Wonderful experience! - Great day, fantastic crew and beautiful stops! We enjoyed our trip with our group ranging in age from 5 to 77. The boat wasn't crowded at all (unlike others that we saw) and the crew was attentive and fun.

Amazing boat trip - Had an amazing time, and the views and beaches were stunning. There was lots of space on the boat and it was not overcrowded at all compared to the other similar boats that we saw during our ride. The personnel were very kind and would recommend this boat trip for anyone!

Discover the Beauty of La Maddalena and Dive Into Breathtaking Turquoise Waters - This was the highlight of our trip to La Maddalena. We boarded the ship at the La Maddalena port. It's a medium size tour ship with a nice wooden design. There was plenty of room for everyone on board. They don't overcrowd the ship like some others that we saw along the way. The trips between destinations were accompanied by commentary from the tour guide in both Italian and English. Passing by and seeing all the island from unique vantage points was great. The crew on the ship was very kind and made sure we were all having a good time. The beaches were a real highlight. There were three major stops along the way. At each one we had plenty of time to go for a swim and relax on the beach. We could either jump into the water directly from the boat, or board a smaller boat that would take us to the beach and we could bring along our towels and other equipment. The water was incredible, glistening in various shades ranging from navy blue to turquoise. The 7 hours passed by very quickly. The timing was just right, we always had enough time to enjoy each location, but it never felt like we overstayed at any specific spot. Lunch and drinks are not included, so we recommend bringing a cooling bag with some drinks and snacks. Can't recommend this tour enough!

A nice day out. - Neat vintage boat, max 40 people, so not the massive of many other providers. Neat staff, in 2 languages , (It/En) Nice stops on 3 islands explaining the place, also the rose stand-that no one should enter.
You'll be brought ashore with a dinghy.
The boat leaves at 1000 in La Madeleine and 1030 from Palau, tourist tax to pay on the boat. Parking in the harbor 1€/hour. Remote parking 200 m from Pier 5. Departure from Pier 5 , long section at end.

Vintage boat tour - The beaches you see during the tour are for sure one of the best around La Maddalena, definitely worth it! Due to the smaller size compared to other boats and the vintage style you get a wonderful experience during the trip. Special to mention: the crew, Vlad and Serena, who chatted a with me about deep topics (thanks Vlad for the recommendations) and even gave advice for other good spots to see in and around the place.

Between dream and reality: desire to return. - A dream day. An experience to be repeated because a single day is not enough to retain everything we have seen: a unique sea, an enchanting landscape. All in a perfect setting. On board this motorboat I felt perfectly at ease thanks to the crew members, all competent and empathetically close to their guests. The commander illustrated and described the different places of the archipelago to us in great detail. Personally, my thanks go to a member of the crew who helped me overcome a personal moment of anxiety. A wonderful boy who I will always carry in my heart together with the indescribable images of this beautiful land.

The most amazing day! - We had the best day, I have never experienced water so blue & clear. It was better than being in the Maldives.
I was slightly apprehensive to book as there weren’t any reviews for this specific tour but 100% would recommend. The boat was clean, the staff were professional & friendly, they spoke in both Italian & English about the tour. Although food & drink is not included you can buy drinks and sandwiches on the boat. Parking in Palau is very busy so I would give yourself 30 minutes to find a space.

Rude and Disrespectful Crew with Unhelpful Customer Service - • Unable to reach the boat staff directly but a third party agency
• Customer service is not being helpful
• We bought 2 tickets, my friend didn’t go finally, but amazingly they didn’t let me board alone and left in front me, which was really disrespectful
• In the above case, they refused to refund the fare of my own ticket
