Set off from Palau, on the northeastern coast of Sardinia, and discover the La Maddalena Archipelago aboard a very comfortable, refurbished 1956 vintage motorship. Your experience will be accompanied by the expert crew's information about the places you'll see while sailing and where you'll stop, including Caprera, Budelli and Spargi. You will see the most beautiful sights of the archipelago and be able to dive into the crystal clear waters of the Spiaggia del Cavaliere, the beautiful Cala Connari and admire from the boat the soft beach color of the famous Spiaggia Rosa. You will spend a day in the wilderness, between fun and relaxation, that you will hardly forget.

2.00A mediocre trip, the staff was not forthcoming. The information via the creaking sound system cannot be understood. The bar was closed when swimming, as soon as stragglers sat oh a dry.
Great excursion - highly recommended

4.00Very pleasantly surprised! The boat is neither too big nor too small. Everyone had room. The stops were beautiful! We were able to swim three times in turquoise water. Change is required to pay an additional tax (5€/person). I recommend!
Perfect, personal...

4.00The boat is not the youngest and most modern, but has charm. The ride on the upper deck was very nice, there was ample space. The places we visited were very busy, but if you use the bathing stops from the boat, it is huge fun.
A particular day
