A municipal disembarkation tax of €5 per person (ages 6–99) is payable in cash at embarkation.Is it for me?Book from Palau if you're staying on the Sardinian mainland; book from La Maddalena if you're based on the island itself. The 1956 motorship is slower and more stable than a speedboat, which means a calmer ride and time to actually sit and look, but it also means the day is full—6 to 7 hours total—so pick this one if you want a full immersion in the archipelago rather than a quick hit-and-run.
