La Maddalena sailing tour from Cannigione: swim and lunch
Sail the archipelago's most beautiful bays instead of watching them from shore
A shared sailing tour of the La Maddalena archipelago departing from Cannigione marina, where you board a 14-meter sailboat for eight hours of swimming, sightseeing and meals on the water. The boat stops at the most beautiful bays along the northeast Sardinian coast; you swim in the open water and relax on sun cushions between stops. Lunch and drinks—welcome drink, coffee, tea, bottled water and soda—are prepared fresh on board and included in the price. A live guide speaks English, Spanish, Italian or French.

The Experience
You arrive at Cannigione marina and board the Solevento, a 14-meter sailboat built for small groups. The boat leaves the port and sails northeast along the coast toward the La Maddalena archipelago, stopping at the bays and beaches the operator has chosen for that day—the exact stops depend on wind and sea conditions, but each one is known for clear water and sandy bottom. At each stop, you can dive or swim as long as you want, or stay on board on the sun cushions if you prefer to watch.
Lunch arrives mid-day, freshly prepared on board and built around Sardinian flavors—the operator does not list the menu in advance, so you eat what the kitchen has made that morning. A welcome drink greets you when you step aboard, and coffee and tea are available throughout the day. Bottled water and soda are on hand to refill. The guide moves through the boat and points out the coastline, the islands and the spots where you are swimming; they speak your language if it is English, Spanish, Italian or French.
The eight-hour day means you leave Cannigione in the morning and return by late afternoon, which fits a full day without an overnight. The boat is shared—you will sail with other travelers—and the pace is built around swimming and eating rather than rushing between stops. There is no schedule to keep once you leave the marina; the day unfolds on the water.
