Explore Spargi, Budelli, Santa Maria, and La Maddalena on a spacious Sardinian boat tour with swimming stops and onboard lunch.
“We enjoyed our trip a lot. There were 3 stops for swimming and one stop for walking around the Maddalena island. There is very tasty food on board of the ship, we had delicious bolognese pasta (there is nothing to eat at the beach stops). The crew is very friendly, overall we had a great day!”
Spend seven hours among Budelli, Santa Maria, and Spargi on a small motorsailer from Palau or La Maddalena, with swim stops and beach time.
“Thought this was excellent value and the boat was lovely. Food was a little basic, but quite nice and you can bring your own if you prefer. Drinks were very reasonably priced. Crew were lovely. I couldn't hear the voice of the guide that clearly, but didn't mind. The beaches we went to were the best I've ever seen. Good for kids, since boat is big enough to avoid most sea sickness, but small enough to still feel like an intimate sailing boat.”
Sail La Maddalena’s clear waters, swim at Budelli, Santa Maria, and Spargi, and enjoy a fresh Sardinian lunch on a small-group boat.
“Dimitri and Fabrio were the best guide what we had. They were really friendly and kind for us. They told so much about the heritage and history of the islands. The boat was so clean and well equipped. The lunch was more than enough and was really tasty. We are more than delightful choosing this trip. Thank you guys! Anett & Laszlo”
Review of a small-group yacht tour from Palau through La Maddalena, with swim stops, seafood pasta, local wine, and island views.
“It was amazing! The crew did everything to keep us entertained, well fed, and we had a very personable fun experience with amazing people.”
Cruise La Maddalena from Palau on a small boat with three swim stops, Sardinian lunch, drinks, snorkeling, and live commentary.
“We were only few people on the boat which made the trip very comfortable. The boat has an upper deck to enjoy the sun and wind during transferring between the stops. The lower deck has shadow and there was enough space for everyone. Vincenzo and Antonella were very nice and helpful at all times. The apéro and lunch was tasty and served at a marvelous spot on the sea. I would definitely recommend and compared to the big boats with many people on it was nice to be on a smaller boat with few people. Many thanks Vincenzo and Antonella!!”

Review of the La Maddalena boat tour from Palau, with four stops, clear water, Spargi, Budelli, Santa Maria, and La Maddalena town.
“Our whole family had a lot of fun on the boat trip. We were able to see beautiful places thanks to the tour. We also loved the stop where we could go straight from the boat into the water to go snorkeling. The whole crew was very personable and friendly and always helpful. Really great. Just a small note: our tour didn't start until 10:20am. Unfortunately, the description and confirmation email said the start was 9:30am and the meeting point was 9am. So we had to wait unnecessarily long, which was a bit exhausting with small children and the heat at the beginning. But the great crew and the tour…”
