About the experience

Embark on a stunning full-day boat adventure that takes you from the heart of northern Sardinia all the way to the edge of Corsica, exploring the most spectacular corners of the La Maddalena Archipelago along the way. With crystal-clear waters, iconic beaches, charming coastal towns, and even a cross-border experience, this tour offers the perfect blend of nature, discovery, and Mediterranean magic.

We begin in Palau, setting sail toward the elegant and exclusive Porto Rafael, a coastal jewel tucked into the granite cliffs. From there, we head to the calm, turquoise waters of Santa Maria. The journey continues to the legendary Budelli, home to the famous Spiaggia Rosa (Pink Beach)—a protected, otherworldly stretch of coastline known for its delicate pink hues and untouched beauty.

Midday, we dock at La Maddalena, where you’ll have free time to explore the charming harbor of Cala Gavetta. Enjoy a leisurely lunch, shop for local crafts, or take a stroll through the colorful streets of this lively island town. In the afternoon, we visit the dreamy Cala Corsara on Spargi, perfect for a final dip in its clear, emerald waters.

But the adventure doesn’t stop there—we cross the waters into Corsica, catching a glimpse of the unique coastline and feeling the thrill of stepping into another country by sea. After a day full of wonder, we return to Palau marina.

    A great day sailing around the archipelago, visiting different coves and swimming in crystal-clear waters. Our skipper, Amadeo, was very friendly and helpful, sharing anecdotes and stories about the area. We enjoyed snorkeling, and he showed us incredible spots. It's definitely an experience worth repeating, and the best way to explore and enjoy the archipelago from the sea.

    My compliments! Fabrizio, always available and reliable, was available on the phone. Amedeo, too, was a great skipper and sailing companion. The boat was perfect for its size, with super comfort both forward and aft. I always recommend adding a stand-up paddleboard. The six of us had a wonderful time! Thanks again

    We had a great time with Amadeo. He took us to several nice places and always tried to find the best spot so we could swim with the kids. We will totally book it again! He also made us a reservation to a great restaurant; so it was all very pleasant day.

    Great ride aboard the Sessa Marine Key Largo 27 ?️ between the islands of Santa Maria, Razolli, Budelli, Spargi ?️ with a great skipper Amadeo ⚓ who took us to great places to admire the seabed ? or sunbathe ? on the baths sun from the boat all accompanied by Sardinian specialties (???) The whole family had a great time, especially the children who particularly appreciated the step at the front of the boat which allows them to jump/dive?

    Nice boat but not able to sail without getting very wet! Sea was a little Wilde due the wind but this was not very comfortable. Skipper was kind person but no English at all. We think to much money for this type of boat.

    Unforgettable day!! We had an amanzing day we’ll remember forever! Beautiful boat. Has everything you need. The communication with Fabrizio was fast and friendly and our skipper, Amedeo was the sweetest! Although the communication with Amedeo was difficult (as we speak English and he speaks Italian), he took us the most beautiful places, was very kind and made us feel comfortable! I highly recommend to arrange your reservation ASAP! Thank you again.

    First of all, the skipper Amedeo is an excellent professional. Unfortunately, the same cannot be said of the owner Fabrizio. During the beautiful day at the beach in Caprera, the boat's anchor got stuck in the rocks of the seabed (which can obviously happen). I personally spent an hour in the water in apnea to help the skipper (while my wife and children waited on board) and I could not have made myself available. After having ascertained that there was nothing to do, failing in any way to free the anchor, the only possibility suggested by the skipper himself (after consulting with the owner) would have been to get rid of it, leave it there and return to port. So far, nothing to say, these are things that happen, of course we would have lost a few hours available to us but nothing to say. Unfortunately, however, the boat lacked the tools necessary to get rid of the anchor, i.e. a wrench of the right thickness or other tool to unscrew the bolt of the anchor chain in the bow locker (present and on board a modular wrench, but not working) so we were stuck there. In fact, the skipper had called to rescue a boat that would come after a long time. After more than an hour of attempts we were helped by some divers who managed to unclog the anchor and then finally set off again. Upon arrival, I informed the owner of the inconvenience that my family and I had suffered, deriving from the fact that the necessary (and functional) equipment had been missing on board to allow the skipper to solve the problem and that if we hadn't been helped by third parties we could not have returned to port and finally that we had lost a lot of time for which we had paid. The owner (who was not present on board) denied that the necessary equipment was missing (I was on board instead and the skipper did not have the tools to solve the difficult situation). If we hadn't been helped we were stuck in the middle of the sea. The owner's version was that everything was under control and nothing was missing. In a telephone call he clarified that everything was ok for him and he didn't even feel like apologizing and thanking for the help that the client had given the skipper and admitting the shortcomings (let alone reimburse at least part of the inconvenience). I therefore think I absolutely advise against this owner, while instead I recommend the skipper, an excellent seaman and a gentleman.
