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.

Best Madalena tour experience!!!
Our best experience in Sardinia, hands down. Alberto and Nina were amazing. We have sailed in many places, but this one was truly special. The boat was beautiful, and the food was amazing. Alberto and Nina were super attentive and made sure everyone was taken care of throughout the experience. It was the highlight of our trip to Sardinia. We recommend it 100%!
Great experience!
Overall, the trip was amazing, Nina and Alberto treated as extremely well. They were really kind and explained everything in Italian as well as in English. Food was great, from aperitivo with meats and cheeses to seafood pasta for lunch and fruit and biscuits. There were plenty of alcoholic and nonalcoholic drinks available. There was also a paddle board included. However, the first impression with the agency and organisational team was appalling. Wrong meet-up location was provided, which resulted in frustration on both ends as well as late departure.
Fabulous yacht trip 🛥️
Huge thank you to Alberto and Nina for a wonderful experience on a boat ! ⛴️🙏🙏🙏
