About this tour

Explore La Maddalena's hidden coves and crystalline waters aboard a nimble 7-metre speedboat. This four-hour archipelago cruise navigates secluded beaches and granite outcrops that larger vessels can't reach, offering intimate access to Sardinia's most striking coastal landscapes. An English, French or Italian-speaking skipper steers you through protected anchorages and snorkelling spots, revealing why this string of islands captivates sailors and swimmers alike.

Highlights

  • Speedboat access to remote coves unreachable by tour groups
  • Granite formations and turquoise shallows throughout the archipelago
  • Swimming and snorkelling at quiet anchorages
  • Skipper speaks English, French and Italian
  • Four-hour flexible itinerary based on conditions
  • Private boat ensures personalised pacing

What to expect

You'll board a compact, quick-moving dinghy capable of darting between islands and into tight passages. The boat handles chop well but sits low to the water, so expect spray during transit. The skipper will anchor at several spots—some for swimming, others for viewing dramatic rock formations. Water clarity varies seasonally; bring underwater goggles if you plan to snorkel. The pace is relaxed; you're not rushing between listed attractions but rather drifting and exploring at the boat's rhythm.

Good to know

Not suitable for pregnant travellers, those with spinal issues, or poor cardiovascular fitness. Infants must sit on an adult's lap; buoyancy aids provided. Bring sun protection, a towel and water—soft drinks aren't included. Public transport reaches the departure point; private transfers available on request.
