Full description
Set sail aboard Virginia and experience theLa Maddalena Archipelago in comfort, nature and authenticity!
This itinerary will touch Cala dell'Amore on the island of Spargi, exclusively reserved for the boat's guests, the iconic Piscine Naturali or Porto della Madonna and the historic centre of La Maddalena.
Ample space and every comfort await you on board: from the standard deck, comfortable and shaded, to the VIP and private deck, for those seeking an even more relaxing and private experience. The attentive staff will accompany you throughout the day, between dips, sun and fun. This is no ordinary trip: it's a special way to experience the sea!
What we will do
Embarkation is scheduled at 8:50 a.m. at the pier of Cannigione, where we will be welcomed by the staff of the motor vessel Virginia. At around 9.20am we will board and set sail to begin our mini-cruise in the La Maddalena Archipelago.
On board the motorship Virginia we will find three distinct decks: the standard deck, spacious, shaded and equipped with comfortable seating; the VIP deck, more reserved and panoramic, ideal for those who want peace and quiet and a privileged view - not accessible to children under 12; and finally the privé, an exclusive area designed for small groups or couples seeking intimacy and total relaxation. The deck can be selected at the time of booking.
During navigation we will be able to admire the majestic Bear Rock, a spectacular granite formation overlooking the sea, and the village of Porto Rafael, with its white houses reflected in the water.
The first bathing stop will be in front of the beautiful Cala dell'Amore, a small bay on the island of Spargi nestled in the wilderness. After about an hour of relaxing, swimming and snorkelling, we will resume sailing towards the heart of the archipelago: Porto della Madonna, known as the Piscine Naturali, a true paradise of turquoise waters perfect for a second stop.
We will then sail along the famous Pink Beach, protected as an environmental heritage site: it will be possible to admire and photograph it from the boat. Finally, we will stop in the historic centre of La Maddalena, where we will have an hour of free time to stroll around and breathe in the authentic atmosphere of the island.
After about 7 hours of unspoilt nature, dreamy waters and comfort on board, we will return to the port of Cannigione with our eyes full of beauty and our minds regenerated.
Who it is aimed at
The activity is open to all, with no age limit.
The VIP deck is not accessible to children under the age of 12.
The boat is not accessible to persons with mobility difficulties or in wheelchairs.
Other information
The activity takes place from May to September, weather permitting.
The motorship Virginia has 3 decks with different characteristics, which can be selected when booking: standard, VIP and private. During the excursion, you can count on two bars on board, one on the standard deck and one on the VIP deck, which are always open for drinks and fresh snacks. There is also a catering service with gourmet pizzas, prepared directly on board, with gluten-free and vegan options. There are also toilets, fresh water showers, free Wi-Fi and a multilingual audio guide app.
Out of respect for the environment and National Park regulations, there is no direct landing on the islands. During the bathing stops, the motorboat moors at authorised buoys located a few metres from the shore: in this way you can easily reach the beach in a few strokes or stay close to the boat.
By environmental choice, no plastic bottles are sold on board. You can, however, bring your own bottles/flasks and have unlimited water all day. Alternatively, water bottles with logos are on sale for €7.
You can bring your own lunch from home or, alternatively, buy it on board thanks to an extensive menu available to passengers.
On board you can download a free app and listen to the real-time itinerary in your own language (Italian, English, French, Spanish, German).
