From Portisco sail up the emerald coast to the Maddalena Islands
Beginning your trip from Marina di Portisco, we suggest sailing north to La Maddalena National Park. This is an excellent charter area that is still somewhat undiscovered. There are several absolutely beautiful islands to sail to, and a first stop could be the island of Caprera. Caprera is where Giuseppe Garibaldi, one of Italy’s ‘fathers’ spent his retirement, and it is possible to visit the villa he inhabited. Next, the port of La Maddalena, here you can perhaps have lunch in the pretty port town or go to any of the islands famous beaches. Spargi is an uninhabited island, and on Budelli there is the Spiaggia Rosa in the southeast, an extraordinary pink sand beach. Then, Cala Santa Maria and Porto Massimo on the northern tip of La Maddalena island. All these islands have wonderful anchorages and provide opportunities for snorkeling, swimming and exploration.
