Highly recommended - fun trip, friendly crew and well organized - Highly recommended.
We booked a day trip from La Maddalena to Budelli, Santa Maria and Spargi.
The trip was very enjoyable and offered the opportunity to swim in the crystal, clear waters and explore various beaches.
The number of people aboard the boat was comfortable (not overcrowded) whilst the atmosphere was friendly. There was an opportunity to purchase lunch aboard (for the reasonable price of 10 euros) which was simple, tasty and generous in portion.
The crew were very friendly and helpful to all aboard the boat but particularly my son who was seasick (on the initial trip from La Maddelana to Budelli) and vomited. The crew cleaned up and attended to my son, offering both reassurance and tips. My son thereafter thoroughly enjoyed the remainder of the trip (even though it remained windy and wavy when travelling between stops). The crew continued to check in on my son throughout the day.
The company and crew were also very well organized and safety conscious. We received a message the evening before to advise that the trip may be altered or cancelled dependent on the wind conditions. The trip went ahead however the conditions continued to be accounted for.
The boat was the first to arrive at Santa Maria however the beach and sea soon became crowded as other boats arrived. We expected this may be the case (so mention it purely for awareness) however aside from Santa Maria we did not encounter any other tourist boats at the other stops.
In summary, the tour was well organized, the crew were very friendly and we all very much enjoyed the boat trip.

The tour of wonders - I took a trip with the Vagabondo motor ship to the La Maddalena archipelago. I saw bays, marinas and crystal clear and enchanting bodies of water, with fantastic and spectacular, dreamlike colours. All commented by the helmsman in multiple languages, with historical notes and professional competence. There was no shortage of stops in wonderful places for a dip in the sea and to lie in the sun on the silver sand. The staff - all of them - were always very kind, attentive and attentive. Lunch on board, very tasty and refined; the "cook" can NOT fear comparisons with starred chefs. This boat ride was wonderful. Highly recommended. GOOD. Italy.

Highly recommended - An unforgettable excursion, certainly the best time invested of all holidays.
The only tricky thing was finding the meeting point to board since there are no indications. We found out everything by asking other boat guides and by phone.

Friendly crew, great trip, huge crowd in August - We choose this company for being a bit cheaper than others and having good reviews on TA.
The day trip was 50 EUR/person.
We could buy drinks and food on board (water 1 EUR, Coke/Fanta 3 EUR, 1 shrimp and 2 parmesane pasta for 30 EUR)
We had a great day touring around the Archipelago, stopped az 2 beaches and had 1 snorkeling opportunity. Crew is very friendly, we felt well looked after. The sights were explained in Italian and English.
My only critism is not toward the company but toward the huge crowd everywhere we went:
there were other bigger boats like ours (we had about 40-45 people on board), all had the same route, they all poured tourists onto the beaches about the same time as us, so it was always very crowded. At the last spot we were among the lasts to leave- I'd rather stayed behind as it began to be
more peaceful.
I would not visit Sardinia again in August...

Start with the idea of going on an excursion with your loved ones and you find yourself having as company any other person 🤣 - Seats not always certain, too many people allowed on board and poor organization, difficult to enjoy the excursion in serenity.

Bad excursion - Terrible experience, I have made several excursions in my life, but never to be left for 3 minutes late on the quay of Cala di Santa Maria. Fortunately recovered by another boat (which made the same route by counting the people not on board and understanding if they were arriving unlike the other). At the island of Spargi I manage to get back on the boat, I begin to motivate what had happened and ask for explanations. I am verbally assaulted and in ways and attitudes that are not humane. I decide not to feed the argument that I had started with great politeness but some crew members keep yelling at me. I respect the question of time but never to be treated that way. That said, I would be careful to book this excursion with this company.

Completely dumped us at the moment of pickup without previous warning. worst experience fighting for a refund. - I recommend you 100 times getting out of this website and making a reservation with the local company. After making the reservation and getting the confirmation email we were completely left out of the trip in the pick up moment. The local sailman didnt communicate with the website and we lost our money and trip. Thank god in the moment we were at the port and were able to join another trip booking it right then and there, being able to check the boat and people and getting a better choosing opportunity. The experience with the company fighting for our refund was the worst, and we of course didnt get any further compensation. Still waiting for our refund, it was charged after letting them know about the caused situation.
