Highlights
  • Piazza del Molo, 1 - We will meet at 9:30am at Palau harbor (at the dinghy ramp, in front of Pier 1 bar and restaurant). After that, I will transfer you by dinghy (3-5 minutes ride) on our vessel (12 meters). Once on board, we will start sailing and we will drop the anchor in the most beautiful coves of the national park. During the trip, you can swim in stunning spots and I will introduce you to the art of sailing and show you the beauty of the Mediterranean Sea with its culture and local history. An aperitif (prosecco, salami and local cheese) will be served during the trip. Lunch is not included but you can use our fridge. We will be back at the Palau harbour around 5:30 pm. We will discover places really hard to reach without the help of a vessel, and we will do that by putting safety first.

Meeting point and time: 9.30 am in front of the bar “Pier 1 (ex Villanova cafe’)” at Piazza del molo n.1, Palau. We return around 5.30pm.

Additional Information

We will enjoy the beauty of the real blue color of the Mediterranean while kissed by the sun and pushed by the wind. We will anchor, depending on the wind direction, in 2-3 coves such as “Cala Corsara (Spargi)”, “Piscine di Budelli”, “Razzoli”, “Santa Maria”, where you can snorkel or go on-shore to enjoy the white sand beaches. An aperitif will be served on board (salami, local cheese and prosecco)

A fabulous turquoise day with captain Italo - The wonderful trip started with a smooth and punctual pick up in front of Pier 1 bar at Palau, where we started the day into turquoise. The whole trip from 930am until 530pm was just very fine with captain Italo. Sharing sailing knowledge, funny talks, a good laugh over a bottle Prosecco, or enjoyable Italian cold cut, you name what is needed to have a great boat trip. The beach stops we made were breath taking, that made any expensive trip to Sardinia worthwhile. Make sure you book in advance and make sure you check out his website IN DETAIL before booking.

Incredible Experience - Me and my girlfriend had an incredible experience sailing around La Maddalena with Italo! One of the highlights of our trip to Sardinia and a must for anyone visiting the region. Italo was very knowledgeable, welcoming, and fun. We had great Prosecco and local meats and cheeses on the boat and had a really fun time with some of the locals on the water.

Wonderful experience over Maddalena Islands - We had a very great day with Italo on his boat. He drove us in very beautiful spots on Razzoli, Buddeli and Santa Maria Islands. In Buddeli we see a beach with beautiful water as we have never seen before. There was not a lot of wind but he put the front sail to make the experience even better. We had the chance to be only the 2 of us to envoy the experience. We highly recommand! Thank you Italo

Amazing sailing trip - It was an amazing trip. Italo was great and he showed us some beautiful sports at de Maddalena. Definitely better then the big, crowded ferry-boats and cozier! If you want to see the most amazing beaches, Italo's sailing boat is THE BEST option.

We had everything that day: excitement, relaxation and also a little bit of interesting knowledge. - You can tell that Italo does this with passion. Especially when you know that he offers these tours on his vacation. So the sailing trip is not just about getting from A to B. He also likes to involve the passengers in the sailing. So if you are just looking for something to get from A to B and want a party boat, this is the wrong place for you. He is very friendly and also makes a few jokes now and then. We had good wind at times and therefore had a few waves. That was exciting. Especially if you are not used to it.
