Full description
Do you hear this silence? Scandalised only by the gentle sound of the sails billowing.
Aboard a luxurious sailboat, you will dive into the heart of the Maddalena Archipelago for a day of pure relaxation among the islands of Spargi and Budelli. Together with a skipper, you will explore remote coves and seabeds vibrant with life for a full eight hours.
Between dives, the smell of a good lunch will call you back on board!
What we will do
The appointment is 10 minutes before 9: 30 a. m. for embarkation in La Maddalena or 10: 00 a. m. for embarkation in Palau . Awaiting us will be the skipper and hostess who will accompany us on our excursion on board a modern 15-metre sailing boat.
We will set sail for the island of Spargi, where we will make our first swimming stop of about an hour. We will swim to the shore or explore the granite rocks surrounding the bays, using the snorkelling masks at our disposal. After the first dive, the crew will serve us a Sardinian aperitif.
We will continue sailing towards the island of Santa Maria. While we relax in the sun or take a second swim, the skipper will prepare lunch: an appetiser of cold meats and cheeses and a choice of two first courses - usually Sardinian gnocchetti alla campidanese or mezze penne with seafood - accompanied by wine, water and coffee. For the little ones, pasta with tomato sauce or pesto sauce will be available.
In the afternoon we will reach the famous Pink Beach of Budelli to admire it from the sea, before diving into the turquoise waters of the Piscine Naturali di Porto della Madonna. Here we will have about an hour to swim or use the SUP on board, ending the stop with a toast of sparkling wine and dessert or fresh fruit.
We will then start the return journey towards the harbour, enjoying the sailing as the sun begins to set on the horizon. We will first stop in Palau and then in La Maddalena for the final disembarkation.
The activity will last a total of 8 hours.
