Great tour, beyond mass tourism. A maximum of 8 people are taken along, so the sailing boat offers a lot of space. The support was warm and familiar, communication was possible in English, German and Italian. The route can be customized to avoid the crowds of boats, especially in high season. The captain has 35 years of experience and uses this for the benefit of the guests. A dream landscape, crystal clear water, various bathing stops and beaches. Starters antipasti and pizza, the main course is cooked by the captain himself. Everything is local and included in the price, including the drinks! The wine was delicious ;-) Certainly a bit more expensive compared to other tours, but it's definitely worth it!!!

That was an unforgettable trip. The crew was great. The food was tasty. The wine was delicious. The spots we drove to were incredibly beautiful. Now we know why Sardinia is called the Caribbean of Europe. We swam with fish and even saw dolphins again in the middle of October in the best weather. Bombastic good. I would book this excursion again if I were to visit Sardinia a second time.

Sailing trip for a day in the islands around Maddalena with Marco, Massimo and Chiara. A day out of time, between admiring the landscapes, swimming, diving, laughing, sharing a local meal carefully prepared by Captain Marco. We have a superb day, all the more pleasant in the off season and in small groups! Grazie Mile

Super friendly! Make them comfortable! The principle is very user-friendly, enough space for everyone, magnificent landscapes! Aperitif, meal more than enough!! Top experience

Great day fun day out, lovely lunch. Crew so helpful and informative.
