Is the boat completely private for our group?

Yes, the catamaran is reserved exclusively for your group for the entire duration of the experience. This means you won’t be sharing the space with other guests, allowing for a more personal and comfortable setting throughout the day. Having the boat privately also gives you flexibility in how you spend your time. While the skipper will guide the route based on conditions, there is room to adapt the pace and stops to suit your group’s preferences.

Can we customise the itinerary during the trip?

The route is flexible and can be adjusted throughout the day depending on weather conditions and your preferences. While there are key areas within the archipelago that are commonly visited, the exact sequence and duration of stops can vary. This flexibility allows you to spend more time in places you particularly enjoy, whether that’s swimming in a certain bay or relaxing on board. The skipper will help guide decisions to ensure the experience remains smooth and enjoyable.

What is included in the brunch on board?

The brunch includes a selection of Sardinian specialities prepared using fresh, local ingredients. It is designed to be enjoyed comfortably during the day, rather than as a formal sit-down meal. Drinks are included, along with coffee, allowing you to relax and enjoy the food at your own pace. The experience focuses on keeping things simple and enjoyable while complementing the time spent on the water.

How many swim stops will we have?

There is no fixed number of stops, as the day is planned around conditions and your preferences. The skipper will choose a variety of suitable locations where you can safely enter the water and enjoy the surroundings. You’ll have multiple opportunities to swim or snorkel, with each stop offering slightly different views and conditions. The aim is to keep the experience varied while allowing enough time at each location.

Is snorkelling equipment provided?

Yes, basic snorkelling equipment is available on board for your group to use. This makes it easy to take part in swimming stops without needing to bring your own gear. If you prefer using your own equipment for comfort or fit, you’re welcome to bring it along. Either option works well, depending on what you’re most comfortable with.

What should we bring for the day?

You should bring swimwear, a towel, and sun protection such as sunscreen, sunglasses, and a hat. These will help keep you comfortable during time spent both on the boat and in the water. A light jacket or windbreaker is also recommended, especially if there is a breeze while moving between locations. Footwear should be simple and easy to remove, such as flip-flops or soft shoes suitable for use on board.

Is this suitable for families with children?

Yes, the private setting makes it well suited to families, as you have full control over how the day is structured. Children can enjoy the swimming stops and time on board in a safe and relaxed environment. Parents or guardians should supervise children at all times, particularly when near the water. Bringing suitable items for younger participants, such as extra sun protection, can help ensure they remain comfortable throughout the day.

Where does the tour depart from?

The departure point is Porto Pozzo, located near Palau in North Sardinia. This area provides easy access to the La Maddalena Archipelago and allows for a smooth start to the day. If you are travelling by car, parking is available nearby. It’s recommended to plan your journey in advance to ensure you arrive on time and ready for departure.

Can we celebrate a special occasion on board?

Yes, the private nature of the experience makes it a good option for celebrating occasions such as birthdays or small gatherings. The setting allows your group to enjoy the day in a more personal and relaxed way. You may be able to bring small extras or discuss specific requests in advance, depending on arrangements. This helps tailor the experience slightly to suit the occasion while keeping the overall feel of the day relaxed.

🌊 What to Expect

The day begins with a private departure from Porto Pozzo, where your group will settle on board before heading towards the open waters of the archipelago. With the boat exclusively for your use, the atmosphere is calm and flexible from the outset. The route can adapt naturally to the conditions, taking in a selection of islands such as Spargi, Budelli, and Santa Maria, with time to pause wherever the setting feels right.

Throughout the day, the catamaran will anchor in a series of quiet bays, offering the chance to swim or snorkel in clear water. You can move between time in the sea and relaxing on deck, making use of the space available without needing to share it with other groups. The experience allows you to shape your time on board, whether that means staying active or simply enjoying the surroundings.

A Sardinian-style brunch is prepared and served on board, featuring local ingredients alongside drinks and coffee. This is enjoyed at a comfortable pace, fitting naturally into the flow of the day. Between stops, there’s time to sit back, enjoy the views, and take in the coastline as the catamaran moves steadily between locations.
