Spend a private day aboard a Lagoon 40 exploring La Maddalena's iconic coves—snorkel crystal bays, sip Sardinian wine on deck, and visit the archipelago's best beaches with an experienced skipper.
More ways to explore the area's outdoor wonders
The day opens with light on the water and the feel of a new Lagoon 40 underfoot as the catamaran slips out of Poltu Quatu toward a scatter of granite islands. Sea air pulls at your jacket, the skipper trims sail, and the first coves of La Maddalena appear: glassy bays framed by pale rock and scrub that smell of thyme.

Prepare for sun and wind
Bring a brimmed hat and a light wind layer for open-deck sections; glare and sea breeze can be intense even on mild days.
