La Maddalena Cruise from Budoni

Like rubies scattered across dazzling seas, the islands of La Maddalena are one of Sardinia's best-loved treasures. This cruise focuses on the archipelago's southern isles, with stops in la Maddalena and Spargi islands, and a few hours cruising by the pink granite coastlines of Santo Stefano and Caprera.Casting off from Cannigione, we'll glide towards the two easternmost islands, Caprera and Santo Stefano. With rugged shorelines washed by fluorescent turquoise waters, they're to die for. From here, it's onto La Maddelana town on the main island. Explore the alleys radiating from the harbour and maybe see the 200-year-old unexploded bomb on display at the town hall or the silver ornaments Horatio Nelson left at Santa Maria church.In the afternoon, we'll float over to Spargi. Drop anchor off this uninhabited island and savour lunch on board. Enjoy swimming from the beach or roam around one of the gorse-covered island's nature trails.
