History
The archipelago has long been a strategic Mediterranean waypoint; in the 20th century parts were used for naval purposes before marine protection measures were introduced.
Conservation
The islands lie within a protected marine area—anchoring and fishing are regulated, and visitors are asked to avoid disturbing seagrass beds and to use reef‑safe products.
Reserve your spot on the Catamaran tour to the Maddalena Islands with aperitif today and enjoy a trusted, highly rated experience designed to help you make the most of your adventure.
Bring reef‑safe sunscreen
Protect your skin and the marine environment—regular sunscreens can harm seagrass and corals near the coves you’ll snorkel.
Pack a light dry bag
Keep phones, a spare layer and your wallet safe from spray during stops and while swimming.
Arrive 30 minutes early
Boarding is punctual; arriving early makes check‑in and safety briefing stress‑free.
Know your swimming limits
Swims are in open water—if you aren’t confident swimming in currents, tell the crew and use the provided flotation assistance.
Swimsuit and quick‑dry towel
You’ll be swimming from the boat; quick‑dry fabrics speed up comfort after stops.
