About this tour
Spend a full day sailing the La Maddalena Archipelago aboard a private boat departing from Palau. This seven-hour voyage takes you to remote islands and sheltered bays where you'll swim, snorkel in crystalline waters, and eat freshly prepared fish lunches on deck. The skipper navigates between white-sand beaches and turquoise coves, adjusting the route to weather and your preferences. Sardinian aperitifs, local wine, and onboard coffee punctuate the journey.

What to expect
You'll board in Palau and head out under sail into open water. The skipper picks anchorages based on conditions—some days favour the northern reefs, others the southern coves. Each stop offers 45 minutes to an hour in the water; bring a rash shirt if you burn easily. Around midday, the crew plates up grilled catch of the day with bread and salad while you drift. There's a lull in the afternoon heat below deck with coffee, then a final swim before returning. The boat rocks gently; if you're prone to seasickness, take precautions beforehand.
Good to know
Bring sunscreen, hat, and a light layer. No beach towels are supplied, so pack your own or hire locally. Dietary restrictions (vegetarian, gluten-free) must be flagged when booking; the kitchen can't manage complex intolerances, so packet lunches are an option. Public buses serve Palau town. Infants sit on laps; prams stay ashore.
