- Maddalena Islands - La Maddalena & Caprera — offers both FULL DAY and HALF DAY itineraries, ideal for those eager to explore the heart of the archipelago while staying close to the coast.
La Maddalena is the sole inhabited island in the archipelago, featuring a charming old town by the sea, a bustling harbor, and rugged coastlines with hidden pink granite coves and vibrant waters. Exploring it aboard a RIB allows access to secluded spots unreachable by larger vessels, with the freedom to pause at will.
Caprera is the epitome of a wild island: entirely protected by the National Park, it remains largely untouched by mass tourism. Its eastern coast boasts wind-carved granites, pine forests reaching the sea, and intensely green-blue waters, among the most stunning in the archipelago. It is also Garibaldi’s land, adding a historical dimension to its extraordinary landscape.
- Isola di Spargi - Spargi Island - featured in the FULL DAY itinerary alongside the Port of the Madonna area or as a single stop on the HALF DAY or SUNSET EXPERIENCE itinerary - is one of the most untamed and captivating islands of the La Maddalena Archipelago: completely uninhabited, protected by the National Park, with a rugged pink granite coastline and some of the clearest waters in the Mediterranean. Its allure lies in the complete absence of facilities, offering a pure nature experience — accessible only by sea.
- Porto della Madonna - Itinerary available in FULL DAY or HALF DAY option
Porto della Madonna — a serene and protected bay, with shallow, crystal-clear waters framed by pink granite. Perfect for a rejuvenating break and a tranquil swim.
The Natural Pools — one of the archipelago’s most remarkable spots: natural rock formations create pools of very shallow and transparent water, resembling pools carved into granite. A unique visual and sensory experience.
Cala Santa Maria — a fine sandy beach on Isola Santa Maria, with Caribbean-like waters and a timeless atmosphere. One of the archipelago’s lesser-known treasures.
Pink Beach — the renowned beach of Budelli Island, its ancient hue created by coral fragments and shells. National Park regulations prohibit access, but it can be admired from aboard during navigation: a rare sight few have the privilege to witness up close.
- Iles Lavezzi - Available ONLY in FULL DAY option - Dedicated itinerary -
Piana Island — small and flat as its name suggests, located just minutes from Palau. Its waters are a masterpiece of colors: shallow sandy seabeds create shades from turquoise to deep blue. Often the first stop on the hike, it offers a perfect taste of the archipelago’s wonders.
Lavezzi — technically in French territory, this integral nature reserve off Corsica is one of the Mediterranean’s most fascinating and wildest destinations. An archipelago of granite rocks smoothed by the ocean, surrounded by waters of absolute clarity. Sailing to Lavezzi is an experience in itself — and reaching it aboard a fast RIB like the YLUX, with the wind in your face and Corsica approaching, feels like a true adventure. Stops for swimming and snorkeling among the rocks reveal glimpses of pristine nature that are unforgettable.
- Bonifacio - Available ONLY in FULL DAY option - Dedicated itinerary -
Bonifacio — perched on towering white limestone cliffs that plunge into the sea, this Corsican town offers one of the Mediterranean’s most dramatic and scenic views. Seen from the sea, from below, it is simply breathtaking: houses appear to hang on the cliff’s edge, while sea caves at the cliffs’ base are explored by sailing slowly beneath the rock.
Joining aboard YLUX adds an extra thrill: entering the old port through the narrow natural fjord, with rock walls rising on both sides, is an unforgettable experience. Once in the port, enjoy an aperitif or lunch in the medieval old town, before heading back to the sea towards the Lavezzi islands or returning to the Maddalena archipelago. Bonifacio is not just a stop — it is the highlight of an unforgettable journey.
- Costa Smeralda - Available ONLY in FULL DAY option - Dedicated itinerary -
Costa Smeralda — sailing along this coast means gliding past one of the world’s most famous and desired coastlines, where fragrant Mediterranean scrub nearly reaches the sea and exclusive villas are nestled among the pines. Viewed from the water, away from the inland’s hustle, the Costa Smeralda reveals its true essence: coves of white sand, emerald-green waters that named the entire coast, granite cliffs reflected in a sea of rare beauty.
On board YLUX, sail to the most beautiful coves — Cala di Volpe, Cala Petra Ruja, Liscia Ruja — enjoying them from the privileged perspective of the open sea, away from crowded beaches. It is the most elegant and liberating way to experience this stretch of coast: no roads, no parking, just the sound of the engine slowing for a stop, a dip in clear waters, and the discreet luxury of having it all to yourself.
