
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.
The boat crew was professional and fun to be around. The sites were gorgeous. Well worth the money..
Great day out! Well organized and the boat crew with Sofia and Oleg was super helpful. Really enjoyed it!
What an amazing experience we had on our sailing tour.
Our hosts were so friendly and kind and helpful.
Such an enjoyable and relaxed day out, would not hesitate to recommend to anybody looking to take a sailing tour from Palau.
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.
