“Everything was as expected. Well organized, pleasant operators, good lunch/refreshments on board. Stopped at beaches ay Isola Spargi and Isola Santa Maria with lunch stop on the water by Isola Budelli. Unfortunately the headwind only allowed the sails to be put up on the way back. Overall good value for a day of fun sailing around the Maddalenas.”
