Overview

Welcome aboard Zefiro Experience!
Every day we set sail to take you on an unforgettable journey through the most crystal-clear waters of the Mediterranean: the La Maddalena Archipelago.
Choose the tour that best suits your needs:
Classic — The Sailing Catamaran
For those who want to experience the sea in its most authentic form. The Classic is a sailing catamaran built for pure navigation — agile and responsive through the waters of the archipelago. The ideal choice for sailing enthusiasts and anyone looking for a closer connection with the sea, without giving up any of the included services.
Comfort — More Space, More Ease
For those who want to enjoy the day with even more room to breathe. The Comfort is a larger catamaran, with more generous on-board spaces to move around, relax, and live the day in total freedom. Perfect for groups of friends, families, or anyone who wants a few extra metres to soak up the sun and the sea. The on-board services are exactly the same as the Classic — the only difference is the boat.

What's Included

  • Lunch Sardinian aperitif, pasta, dessert or fruit in the afternoon. Water by the glass all day, wine, coffee and digestive for the duration of lunch.

    Isola di Spargi

    Spargi is the third largest island of the archipelago of La Maddalena, has an almost circular shape, an area of just over 4 km² and 11 km of coastline with spectacular beaches that open in the south and east. The north-western part is characterized by rugged cliffs. The highest point called Guardia Preposti reaches the altitude of 153 meters. Spargi is of granite origin and is mountainous with a vast plateau in the center. It embodies the beauty of landscapes and the richness of biodiversity. Spargi is a paradise for some rare species of birds such as the Corsican cormorant and seagull, which nest in the high cliffs of the island of Spargiotto located opposite the west coast. All other species are protected, except for the royal seagull.

    Porto della Madonna

    This body of water of rare beauty has shallow waters and crystal clear water with multiple shades ranging from almost transparent blue to emerald green with some variants of dark blue. The dark blue is given by the oceanic posidonia, a plant that oxygenates the sea and offers shelter to thousands of marine microorganisms, very important for the ecosystem of the Mediterranean.The Porto della Madonna overlooks the Spiaggia del Cavaliere di Budelli. In the center we find Isola Carpa. Opposite Carpa Island to the east is the narrow Passo del Topo with numerous granite rocks emerging from the water that look like small sculptures.

    Roccia dell'Orso (pass by)

    During the navigation we will see one of the most fascinating natural monuments of all Sardinia, the famous Bear Rock (natural moment since 1993). According to the scholar of the Greek civilization Victor Berard, the promontory of Capo d'Orso would be the only place in the Mediterranean identifiable with the "Land of Lestrigoni" the cannibal giants, protagonists of the tenth book of the Odyssey. Presumably Odysseus landed at Cape Bear in search of food, but the giant cannibals inflicted heavy losses on him and forced him to flee.

    Porto Rafael (pass by)

    Continuing our excursion we will find ourselves contemplating Porto Rafael, a small and exclusive village, surrounded by rocks and pristine beaches, born in the early sixties, on the idea of Count Rafael Neville

    Frequently Asked Questions

    (8)

    Q: Will I get seasick on La Maddalena Archipelago Catamaran Day Tour?

    A: If you have any doubts about becoming seasick on the water, we recommend taking a Dramamine® Motion Sickness Relief tablet the night before your trip. Some people recommend taking it the night before your cruise and then again that morning so you will not feel so drowsy. Read more Feb 2023
