Depart from Palau and experience the magic of sunset in La Maddalena Archipelago aboard an exclusive vessel with a small group of no more than 12 guests.

Meet the crew at 5:30/6pm (meeting time varies depending on the season) at the Touristic Port in Palau, where you will be warmly welcomed on a comfortable vessel accommodating up to 12 guests. Departing from the harbor, you’ll embark on a delightful scenic cruise through the islands of La Maddalena Archipelago, surrounded by crystal-clear waters and enchanting landscapes.

The first stop will be Cala Corsara, on the Island of Spargi, a bay with turquoise waters and spectacular seabeds. Here, you can choose to swim, snorkel, or simply relax on board, enjoying the tranquility of this pristine location.

The journey will continue to Cala Soraya, another enchanting cove on the Island of Spargi, ideal for a second dip in crystal-clear waters.

The highlight of the tour will be a stop at Porto della Madonna, a heavenly lagoon nestled between the islands of Budelli, Razzoli, and Santa Maria. As the sun sets on the horizon, painting the sky in golden hues, you’ll enjoy an onboard aperitivo featuring fresh, locally sourced products paired with excellent local wines. The magic of the sunset, combined with the stunning scenery, will make this an unforgettable moment.
