Your day begins at the port—Porto Cervo, Poltu Quatu, Cannigione, or another nearby marina—where you will meet your friendly skipper and board your private yacht. Private transfer from your hotel or villa can be arranged upon request.

As you sail along this world-famous coastline, admire the emerald waters and rugged granite cliffs unique to northern Sardinia.

La Marinella Beach

Your first highlight is the beautiful La Marinella, known for its powdery white sand and crystal-clear water. Enjoy a swim or simply relax on deck as you glide past the shimmering shoreline.

Island of Soffi – Maddalena National Park

Continue cruising to the scenic island of Soffi, part of the protected La Maddalena National Park. This untouched island, shaped by wind-carved granite and rich birdlife, offers peaceful coves perfect for swimming and snorkeling.

La Maddalena Town (Optional Lunch Stop)

Dock at the charming port of La Maddalena, enjoy some free time to discover this quaint town  and have a relaxing seaside lunch to try the great food of the region. Lunch is not included but we will be happy to give you suggestions and reserve a table for you.

As a mom traveling with two teens and my husband, I can’t recommend this boat tour enough! Our skipper was welcoming, professional, and made us feel completely safe. The boat was spotless and luxurious, and it was such a treat to escape the crowds. They allowed us to tailor the day just like we wanted and it was really great! Highly recommended

The best day of our vacation! The scenery is amazing, and having a private yacht allowed us to escape the crowds of the beach and enjoy some wonderful time at sea. They booked for us lunch in La Maddalena and it was really great. Thank you Kissfromitaly!
