Highlights
  • Villanova Café - We will meet at 9:30am at Palau harbor (at the dinghy ramp). After that, I will transfer you by dinghy (3-5 minutes ride) on our vessel (12 meters). Once on board, we will start sailing and we will drop the anchor in the most beautiful coves of the national park. During the trip, you will snorkel in stunning spots and I will introduce you to the art of sailing through the beauty of the Mediterranean Sea with its culture and local history. We will be back at the Palau harbour around 5:30 pm. We will discover places really hard to reach without the help of a vessel, and we will do that by putting safety first. I’m an experienced skipper with almost 20 years of sailing across the Mediterranean Sea, Atlantic Ocean, Pacific Ocean, and Sea of Cortez.

Meeting point and time: 9.30 am in front of “Ammare restaurant (ex Villanova cafe’)” at Piazza del molo n.1, Palau. We return around 5.30pm.

Seize the opportunity to explore the ‘La Maddalena Archipelago’ aboard a sturdy, comfortable 12-meter sailing boat, accommodating no more than 11 guests (plus crew). This experience is a stark contrast to the crowded large motor vessels that are the standard tourist option. Make the most of the chance to journey with a knowledgeable skipper through some of the most stunning locations on Earth. Revel in the vivid blue hues of the Mediterranean Sea, feel the sun’s warmth and the push of the wind on our sails. Depending on the wind direction, we will drop anchor in 2-3 of coves like ‘Cala Corsara (Spargi)’, ‘Piscine di Budelli’, ‘Razzoli’, ‘Santa Maria’. Here, you may choose to snorkel or step ashore to bask in the pristine white sandy beaches.

Wonderful experience over Maddalena Islands - We had a very great day with Italo on his boat. He drove us in very beautiful spots on Razzoli, Buddeli and Santa Maria Islands. In Buddeli we see a beach with beautiful water as we have never seen before. There was not a lot of wind but he put the front sail to make the experience even better. We had the chance to be only the 2 of us to envoy the experience. We highly recommand! Thank you Italo

Amazing sailing trip - It was an amazing trip. Italo was great and he showed us some beautiful sports at de Maddalena. Definitely better then the big, crowded ferry-boats and cozier! If you want to see the most amazing beaches, Italo's sailing boat is THE BEST option.

Thanks for the amazing experience - We loved the experience so much that we rented it for two days. Italo is a very expert sailor, with decades of experience. For example he traveled solo from all over California US, from Monterey, to Loreto in Baja California, Mexico. He definitely has lots of experience so you feel you are in good hands. He is also a very fine and courteous person who really cares about giving us a pleasant experience. Everything about Italo is "nice". The trip in the Maddalena archipelago was very scenic, with blue water and amazing landscapes and multiple stops for swimming. The experience company was great, with some other groups that were kind and joyful. I will certainly book a trip with Italo again.
