About this tour
Spend a full day sailing through La Maddalena's scattered islands aboard the Scugnizza Smeralda, exploring some of Sardinia's most striking coastline. This 8–9 hour excursion takes you to hidden coves and secluded beaches where emerald waters invite snorkelling. The crew supplies local food and drinks at each stop, lunch included, and handles all the seamanship while you relax on deck or slip into the water.
Highlights
- Sail between pristine islands in La Maddalena archipelago
- Snorkel in transparent, jewel-toned waters

- Full lunch provided aboard
- Paddle kayak or swim from sheltered anchorages

What to expect
Board a traditional sailing vessel and head out into calm waters dotted with granite outcrops and white-sand beaches. You'll anchor at several spots, each chosen for clear visibility below the waterline. Between swims and snorkelling sessions, the crew brings out platters of regional fare—cheese, bread, cured meats, fruit—and pours fresh water and soft drinks. Lunch is eaten onboard or ashore, depending on weather. Bring a hat and high-SPF sunscreen; the glare off the water is intense. Children are welcome (infants must sit with a parent), and no sailing experience is needed.
Good to know
Alcohol isn't served, though you may bring your own non-alcoholic drinks. Paddling and snorkelling equipment are included. Not suitable if you have recent spinal problems or serious heart conditions. Public buses run near the departure point. Bring a towel, waterproof bag, and light cover-up for deck time.
