Yes, extensive complimentary parking is available right next to the pier.

• A valid ID, such as an identity card, passport, or driver’s license.

• A mobile phone.

• A security deposit via credit card or in cash.

• Minimum age: 18 years old.

Fuel costs are based on consumption and are therefore not included in the rental price. The boat is provided with a full tank and must be returned in the same condition. Upon your return to the pier, you must proceed to the fuel station (the nearest is located at the Port of Cannigione, a 3-minute sail away) to refill the fuel used. This ensures you only pay for the actual amount consumed rather than an estimate.

During peak season, there may be queues at the fuel station. We highly recommend factoring this into your schedule to avoid late returns at the pier, which may result in penalty fees.

Yes, a cash deposit by card or in cash is required on the day of the rental.

We recommend bringing plenty of water for the day, light snacks, a cooler bag, fins and mask, sunscreen, a beach towel, a hat, and flip-flops

Our boats are equipped with fuel tanks of sufficient capacity to visit the main beaches of the La Maddalena Archipelago or the Costa Smeralda. Fuel consumption depends on several factors, including the number of passengers, the amount of luggage on board, driving style, and sea conditions. To ensure fuel-efficient operation, it is necessary to bring the boat onto a plane quickly and maintain its proper trim.

A boating license is mandatory for vessels with engines exceeding 40 HP or for navigating more than 6 miles from the coast.

Yes. For 40 HP models, the rental staff will provide a pre-departure briefing lasting approximately 10-15 minutes and a recommended itinerary. They will explain how to start the engine, how to anchor correctly, and the basic safety regulations. It’s much easier than you might think!

Yes, provided that you exercise good judgment and strictly adhere to the La Maddalena Archipelago National Park regulations.

• Protected Beaches: Access and landing are strictly prohibited in certain areas, such as the Pink Beach (Spiaggia Rosa) on Budelli Island.
• Safety Distances: It is mandatory to maintain a safe distance from swimming buoys. Vessels must operate at a low speed (maximum 7 knots) within 300 meters of the coastline. Furthermore, landing is only permitted in designated areas.

If sea and weather conditions do not guarantee safety (e.g., strong wind), we will offer to reschedule your booking. If rescheduling is not possible, a full refund will be provided. Marine forecasts are monitored daily and are typically reliable within a 2-to-3-day window to ensure your safety and the best possible experience at sea.

Recommended Itineraries

Here are three recommended itineraries tailored to your vessel type and the experience you are looking for:

1. The Classic Route – Ideal for 40HP Engines

This is the perfect tour if you are renting a boat without a license. The route is well-sheltered and includes the archipelago’s most iconic landmarks.

Stop 1: Spargi Island (Cala Corsara). Cala Corsara is renowned for its turquoise waters and unique rock formations, such as “The Witch,” “The Bulldog,” “The Boot of Italy,” and the prehistoric cave.

Stop 2: The Natural Pools (Budelli). Head north toward Porto della Madonna, where the sea resembles a natural swimming pool. From here, you can view the famous Spiaggia Rosa (Pink Beach) from a distance (access and anchoring are strictly prohibited).

Stop 3: Santa Maria Island. Stop for a swim in the expansive bay or enjoy a light lunch on board under the shade of the sun awning.

Return: Caprera Island (Cala Coticcio). Known as “Tahiti,” this area is celebrated for its wild, granitic landscape.

2. Nature & Snorkeling

Caprera is the most rugged and pristine island, making it the ideal choice for snorkeling enthusiasts and lovers of dramatic granite scenery.

Stop 1: Cala Coticcio (Tahiti). Arguably the most beautiful beach in the archipelago. Please note: Landing on the beach requires a certified guide, but you may anchor outside the buoy line to enjoy the incredible waters.

Stop 2: Cala Portese or Cala Andreani. These spots offer pristine white sand and shallow, crystal-clear waters.

Stop 3: Cala Napoletana. Located at the northern tip of Caprera, it is often less crowded than Tahiti but equally stunning.

Stop 4: Moneta Bridge Crossing. If you are operating a smaller vessel (40HP), you can navigate under the bridge that connects La Maddalena to Caprera.

3. Costa Smeralda

If you prefer a change of scenery and wish to head south beyond the Archipelago, you can explore the most famous coastline in the world.

Stop 1: Cala di Volpe. Admire the world’s most exclusive hotels and the magnificent superyachts anchored in the bay.

Stop 2: Liscia Ruja. One of the longest and most beautiful beaches in the area, characterized by its golden sand.

Stop 3: Spiaggia del Principe. A crescent-shaped beach of fine sand surrounded by lush Mediterranean scrub.

Stop 4: Capriccioli Beach. The historic heart and birthplace of the Costa Smeralda.

Stop 5: Pevero Beach. Famous for its crystalline waters and powdery white sand.
