La Maddalena Archipelago: Private Boat to Emerald Lagoons

Glide through the crystalline turquoise waters of Maddalena National Park aboard a private vessel, anchoring at secret coves inaccessible by land. This is Sardinia at its most untouched — a UNESCO-protected paradise of pink granite, white sand, and color-shifting sea.

What to expect

Your private captain navigates the 60-island archipelago, stopping at legendary spots like Cala Corsara and Spiaggia Rosa. Snorkelling gear is provided to explore reefs teeming with sea life. You'll picnic on deck with local charcuterie and chilled wine as granite headlands glow amber in the sun. The return journey skirts the coastline of Caprera, where Garibaldi's villa still stands.

Good to know

Departs from Palau harbour, approx. 30 min drive from Olbia port. Book well in advance — private charters in peak season (June–Sept) sell out months ahead. Confirm all-aboard time and build in a 90-min buffer for the return transfer.
