Onboard a 12‑meter Fontain Pajot catamaran the morning light slices across the Mediterranean and the sea dares you to dive in. Guests step off the small port near Cannigione and into an eight‑hour loop of coves, granite spires and water so clear it seems to hold its own sky.

Onboard a 12‑meter Fontain Pajot catamaran the morning light slices across the Mediterranean and the sea dares you to dive in. Guests step off the small port near Cannigione and into an eight‑hour loop of coves, granite spires and water so clear it seems to hold its own sky.
The route threads through La Maddalena Archipelago, a scattering of granitic islands shaped by Pleistocene uplift and millennia of wave polishing. The area has long been a strategic waypoint between Corsica and Sardinia; today much of it is protected as the Maddalena Geomarine National Park, where Budelli’s famed “pink” sand is cordoned for conservation and navigation charts reflect both beauty and regulation.
Expect stops for snorkeling over Posidonia meadows, swims to white‑sand beaches, and photo runs by sculpted cliffs at Razzoli and Santa Maria. Local culture arrives in the galley: a fish‑forward lunch with Vermentino, simple antipasti and crusty bread, served while the catamaran rocks gently in the Port of the Madonna.
Practical edge: the itinerary can shift with wind and swell—bring reef‑safe sunscreen, a light windbreaker and sea‑sickness remedies if you’re sensitive. Snorkel gear is provided, but personal masks fit better. Timing matters; mid‑morning departures catch calm bays and late‑afternoon returns often offer the best light for onboard wine and quiet conversations. This is a day for easy movement, marine encounters and leaving footprints only on memory, not the protected shores.
Basic swimming ability is recommended for snorkeling stops, but flotation aids are often available and crew supervise swim zones.
Yes—use of snorkeling equipment is listed as included, though many guests bring their own masks for comfort.
No—Budelli’s Pink Beach is protected and landing is prohibited; the tour passes by for photos and conservation education.
Operators may modify or cancel the itinerary for safety; cancellation policies typically allow refunds if the tour is called off due to weather.
