Amazing - We really enjoyed the trip. Our skipper Andrea was great, friendly, helpful, informative... We stopped in various spots for a swim and had lunch at La Maddalena. My favorite spits were Spiaggia Rosa (pink beach) area. Although it was windy, we enjoyed very much. We were charged €650 + €260 for fuel. I advise to go only in good weather.

Great tour - We had a wonderful time on our tour to Maddalena Archipelago with our skipper Andrea (s) "Greek name". He was very polite and attentive when we asked him to go closer to the beaches. Tour was expensive but it worth it every minute. Keep up guys, thank you!

Amazing day on the water - Amazing day on the water! Would definitely do this activity again. Expensive but seemed worth it. My kids (4 and 6) absolutely loved it. Tour guide Andrea seemed very knowledgeable of the area. Took us to lots of good spots. Water is stunning blue in color. Really enjoyed exploring the different coves and bags. Swimming and snorkeling was fun for the kids. Although don’t expect to see much sea life. Few types of fish but not like other places we have snorkeled such as Hawaii or Caribbean. Either way that’s irrelevant the water was stunning We enjoyed a few drinks on the boat and had great experience overall.

Maddalena day tour! - Excellent experience at the Maddalena archipelago with our skipper Andrea. Andrea was amazing, he took us to the most awesome spots throughout the day. Having our own boat gave us the opportunity to visit areas where big boats can’t go and at our own pace! Totally work it the extra bucks you pay for the private boat!

Perfect day on the water - My husband and I had the best day on the water with Giorgio. It was a windy day and he found spots protected from the wind so that we had the most enjoyable time. He took us to several swimming and snorkeling spots and was extremely knowledgeable about the area. He gave us Sardinian wine to enjoy throughout the day and also spoke perfect English (we do not speak Italian!). We loved spending the day with Giorgio and would 100% use him again and recommend him to anyone visiting.

Amazing day out at La Maddalena with Giorgio - We had an amazing day out with Giorgio, he was very attentive and tried to find us spots that were not so crowded - he really knows the area well! I had a medical issue and he really tried to help us, trying to find medicine, making sure I was ok! The boat was very beautiful, cleaned and provided shade! amenities were also great and also the communication was smooth during the whole process. I really hope we can meet again!

The Perfect Day! - My husband and I booked this Dinghy rental for ourselves and had an absolutely wonderful time. The boat was very nice and our skipper Andrea took us to some exquisite beaches and areas. Since you can choose wherever you’d like to go, I would suggest doing some research on what areas in the Maddalena Archipelago you would like to visit. The skipper can provide good recommendations as well especially when you want to avoid crowds! We did have a couple of issues, 1. The pick up location that was communicated to us was not the one we chose when booking the option. When the company sent me a message to verify on What’s App I should’ve looked closer and verified instead of immediately assuming they chose the location we picked. 2. There was no snorkeling gear on board as mentioned in the listing. The water is so beautiful so I think we would have really enjoyed having that equipment. Overall we had an excellent day and recommend that anyone visiting Sardegna book this experience.

DO NOT BOOK. SCAMMER. BAD SERVICE. - Obviously the location is beautiful which has nothing to do with the service. The private boat we booked from 9-5 was shortened to 10:30-4:30. They did not provide any information on the difficulty of parking in the area. Most companies would be helpful with those types of information to ensure a smooth arrival. They sent us to the wrong slip and the communication prior to arrival was practically non existent. Andreas was the skipper and he did not offer us anything to drink, we had to ask for towels and brought us to a restaurant that scammed us which I’m sure he gets a commission from. Andreas took us to nice locations but rushed us at each time. He skipped the last location and told us that there was no time left. We were packed up and dropped off at the port 30 min early which could’ve been spent at the last location. To top it off, the fuel charge was just some random $$ w no proof. It felt very expensive. We spent a whole day on another boat for a longer distance and it was only a fraction of the fuel cost. Use your money somewhere else where you can trust and enjoy your time at the stunning location. DO NOT BOOK! BAD SERVICE AND A SCAMMER. TAKES ADVANTAGE OF FOREIGNERS.

Terrible - taken to a jellyfish location, with child, were not warned of it. Told that we would have an English speaking guide, but guide was not able to communicate with us very well. We were told that the estimate in fuel for the day was $180 EUR from 9:30 AM - 5 PM. Well, we were stung by jellyfish, all three of us, including a child, and asked for the boat to come help us, as we were stuck in the water surrounded, and he would not bring the boat closer. Guide also went swimming while we were waiting for help -- seemed to not understand we were calling "Help" -- ended our tour after 3 hours and were charged $100 in addition for fuel after paying over $600 for the tour. Absolutely highway robbery, would NOT recommend.

VERY UNSAFE SCAM - I brought my 9yr old on this journey thinking it would be a great day. $650 usd is expensive but sounded worth it with what the tour promises… In addition to looking at his phone while driving, telling us we were seeing the pink beach ( it was white sand) and giving a hustle for way more than the company had quoted us for fuel, The skipper Andrea had no idea where he was going and brought us to jellyfish infested waters, we innocently jumped in and swam to a beach and got stung severely as we went up to shore. She was screaming crying we asked for help, screamed for help but he would not come and help her swim back because he was too afraid of getting stung himself. I had to swim with her on my shoulders back to the boat and getting stung severely, the whole time screaming for help. He then did not have the first aid kit stocked to help with the stings. We asked to end the tour immediately got back to the port at 12pm instead of 5pm and he still wanted the whole days worth of fuel. Do not waste your money on this dangerous experience!
