About this tour
A private seven-hour boat tour of La Maddalena's western archipelago for up to six people. You'll access quieter coves unreachable by larger vessels, swim and snorkel from your own boat, paddleboard if you want, and eat a lunch of local Sardinian food and wine prepared by the captain. The intimacy comes from the small group size and a captain who stays available throughout the day.

What to expect
You'll meet your captain and board a compact vessel designed for small groups. After a safety briefing, you'll motor out to sheltered bays and rocky inlets along the western coast, stopping at spots chosen to avoid crowds. Bring your swimmers: you'll have time to snorkel, paddleboard, or simply swim from the boat in clear water. The captain will prepare and serve lunch — local cured meat, cheese, wine, and coffee — either on board or at anchor, depending on conditions.
The day wraps with a final swim or snorkel stop before the return journey. The captain remains your point of contact for any questions or needs throughout, and can adjust stops based on weather and your preferences.

Good to know
This suits anyone after a quieter, personalised alternative to group tours — couples, small families, friends wanting to control the pace and company. Not suitable if you have spinal injuries or cardiovascular concerns (relevant to boat motion and swimming safety); otherwise it works for any fitness level. Weather and sea state can affect which coves are accessible, so flexibility is wise. The seven-hour duration includes transport and stops, so plan accordingly. Restroom facilities are on board. Service animals are welcome. The boat operates in open water, so expect some motion; not ideal if you're prone to seasickness. Lunch, water, wine, beer, and snorkelling gear are included; bring sun protection and a towel.
