The day begins at 9:00 AM from the harbor of Santa Teresa Gallura, where the boat leaves its moorings and heads for the Strait of Bonifacio. During the crossing, you can already admire the intense colors of the sea and the wind-sculpted shapes that characterize this stretch of sea, which is unique in the world. In a short time, you reach the first stop of the excursion: the Island of Santa Maria, one of the most beloved gems of the Maddalena Archipelago.
There is a stop here of about two hours, which can be enjoyed in two ways: relaxing on the beach with its light sand and transparent waters, or choosing to stay on the boat for a moment of snorkeling in the nearby coves, which are perfect for observing the seabed and the play of light typical of this area. Santa Maria is a quiet and unspoiled place, ideal for starting the day surrounded by nature.
After the stop, we set off again for the island of Budelli, world famous for its Pink Beach and the incredibly clear waters of its natural pools. If the weather and sea conditions permit, the boat will stop right in the Piscine Naturali, where you can jump in for a swim directly from the boat. This stretch of sea, characterized by shades ranging from turquoise to emerald green, is one of the most evocative spots in the entire archipelago.
Once back on board, the crew serves lunch, freshly prepared: pennette of the day, usually with seafood, accompanied by water, wine, coffee, mirto, and a typical dessert. A convivial moment that allows you to recharge your batteries and enjoy the sailing in total relaxation.
Before leaving Budelli, the boat offers a panoramic view of the Pink Beach, which is only visible from the sea for environmental protection reasons. The captain explains the history and features of this iconic place, famous for the unique pink color of the sand, which is due to the presence of coral fragments and shells.
The journey then continues to the Isle of Spargi, the second most important after La Maddalena. The last stop of the day is scheduled here, also for about two hours, to be enjoyed on the beach or with a swim directly from the boat. Spargi is known for its sheltered coves, calm waters and seabed rich in marine life: a perfect place to relax before returning.
After the stop, everyone boards for the return crossing to Santa Teresa. The return trip is scenic, ideal for taking souvenir photographs, thanks also to the captain's explanations, who points out the most characteristic points of the coast and shares interesting facts about the area. Arrival at the harbor is scheduled for 5:00 PM, concluding a busy day full of colors, nature, and unforgettable moments.
