Spend time out on the water exploring the La Maddalena Archipelago on a spacious catamaran with a small group. This experience blends swimming, relaxed cruising, and a freshly prepared Sardinian brunch served on board.
The day begins with departure from Porto Pozzo, heading straight into the open waters of the La Maddalena Archipelago. As you move through the islands, the changing colours of the sea and the scattered coastline create a constantly shifting backdrop. The route is shaped by the conditions on the day, allowing the skipper to choose the most suitable locations for both comfort and scenery.
Several stops are made in quiet bays, giving you the chance to get into the water whenever you feel like it. Whether you prefer a swim, a snorkel, or simply floating in clear surroundings, each stop offers something slightly different. Paddleboards are available for those who want to explore a little further from the boat, while others may choose to stay on deck and take in the surroundings at their own pace.
During the experience, a Sardinian-style brunch is served, featuring a variety of local products alongside drinks. This is spread out across the day, allowing you to enjoy food and time in the water without feeling rushed. Between stops, there’s time to relax, sunbathe, or sit back and enjoy the steady movement of the catamaran as it travels between islands.
Departing from Porto Pozzo, this experience begins in a quieter part of the northern Sardinian coastline, just a short distance from Palau. The area provides direct access to the La Maddalena Archipelago, meaning you can reach the islands quickly without passing through crowded marina routes. The coastline here is known for its natural inlets and clear water, setting the tone from the very start.
The archipelago itself is made up of several islands, including Spargi, Budelli and Santa Maria. Each offers different coastal features, from shallow sandy areas to rocky coves with deeper water. Travelling by catamaran allows access to these spots with ease, offering a way to experience the islands from the water rather than from land-based viewpoints.
No previous experience is required to take part in this activity. The catamaran provides a stable environment, and the overall pace is designed to be comfortable for a wide range of participants. You should feel at ease being on the water and able to enter and exit the sea if you plan to swim.
It’s recommended to bring swimwear, a towel, sunscreen, sunglasses, and a hat for sun protection. A light jacket or windbreaker can be useful if there is a breeze, and simple footwear such as flip-flops or soft shoes is ideal for on-board use. Snorkelling equipment is provided, although you are welcome to bring your own if preferred.
The experience is designed around small groups, allowing for a more personal and comfortable atmosphere on board. With limited numbers, there is plenty of space to relax, move around, and enjoy each stop without feeling crowded or restricted.
Local knowledge plays a key role in shaping the day, helping to choose suitable routes and anchor points based on conditions. The aim is to offer a balanced experience that combines time in the water, good food, and a relaxed pace throughout, creating a day that feels natural rather than structured.
