Full description
Have you ever dreamed of experiencing a day like a real sea dog from another era? Join us for a vintage boat adventure in the La Maddalena Archipelago.
Accompanied by an experienced captain, you will discover that the sea is not only blue, but takes on shades you never thought existed in nature.
You will depart from Palau for a 7-hour tour among wild islands and sheltered coves. You won't have to think about anything except relaxing in the sun and enjoying a typical Sardinian lunch and aperitif prepared for you!
What we will do
The appointment is 15 minutes before the selected time at the meeting point in Palau. We will be welcomed by the skipper who will accompany us on this adventure in the Sardinian sea!
We will begin the approximately one-hour navigation within the La Maddalena Archipelago National Park. Our first stop will be the island of Spargi, where we will stop for an hour and a half. We will have plenty of time to swim and snorkel among the seabed rich in life, taking advantage of the masks provided on board or using our personal equipment.
We will then continue on to the famous Budelli Pools. Here we will stop for another hour and a half to admire unique light reflections and take incredible photos. During the stop in Budelli, the crew will serve a rich aperitif and lunch based on typical Sardinian products, accompanied by wine, beer, water, tea and fruit juices. It will be a true tasting of local flavours in the middle of the sea.
After eating, we will head towards the island of Santa Maria for a final one-and-a-half-hour swim stop, ideal for relaxing before returning. The navigation will continue past the most beautiful views of the archipelago, allowing us to fully enjoy the sea breeze and the sunbathing area.
Finally, we will sail for about 40 minutes to return to the port of departure, bidding farewell to the crew and taking with us the memory of a special day. The activity will last a total of 7 hours.
