Set off from Palau, on the north-eastern coast of Sardinia, and explore the islands and turquoise waters of the La Maddalena Archipelago aboard a refurbished vintage motorship dating back to 1956.

As you sail, the crew will share information about the places you'll see and the stops along the route, including Caprera, Budelli and Spargi. Along the way, you'll have the chance to swim in crystal-clear waters and admire the famous Spiaggia Rosa from the boat.

The itinerary includes a 30-minute swim stop at Cala Serena before continuing to Budelli. At Spiaggia del Cavaliere, you'll have ample time to relax on board, use the boat's facilities, snorkel near the vessel or reach the beach by inflatable boat accompanied by the crew. After sailing to Spargi, you'll stop at Cala Connari, where you can stay on board, snorkel nearby or swim to the beach.

You'll also enjoy panoramic navigation between Santo Stefano and Capo d'Orso, passing Fort San Giorgio, the Villa Marina Tower, the former American NATO military base and the Caprera Sailing Centre. The experience ends with the return to Palau at approximately 5.30 pm.
