You step onto the catamaran at Porto Pozzo with salt on your lips and wind already nudging the sails; the boat rocks gently, the hull slicing a ribbon of blue toward islands that seem to glow from within.

Operated by Isole della Maddalena: Affascinante Tour in Catamarano con aperitivo sardo e pranzo a bordo · Porto Pozzo, Sardinia
You step onto the catamaran at Porto Pozzo with salt on your lips and wind already nudging the sails; the boat rocks gently, the hull slicing a ribbon of blue toward islands that seem to glow from within.
The La Maddalena archipelago sits on a granite shelf shaped by millennia of wind and wave—rounded granite outcrops, shallow channels and hidden coves carved into the rock. The itinerary threads past Spargi and Budelli, islands famous for their glass-clear shallows and, historically, for seasonal fishermen and small military outposts that used these channels as lookout points. Today the area is part of a protected marine landscape where local culture is still defined by simple food, strong bread, and the ritual of the aperitif.
On this three-and-a-half-hour cruise you’ll stop for swims and snorkel sessions in turquoise coves, explore seabeds that often host seagrass meadows and colorful fish, and enjoy a Sardinian aperitif on deck—cheeses, local breads and cool drinks—while the sea dares you to linger.
Practical notes: expect calm, family-friendly pacing with a maximum of eight guests; bring reef-safe sunscreen and a towel, and be prepared for sun exposure and wind. Snorkel masks and basic scuba equipment are provided, but if you’re prone to seasickness take precautions. Timing matters—mornings and late afternoons offer cleaner light and quieter waters. The captain will adapt stops to wind and sea state; safety briefings are given before each swim. This cruise balances easy enjoyment with simple rules of low-impact visitation—respect the marine park, keep a hand off the sea floor, and let the islands keep their quiet.
