The hull cuts a pale line through Mediterranean glass as you push away from Palau's quay, the wind already sketching decisions on the water.
On a private six-person RIB or small motorboat you move close to granite coasts and low shrub, the commander steering you into coves larger boats can’t reach. Expect secluded anchorages off Spargi with turquoise bowls—Cala Corsara and Cala Granara—then a slow glide past Budelli, Santa Maria and Razzoli where sandy shallows and pink-hued beaches sit like quiet exhibits.
This stretch of north-eastern Sardinia sits inside the Parco Nazionale dell’Arcipelago di La Maddalena, a protected seascape shaped by Hercynian granite and eolian sands. Caprera carries modern history: Giuseppe Garibaldi made it his home in the 19th century. Local culture still orbits fishing, boat building and simple coastal hospitality; lunches on board typically feature regional bread, cheese, cured meats and Vermentino.
Practically, the captain chooses coves according to wind—days from mistral to sirocco change the plan—and you should be ready to be flexible. The trip includes a small buffet lunch and local wine, toilets ashore depend on stop choices, and boarding is straightforward from a marina with close parking. Bring reef-friendly sunscreen, secure footwear for rocky landings, and a light wind layer; water can be deceptively cool even in summer. This full-day private cruise balances relaxed beach time with exploratory cruising, ideal for travelers who want exclusive access to lesser-traveled coves and a captain who knows when to anchor and when to move on.
The famed pink sand beach is inside the national park and access is often restricted; boats usually pass by for viewing but landing may be prohibited depending on rules in force.
Yes—tour notes indicate strollers and small children are accommodated, but bring appropriate life jackets and supervise on rocky landings.
Tours typically cancel in high winds or unsafe sea conditions; the operator’s policy allows full refunds with 24+ hours’ cancellation and will reschedule or refund if the captain deems conditions unsafe.
A small buffet lunch and local wine are included; bring extra water and personal snacks if you prefer more options.
