What People say...
I reached out to nearly a dozen companies to find the perfect boat for our group of ten (including 4 kids) and couldn’t have picked a better company and captain. Max and Simone were top notch. Incredibly kind, spoke great English to tell us all about the islands, so helpful with our kids and just impeccable hospitality. The boat held our group nicely and was spacious for lounging out front in the sunshine. Couldn’t recommend Max and Simone more!! Grazie Mille
Une journée idyllique ! Un bateau plein de charme, des hôtes sympathiques et un circuit magique. Merci à Simona et Max pour cette journée dont nous nous souviendrons longtemps
Fantastica gita! Max è un eccezionale skipper, molto preparato e gentile. A bordo gustato un ottimo caffè accompagnato da dolci sardi. La barca molto spaziosa e curata nei minimi particolari. Esperienza da ripetere assolutamente! Consigliatissimo!!!
Une expérience magique dans un cadre magnifique. Max et Simona sont très sympathiques et aux petits soins. Les endroits de baignade sont exceptionnels. Merci pour tout, une journée paradisiaque ❣️
Amazing morning spent with Max & Simona ! They were extremely kind, and made us feel very welcome, took extra care of one of the passengers which was pregnant and made this relaxed morning one to remember. It was a perfect mix of local story telling and peaceful beautiful beaches/sea. I will definitely spent another morning discovering the coast with them next time I pass through Sardinia!

Tavolara and Molara
Tavolara and Molara are among the most breathtaking stretches of sea in Sardinia and are part of the Tavolara – Punta Coda Cavallo Marine Protected Area, which extends from Capo Ceraso to San Teodoro. This remarkable corner of coastline preserves an extraordinary ecosystem and unique biodiversity, making it the perfect destination for boat trips from Porto San Paolo to discover an authentic and protected sea.
The archipelago enchants at first sight: crystal-clear waters, hidden coves, and vibrant seabeds create a truly special place where nature takes center stage, enriched by a fascinating and authentic history.
Tavolara is a limestone mountain rising dramatically from the sea, forming one of the most recognizable silhouettes along the north-eastern Sardinian coast, while Molara offers natural pools in shades of turquoise and emerald. Spectacular views, pristine waters, and an unspoiled environment make these islands a reference point for those who love to experience the sea with calm and respect.
