Set sail on a small, vintage sailing catamaran to explore the hard-to-reach beaches of La Maddalena Arcipelago in a very small group of max 10 adult participants (on a boat that can hold up to 14). *If you want a bigger catamaran, please book our "Large" experience.

Enjoy a day of swimming and snorkeling in the turquoise waters. Savor a meal of Sardinian cuisine with antipasti, local cheese and cold-cuts, then a pasta dish of sea food, Sardinian wine and prosecco, beer, drinks, water, coffee, dessert and local sweet wine.

Choose between two starting points in the morning -La Maddalena or the port of Palau.

We will head to the Island of Spargi with its numerous, magnificent little beaches. If the sea is calm, we'll proceed towards the incredible natural swimming pools of Budelli, Santa Maria, and Razzoli.

On our return, you can choose to disembark to La Maddalena instead of Palau and visit the quaint town and its shops and cafes. A ferry back to Palau, available every 30min.

  • Disappointed and scammed

    Ask about the size of the boat… !!! 1st - poor communication at the dock meeting place. Wasn’t told the boat wasn’t loading at dock. We were Left behind and had stress having an another beautiful catamaran pick us up 30 mins late and then to find out we were being transported to a small old catamaran boat. This boat had ten guess on it and fits approximately 4 to 5 people comfortably. I would never take my kids or parents on this boat. We paid 450 euros for a budget boat instead of a luxury catamaran. The host was polite but had poor excuses for being late and leaving us on the dock. ( we were standing there an hour before boarding time) The food was a poor display of cheese and meats. The wine wasn’t any better. Thank god for the beer. The Boat was slow moving and spent move time on the water then our destination. And. When we final drop anchor, it was only at two locations instead of what was advertised Poor music, no speakers on board and bathroom .. Yuck”. We made the best of it because we had no choice. If this boat was dock during loading time, we would have walk away. We like the host, but it seems that he lack professionalism and presentation. We would rate this catamaran as 1 of 5 so people know what they are paying for… I have booked other catamarans in Greece other locations and never been disappointed . If I paid 50pp I wouldn’t complain, but at $450 I would have book a sailing yacht . The worst was how my fiancé felt about the trip.. thank god it wasn’t our honeymoon…😱 I use Violator for many years. And tried to stay loyal to them, but this experience and feeling of betrayal to the brand has may us think about looking else where to book for travel experiences Lets see how violator follows up on rating their vendors and making it up to their Loyal customers ….😕😩😡🤬

    The best experience with Michele such a nice host, a brilliant chef, and an expert in all the beautiful Sardinian waters. I highly recommend this! The highlight of our trip and can't wait to be back to go back out again. The views, the waters, the boat, the music, the food, everything was exceptional!!

    It was a really lovely experience. Michele was a great host and captain and we really enjoyed our time on the catamaran and the places where we stopped. The people were lovely too. It is good that they arranged families with kids on a dedicated boat - that makes everyone happy and comfortable. If I had to suggest any improvement perhaps I would say the food & drinks side could be improved - it wasn't bad but it wasn't great either and there is definitely room for improvement.

  • Gorgeous islands

    The waters and islands were stunning, exactly like the photos! The water is like a pool it’s so warm and clear. Definitely worth a visit. This tour doesn’t have the same catamaran as the photos and needs aesthetic maintenance, but besides that we had a great time. Michele was a good skipper and made us great pasta!
