The coves of La Maddalena by boat

The archipelago's finest beaches and the boat that reaches them: how the Capelli Tempest 570 is fitted out and the coves we can explore together — from Budelli to Cala Coticcio — with a route chosen on the weather and your wishes.

The coves

The coves you reach by boat

From the harbour of La Maddalena or Palau you're soon among the most beautiful beaches in the Mediterranean. Here are some of the places we can reach together — we choose the route based on the weather and what you love.

  1. The famous Pink Beach of Budelli island, in the La Maddalena archipelago
    01

    Budelli · Pink Beach

    Budelli is the iconic island of the La Maddalena archipelago, famous for its Pink Beach — sand with rosy hues that you can only admire from the water.

    The pink tint comes from fragments of tiny marine organisms and shells that settle among the grains, a rare phenomenon that made this beach known worldwide. To protect it, the area is one of the most safeguarded in the National Park: you can't land or walk on the sand.

    By boat we approach respecting the Park's rules and stop offshore, where the crystal-clear seabed around Budelli is perfect for a swim. Admiring the Pink Beach from the sea, framed by Santa Maria and Razzoli, is one of the highlights of the trip.

  2. The turquoise waters of the Natural Pools between Budelli, Razzoli and Santa Maria
    02

    Natural Pools · Budelli

    Between Budelli, Razzoli and Santa Maria lie the Natural Pools: the celebrated “Porto della Madonna”, a lagoon of calm, crystal-clear water with turquoise and emerald-green reflections.

    Sheltered by sandbanks and granite rocks, the Natural Pools are among the most photographed lagoons in Sardinia: the water stays shallow for dozens of metres and every shade of blue stands out against the fine, pale sand.

    By boat we follow the finest route among the northern islands and stop where the sea is calmest, for a swim in complete relaxation. It's the ideal stop for anyone after quiet, transparent water, weather permitting.

  3. Cala Corsara on Spargi island, white sand and turquoise water
    03

    Cala Corsara · Spargi

    Cala Corsara, on the southern side of Spargi island, is one of the most loved coves in the archipelago: white sand, shallow turquoise water and shelter from the wind.

    Set among wind-sculpted granite rocks, Cala Corsara offers an easy anchorage and clear waters that shift from emerald green to turquoise. It's the ideal stop for a calm swim and to take in the granite scenery that defines Spargi.

    By boat we reach it quickly from La Maddalena harbour and pick the most sheltered inlet depending on the day's wind. When the mistral blows, it's one of the safest and most pleasant shelters in the whole archipelago.

  4. Cala Granara on Spargi island, crystal-clear water and lush vegetation
    04

    Cala Granara · Spargi

    Also on Spargi island, Cala Granara is a dream beach: fine sand, crystal-clear water and lush vegetation that recalls tropical landscapes.

    Reachable only by sea, Granara is one of the most intimate and sheltered coves in the archipelago, away from the crowds. Its shallow, transparent seabed makes it perfect for a peaceful stop, between the granite and the green of the Mediterranean scrub.

    By boat we choose it on days when the wind allows, often paired with Cala Corsara: two gems of the same island just minutes apart.

  5. Cala Connari, emerald water and granite rocks in the La Maddalena archipelago
    05

    Cala Connari

    Cala Connari is one of the archipelago's most hidden gems: emerald water and granite formations that shape a wild, unspoilt landscape.

    Reachable only by sea, Connari is the ideal spot for those after a secluded corner, away from the busier beaches. Its transparent water and wind-smoothed rocks make it a small paradise waiting to be discovered.

    By boat we approach it calmly for a swim and a few moments of relaxation, choosing the most sheltered inlet depending on the day's sea.

  6. Aerial panorama of the La Maddalena archipelago and its islands
    06

    Towards the Strait of Bonifacio

    The Strait of Bonifacio is the stretch of sea separating Sardinia from Corsica, north of the archipelago: a marine protected area of rare beauty.

    Weather and wind permitting, you can head north among islets, shoals and crystal-clear waters, right up to the border with the French islands. It's the wildest, most open part of the trip, where the deep blue of the open sea meets shallow emerald waters.

    The skipper judges day by day whether conditions allow reaching this far: the Strait can be windy, but when the sea is calm it offers unforgettable views between Sardinia and Corsica.
