Full description
On one side a modern motor vessel recently restored for maximum passenger comfort on board. On the other a ten-year crew that has collected stories over time (and is eager to tell them).
All this on our motorboat tour of the La Maddalena Archipelago, a day on board, ashore and at sea! Sail between the islands of Spargi, Budelli, Santa Maria and Santo Stefano, go down to the beach for swimming breaks and come ashore to explore the historic centre of the island of La Maddalena.
Dive, literally, into the beautiful natural setting of the Sardinian sea!
What we will do
I will be waiting for you at 09:30 at the meeting point in Palau (SS). After checking in at the ticket office you will go to the pier, where I will be waiting to welcome you on board my motorboat to spend a day together in the La Maddalena Archipelago accompanied by the crew's stories.
Once we have finished boarding all the passengers, at 10.30 a.m. we will be ready to set sail! Our first stop isSpargi Island, which will give us a panoramic view of the main natural attractions: Cala Connari, Cala dell'Amore, Cala Granara and Cala Soraya. Up to Cala Corsara, where we will witness the rocky spectacle of the Testa della Strega (Witch's Head), the Bulldog Dog andItaly in miniature.
We will continue on to Passo degli Asinelli, the islets Paduleddi and Stramanari until we reach Porto della Madonna, one of the most beautiful beaches onBudelli Island; it is in this natural pool that we will land for a beach break. Not only that: this island is also the guardian of the famous Pink Beach, symbol of the archipelago, which we will not fail to spot.
Our next stop will be theisland of Santa Maria, for a second stop on the beach; here there is also an ancient Benedictine monastery, which is said to have been the first inhabitants of the island! Navigation will then take us to theisland of Santo Stefano, historically known as the site of Napoleon's battle.
Our destination will be theisland of Maddalena, where we will land. We will then go ashore and explore the historic centre, from Piazza Comando to the Admiralty Palace to Via Garibaldi; let the crew advise you of the must-see (and hidden) attractions!
We will finally return to the meeting point, for a total experience of about 8 hours.
