Boat Trips in La Maddalena: An Archipelago Guide 2026

Exploring the La Maddalena Archipelago by sea

The most authentic way to truly appreciate the beauty of this corner of Sardinia is undoubtedly from the sea. A boat trip to La Maddalena will allow you to reach otherwise inaccessible islands such as Spargi, Budelli, and Santa Maria. Here, the sea boasts shades ranging from cobalt blue to emerald green, creating incredible contrasts with the wind-sculpted rocks. Those who choose Il Maestrale for their holidays can rely on our network of local partners to arrange personalised excursions, whether on large motor vessels or small private dinghies, ensuring a tailor-made experience for every need.

Spiaggia Rosa and the Natural Pools of Budelli

One of the unmissable stops on any boat trip is Budelli Island. Famous for its Spiaggia Rosa, which is fully protected to preserve its delicate ecosystem, Budelli also offers the spectacle of the "Natural Pools" in Porto della Madonna. Mooring here by boat in May, when boat traffic is still limited, allows for a surreal sense of peace. The clarity of the water is such that you can count the grains of sand on the seabed. Upon your return to shore, the welcome of Il Maestrale will be the safe haven where you can relax and share photos of your day, thanks to the fast Wi-Fi connection available in your apartment.

Dinghie rental: the freedom to be captain for a day

For those who prefer complete autonomy, hiring a dinghy (even without a boat license) is the best option. You can decide where to stop and how long to stay in each cove, experiencing an unforgettable adventure among the islands of Razzoli and Santa Maria. This freedom of movement perfectly reflects the philosophy of Il Maestrale: to provide a comfortable base while giving our guests maximum independence to explore the Island of La Maddalena at their own pace. We always provide our guests with advice on weather conditions and winds, a crucial element for safe navigation in the archipelago.
