    Experience an exclusive tour in Alghero that offers an unforgettable experience. We start from the port and sail along the historic medieval walls, admiring them from the sea. We continue towards the enchanting island of Maddalenetta, where you can swim and dive into the crystal clear waters. While you relax, our skipper prepares a delicious aperitif with local wine and appetizers, to the rhythm of music. Enjoy the sunset and a magical atmosphere, in total comfort and relaxation. Book now for a unique adventure! Due to the nature of our 1978 MotorSailer and the complexity of sailing, which requires specific wind conditions, the trip will be made by motor. We have chosen to focus the onboard experience on guests' enjoyment and appreciation of nature, rather than pure sailing. The two hours would not be enough for a real sailing experience, which would require strong winds, not always pleasant for those who are not used to it.
