About this experience
We are a couple of island natives, and our desire is to share the beauty of our places with you through an authentic and respectful perspective.
We take you to discover the beauty of the Archipelago through an immersive experience full of emotions. The boat has large sunbathing areas at the bow, comfortable seating at the stern, a spacious stern deck with a ladder for access to the sea and a hot and cold hand shower, a relaxation area with a table and pouf on the FLY Bridge, from which you can enjoy an excellent 360° view.
Inside there are comfortable cabins and a bathroom for changing or storing personal items.
During stops, you can go down to the beach with the SUP or swim and snorkel as you prefer, and during the day we will serve a tasty aperitif with high-quality local products.

We will show you the beautiful island of Spargi, the largest of the smaller islands. Together we will choose a cove where we can stop for a swim or go to the beach.

We will admire the beautiful Pink Beach from the sea (the area is inaccessible, a maximum protection zone).

Stop 3
We pass the natural pools of Budelli, the Manto della Madonna, a richly nuanced patch of sea in the middle between the three islands of Budelli, Razzoli and Santa Maria. Here we look for a sheltered spot for another swimming stop and lunch. It will be possible to swim in the shallow, crystal-clear waters, relax in the sun on comfortable sundecks or on the FLY bridge, and taste local products while admiring one of the most beautiful sceneries in the world.
4
If we have time, we will make a third stop at the island of Santa Maria, where we can swim to the beach or swim in the beautiful turquoise waters.
5
Always allow approximately 1 ½ to 2 hours of sailing time. The times are approximate; we reserve the right to modify and adjust the duration and order of stops according to weather conditions (sea and wind) and customer preferences.
