Rent a Motorboat in Maddalena

Just off the western coast of Italy in the Tyrrhenian Sea, the biggest islands you’ll see are Corsica and Sardinia. But, between these two, there is a hidden gem. 

Maddalena is the capital of the island of La Maddalena, one of 7 larger islands and more than 50 tiny islands known as the Maddalena islands. Situated just 20 minutes from the coast of Sardinia you could simply take a day trip by boat to check out the main island.

You’d be missing out. Experienced sailors and the locals will tell you: you’ll need to rent a motorboat in Maddalena to really appreciate this paradise. It actually feels like you’re in a rugged Caribbean with summer temperatures between 28°C and 34°C and little wind.

That’s why renting a motorboat is such a good idea, it’s easy, you can choose to have a skipper or not, although you’ll need one if you have a boat over 30hp and don’t have a license. Best of all, you don’t have to worry about how feeble the wind is, you’ll still be able to sail around.

It’s best to explore the island by foot or by car, the scenic road around the island is just 20km long, giving you time to enjoy the stunning scenery and the warm climate. You’ll need to stop at the Spiaggia di Tegge, a natural cove with oddly shaped rocks in the water. This also needs to be appreciated from the sea. In addition, the Madonnetta chapel is located in Carlotto, a small cape on the island.
