Itinerary
Cala Coticcio, Cala Portese, WARNING : THE ITINERARY AND 'PURELY INDICATIVE, MAY BE VARIED ACCORDING TO WEATHER CONDITIONS , AT THE SOLE JUDGMENT OF THE SKIPPER, TO GUARANTEE THE SAFETY OF THE TOUR.
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. The Pink Beach is part of the Maddalena geomarine National Park, an area of inestimable naturalistic interest. It is subject to particular protection, which is why it is not possible to walk on the beach or swim on its shore. The island, located just north of that 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 granite 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.
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.
The Cavaliere beach is located in the northern part of the island of Budelli, inside the Porto della Madonna (spectacular crystal clear water, a real natural swimming pool, enclosed between the islands of Budelli, Razzoli and Santa Maria) and is characterized by a white and thin sand that faces a limpid and transparent sea.
Razzoli and Santa Maria They are almost joined 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. The lighthouse overlooking the Strait of Bonifacio is imposing and evocative. In Santa Maria there is an ancient convent where in the Middle Ages the Benedictine friars, fleeing from Bonifacio, found refuge. It has a beautiful beach, Cala Santa Maria, one of the largest in the Archipelago. In the peace of Santa Maria the screenwriter Franco Solinas, one of the most prestigious authors of world cinema, has written many pages of the most important films of Italian "committed" cinema. In the suggestion of these places rests Gian Maria Volontè who sails alone 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 evocative place in the Park.

An extraordinary day trip with family and friends. Luca and Barbera were very nice and open-minded. We even had a small dinghy with us and Luca showed us the most beautiful places on the bay before lunch. Overall absolutely recommended.
Ride with catamaran Buber, skipper Francesco and Giorgia
Very nice and pleasant experience, definitely to be repeated. Nice crew and attentive to customer needs. I recommend this ride!
Fantastic tour with great people
We spent a memorable day, the tour in the Maddalena archipelago is fantastic as well as the various beaches / coves chosen that the captain of the boat chose to visit. What about the crew... Floriano and Federico are very kind and extremely helpful, they put you at ease. Processing, between aperitif, lunch and snack, impeccable! Rating 10 with honors for everything!!! I highly recommend it to anyone with this intention. David and family
A wonderful day on the water
We had booked the catamaran for a group of 10 people and were very satisfied. After consultation with the team we had been allowed to bring a bit of wine/beer on board ourselves. We made wonderful stops and went to the Lunch a little longer. There were wonderful, typical Sardinian appetizers and pasta to the main course. Nino and Giuseppe(?) did a great job and also the communication in English was excellent. As the only “suggestion for improvement” you could perhaps offer a stand up paddle, as we had previously used this gladly with other providers (Sardinia & the water are suitable for this). A great day for us!
