Itinerary
Stop in one of the wonderful bays of the island of Spargi, the first stop of the Maddalena Archipelago, where you can snorkel and swim in the incredibly transparent and turquoise water, swimming to the fantastic white beaches of this beautiful island.
Pass by: We will take photos in front of one of the most enchanting and protected beaches in the world: the famous Pink Beach, one of the most spectacular phenomena of nature. Spiaggia Rosa is part of the Maddalena geomarine National Park, an area of inestimable naturalistic interest. It is subject to a particular protection, which is why it is not possible to walk on the beach or swim in its shore. The island, located just north of Spargi, is famous for the mythical pink beach. The coral-colored beach, the chromatic intensity of the colors of the sea and the shapes of the granites that surround the cove constitute a unique spectacle in the world. A natural monument to be observed in religious silence. The pink beach of Budelli - immortalized by the director Michelangelo Antonioni with a very long sequence in the film "Red desert" - is located south-east of the island of Budelli in the Archipelago of La Maddalena and is so defined because of its characteristic pink color coral. THE
The Port of the Madonna, or Manto della Madonna, is located in the northern part of the archipelago, an area between the islands of Budelli, Razzoli and Santa Maria. it constitutes a spectacular mirror of crystalline water, a real natural swimming pool, dotted with small beaches characterized by fine white sand facing a clear and transparent sea. In some coves you can swim while some are prohibited to preserve this miraculous natural spectacle unique in the world.
Razzoli and Santa Maria They are almost united by the Asinelli Pass. The island of Razzoli is the most exposed to the north and impresses with the majesty of its cliff and the shapes of its rocks, similar to Moore's sculptures. Impressive and suggestive the lighthouse overlooking the Bocche di Bonifacio. In S.Maria, however, where some houses built before the building prohibitions arise, there is still an ancient and modest convent where in the Middle Ages the Benedictine monks, fleeing from Bonifacio, found refuge. The island has a beautiful beach, Cala S.Maria, one of the largest in the archipelago. In the peace of S. Maria the screenwriter Franco Solinas, one of the most prestigious authors of world cinema, wrote many pages of the most important films of Italian "committed" cinema. Gian Maria Volontè rests in the suggestion of these places, sailing solitary among the islands and in the impetuous wind of the Archipelago. The Porto Madonna This is the name of the lagoon with an emerald sea enclosed between the islands of Budelli, Razzoli and S.Maria. It is undoubtedly the most suggestive place in the park. Popular destination for boaters who frequent the sea in the north east of Sardinia. In this extraordinary body of water, the Park has reserved large areas of the sea dedicated to snorkeling and seawatching.

Traveler reviews
Boat paradise in the Mediterranean sea
It was phenomenal our guides, Alberto, and his captain were amazing ! She was knowledgeable and the boat was super comfortable with a group of 16 people ! They planned it perfectly for stops at beaches, snorkeling, paddle boarding, and had noodles to be able to enjoy time in the water. Drinks and food were served and was a great way to enjoy an 8 hour boat day. As someone who travels all over the world this was one excursion. Everyone should take part of when they’re visiting Sardinia.
Relaxed tour
Amazing and relaxed tour, great captain and tour guide.
The best boat tour

Catiamaran & Umberto, trip to the Archipelago of Madalena
Visited places were very beautiful, the food was excellent but the q most marked was the mood, the good disposition and the sympathy of Umberto and Catia that always surrounded us with attention. Congratulations.
Absolute must boat tour!
One of the better boat tours we’ve been on in our journeys around the world. Beautiful beaches, crystal clear water and amazing staff. Alberto and Katja were incredible. We travelled with our 4 & 7 year old kids who had the absolute time of their lives. Everyone was accommodated to the fullest from go, with beer and wine (and water) for adults and juice and soda for the kiddos. The crew prepared a wonderful apertif and lunch for everyone on board. We were taken to incredible beaches and swimming areas and never felt rushed. I can’t honestly imagine a better way to spend a day and would highly recommend this for anyone even remotely interested in La Maddelena Archipelago. Ask for Alberto & Katja if you want the perfect day!
