About the experience

A full day immersed in the wonders of northeast Sardinia, where every cove is a painting and every swim has the scent of infinity. Between legendary beaches, transparent waters, and timeless islands, this tour is a journey to the heart of the Costa Smeralda and beyond.

You'll depart from Porto Rotondo, heading towards the most enchanting bays: from the spectacular Cala Coticcio to the scenic Cala Napoletana.
You'll sail along stretches of coast dotted with Mediterranean vegetation, hidden villas, and emerald sea.
But the journey continues: we continue along the coast until we reach Budelli, where we can see the beaches of that paradise. After a day of diving, relaxation, and fun, you can head back.

This day is designed for those who want to experience the sea in style and freedom. You can relax on the dinghy, swim among the transparent seabed with snorkeling gear, and listen to music.
The Magnus 6.20 accompanies you with comfort and agility, perfect for accessing hidden coves and unforgettable views.

Itinerary

Starting location:
Marina di Porto Rotondo
Shipwreck Beach
Spiaggia del Relitto is one of the most iconic coves in the Maddalena archipelago: turquoise water, pale sand, and the famous shipwreck visible just a few meters from the shore, immersed in a wild and unspoiled landscape.
Coticcio Bay
Cala Coticcio is one of the most spectacular beaches in the archipelago: crystal-clear sea with Caribbean colors, pale sand, and pristine nature, framed by granite rocks and transparent seabeds.
Neapolitan Cove
Cala Napoletana is a quiet and wild cove in the Maddalena archipelago, famous for its clear waters, transparent seabed, and natural landscape surrounded by granite rocks.
Knight's Beach
Spiaggia del Cavaliere is a splendid cove on the island of Budelli, famous for its crystal-clear sea, white sand, and pristine atmosphere in the heart of the Maddalena archipelago.
Pink Beach
Spiaggia Rosa (Pink Beach) is one of the most iconic spots in the Maddalena archipelago, famous for its distinctive pink sand and crystal-clear waters. To preserve this unique and pristine ecosystem, access to the beach is prohibited and can only be admired from afar due to the damage caused by past sand extraction.

    Gianni is a wonderful person, professional, and truly competent in his work. He's available for any request, trying to make the experience as good as possible. He also provides a map with all the rocks or shallows to avoid damaging the dinghy. You can't go wrong if you follow his instructions. Overall, a 10/10 experience, nothing more to add. Congratulations! ?

    Gianni and his team were great to work with! I had to change my reservation date last minute and they were very accommodating and understanding. My partner and I have never driven a boat before. Gianni’s lessons were super helpful and we were able to drive the boat no problem. Thank you Gianni and team !

    We did a one day tour driving ourselves and it was magnificent! The staff were very professional and supportive! We were also shared a special sea map of the best scenic spots and places where you should avoid the rocks, etc. We also did the refueling by ourselves at the sea dock petrol station but be aware that you could end up in a long queue with big boats/yachts. If you are not sure if you will able to fill up yourselves surrounded by big boats and a bit of waves - leave this to the staff. We had a superb holiday! Recommend this for everyone as the best scenic spots are from the sea!

    When it comes to service and assistance, everything is top-notch. The only downside is that the description said the boat was from 2025, and the one we received definitely wasn't, and its age was showing. Regardless, I'd happily go back.

    Everything worked perfectly, from booking to handing over the boat that evening! I would do it again anytime! The staff were all very friendly and polite. A little tip or comment from me for the crew: People renting a boat without a license for the first time should perhaps do a short practical test together once to get a better feel for dropping anchor, driving forward and backward, docking for fuel, etc.

    Gianni's boat is honestly spectacular. It has everything you need to enjoy a day sailing in the incredible waters of Costa Esmeralda. Everything was working perfectly. They also have a cooler so you can bring your drinks and food. I also want to highlight the constant communication and the great vibe. We'll be back soon!!!

    Gianni francesco was absolutely brilliant. We made a last minute booking and we were up and running within the hour, including travel time! Gianni francesco responded to my initial enquiry within minutes and helped me book the boat we desired for our day trip. We arranged a meeting time and he was very punctual, his instructions were very clear and his team were extremely polite and welcoming. We had a great day out, the weather was good, the boat was clean and ran smoothly. Instructions on navigating the boat were very clear and we had no problems at all. I would recommend Gianni francesco to anyone and everyone. Thanks again for making our day run so smoothly.
