Palau  Sardinia  Boat  Tours

Latest page update: 6 January 2026

Overview

Overview
On Sardinia’s northern coast, the small port town of Palau sits directly opposite the La Maddalena archipelago, and Palau Sardinia Boat Tours are shaped by this short but highly varied stretch of water. Routes typically head north-east into the island group, with frequent changes between open channels and sheltered passages.

Boat tours from Palau are less about long cruising and more about gradual island-to-island movement. Distances are short, but variety is high, with granite islands, narrow straits, and shallow bays defining the day. Swimming and anchoring feature heavily, as boats can stop repeatedly without covering large distances.

Our Boat Tour Service

Our Boat Tour Service
Our boat tour service in Palau includes small-group, exclusive group, and private options, each designed around the geography of the archipelago rather than a single fixed circuit. Group tours usually follow established island-hopping routes, while private options allow you to spend longer in specific bays or move at a slower overall pace.
​
Tours are most commonly full-day experiences, reflecting the number of islands visited, though shorter options are sometimes available. Boats are chosen for stability and manoeuvrability in narrow channels, with shaded seating and easy access to the water. Skippers plan routes carefully within the marine park, balancing cruising time with frequent stops.
