Best island boat experience! - Definitely a MUST, waters are lovely. We will return. Friendly and prompt responses to queries for booking. Good sail catamaran with snorkel and goggles, nice internal cabin and toilet, ample outdoor seating space and front for tanning. Friendly knowledgeable and skilled captain Sirio who singlehandedly sailed, cooked fresh pasta, prepared cheese and salami and served beer and wine. We saw the pink beach from afar, swam at Spagi and Cappa; and sailed around. Full 7 hours.

Setting sail with friendly professional sailors - We were greeted with a warm friendly smile by our Captain Dennis and his able First Mate Ricardo. The catamaran was immaculate with ample seating in the wheelhouse area and thus in the shade or forward to enjoy the stimulating sea breezes.
Numerous stops were made whereby the anchorages were ideal for swimming and snorkelling. A fabulous pasta lunch was freshly prepared on board with copious amounts of local white wine and I believe soft drinks.
Although Dennis and his crew undertake this excursion many times per week their enthusiasm, friendliness and most importantly their nautical professionalism made our voyage very memorable. I have no hesitation in recommending this excursion to all.

lovely boat ride - this was a beautiful, wonderful day. the snacks and lunch were delicious. the beaches and views spectacular. the snorkeling was not great despite the clear water. the boat had masks but no fins or snorkels, making it difficult to keep face under water… they did have one or two weird combinations of face mask with a snorkel coming out of top of mask .

Recommend highly - Incredible day on a beautiful boat with a great group of people. Sirio is clearly a very talented sailor and sailed much of the journey, avoiding the need for a noisy engine. He cares about his boat which is highly maintained. We went to great swimming areas and had a delicious lunch - would recommend to all!

What a perfect day! - A wonderful day and a unique experience. The breathtaking landscape of the Maddalena archipelago was accompanied by Sirio and its expertise and professionalism. The group was well-matched, the route flexible, the food excellent and the excursion the perfect mix of sea, nature and history. Between one dive and another, thanks to Sirio I discovered the history and nature of the places. It was for me a beautiful and unforgettable first time on a sailing boat, to be repeated absolutely!

Guided tour of the Maddalena archipelago - This day trip excursion around some of the archipelago was meant to be a guided tour. At time of booking I specified English to be our preferred language.
The trip itself was let down by the ‘guide’ on board. She was reading from prompt cards in the various languages that had been requested by the guests on board. However, her commentary was largely incoherent, especially as it was delivered over a tannoy system. It wasn’t helped by the fact that she seemed very unenthusiastic and at times surly. When she wasn’t reading from the cards she was on her mobile phone! I honestly didn’t pick up any new information on the Maddalena archipelago from her.
There was no safety briefing at the start which I think was negligent given the large number of young families on board.
The stops at the beaches were lovely and there is a lot on offer at the archipelago. However, I would go there with another operator.
