Our family of eight, including children, went on a sailing trip from Palau through the La Maddalena archipelago and had a truly wonderful day!
Our skipper, Matthew, and his right-hand woman, Chiara, were incredibly friendly and attentive, ensuring that everyone, young and old, felt comfortable from the very beginning. 😊
The tour had everything you could wish for in a perfect day at sea: stunning bays, crystal-clear water, swimming, snorkeling/diving, observing lots of fish, and simply enjoying the beautiful scenery. 🐠🌊
Our comfort was also well taken care of – delicious food and plenty of drinks on board. 🍝🥂
The tour was a real treat, especially with the children. Everything was relaxed, friendly, and perfectly organized. Matthew and Chiara made this day a truly special vacation memory for us.
Thank you both so much for this amazing day! We would do the tour again in a heartbeat and can recommend it 100%! 🇮🇹⛵️❤️

A fantastic duo of guide and captain, passionate about their work. We loved chatting with Matthew and Chiara. The whole family had a wonderful time and we found it hard to leave them at the end of the day. Plus, there were only five of us on the boat. And finally, why have a big kitchen at home? On a sailboat, we ate delicious pasta!
