Spiaggia Rosa
The first stop of the day takes us to the stunning island of Budelli, home to the world-famous Pink Beach (Spiaggia Rosa) — a protected natural wonder admired from the boat. We anchor at the incredible Natural Pools (Piscine Naturali) for a relaxing two-hour stop. Here, guests can swim in crystal-clear turquoise waters and enjoy the pristine beauty of Cavalieri Beach, which we’ll also visit by boat. During this stop, I will share the history and legends of these magical waters, offering insights into the natural and cultural significance of the area. Guests are treated to a generous Sardinian aperitif, served on a large traditional cork tray. The tasting includes a selection of local cured meats, cheeses, and other regional delicacies, accompanied by Pane Guttiau – crispy Sardinian flatbread drizzled with olive oil and sea salt, and chilled prosecco. Snorkeling masks and swim accessories are available on board for those who want to dive in and explore.
Isola di Santa Maria
Stop 2 – Santa Maria Island: Mussels with Myrtle & History of the Strait (Approx. 1.5 hours) Our second stop takes place at Santa Maria Island, anchoring either at Passo degli Asinelli or Passo del Topo, depending on sea traffic and available space. Both locations offer a peaceful and picturesque setting, perfect for enjoying a refined Sardinian tasting experience. Here, we serve a delicious sautéed mussel dish cooked with myrtle, accompanied by crispy olive oil crostini and paired with a chilled glass of Vermentino di Sardegna DOC/DOCG wine – a true expression of local flavors. While guests relax and enjoy their lunch, I will share stories and historical insights about the Razzoli Lighthouse, the Passo degli Asinelli, and the Passo del Topo – narrow channels rich in maritime tradition and natural beauty. This stop combines gastronomy, history, and relaxation in one of the most tranquil corners of the archipelago.
Isola di Spargi
Stop 3 – Spargi Island: Hidden Coves, Rock Formations & Sweet Sardinian Finale (Approx. 1 hours) The final stop of the tour takes us to the wild and scenic island of Spargi, where we anchor in one of the island’s more secluded coves — chosen based on sea and crowd conditions to ensure maximum comfort and relaxation. While anchored, we will visit by boat all of Spargi’s most iconic beaches, including: Cala Granara, famous for the wild boars that sometimes visit its shores Cala Connari, with its white sand and emerald waters Cala Soraja, one of the most peaceful spots of the archipelago Cala Corsara, home to incredible rock formations shaped like a witch’s head, a bulldog, and even the boot of Italy! The colors of the sea here are breathtaking perfect for swimming, photography, and simply enjoying the natural beauty.
