The hull parts the Mediterranean and the islands come forward like cut islands of stone and light. From the passenger-side bench the coastline of La Maddalena slips by—pink-hued sand, low granite ridges, and water that changes from glassy turquoise to deep cobalt in a single sweep.
Verified experiences and guided adventures in the surrounding area.

The hull parts the Mediterranean and the islands come forward like cut islands of stone and light. From the passenger-side bench the coastline of La Maddalena slips by—pink-hued sand, low granite ridges, and water that changes from glassy turquoise to deep cobalt in a single sweep.
This full-day motorboat cruise circles the core of the Maddalena Archipelago, a maritime park shaped by granite uplift and millennia of wave action. Guests move between Spargi’s sheltered coves, the protected swathes around Budelli and its famed Manto della Madonna, and the small beaches of Santa Maria, while remaining mindful of conservation zones—some areas are viewed from sea only. The islands carry traces of Genoese and Sardinian fishing culture; local charters often serve regional fare, and a lunchtime aperitif of cold cuts, cheeses and wine connects the route to island foodways.
Onboard the DC12, expect broad sun pads, a shaded stern deck, a flybridge with 360° views, hot/cold shower and cabins for storage or changing. Stops include snorkeling in shallow bays, optional SUP landings, and calm swimming where permitted. The captain sequences visits according to wind, swell and protected-area rules; Pink Beach is admired from offshore.
Practical guidance: book early in summer, bring reef shoes for rocky shore entries, reef-safe sunscreen, a wind layer for afternoon sea breezes, and enough water for a long day. Carry cash or card for crew and fuel charges paid onboard, and consider seasickness prevention if you are sensitive. With simple preparation this private cruise offers a full, accessible day on one of the Mediterranean’s clearest stages.
The private excursion lasts approximately 7–8 hours (420–480 minutes), including several swimming and beach stops and transit time between islands.
