5 Reasons Why a Private Dinghy is the Best Way to Explore La Maddalena

Imagine the perfect Sardinian postcard: water so clear it looks like a swimming pool, granite rocks shaped by the wind, and hidden coves completely empty of crowds.

​Now, imagine trying to reach those spots on a massive tourist ferry with 100 other people. It’s just not the same.

​At Happy Sardinia, we believe that the way you see the Archipelago changes everything. Captain Daniele has spent over 20 years navigating these waters, and he knows one truth: to see the real secret Sardinia, you need the right boat.

​Here is why booking a private or small-group dinghy (RIB) tour is the ultimate way to experience La Maddalena.

​1. We Go Where Yachts Can’t

​This is our secret weapon. Our 8-meter Nautica Cab is powerful yet agile. While large yachts and ferries have to anchor hundreds of meters offshore due to their deep draft, we can glide right into the shallow turquoise waters.

• ​The Result: You step off the boat directly into waist-deep crystal clear water. No long swims to get to the beach, just pure paradise at your feet.

​2. It’s Your Day, Your Rhythm

​On a standard tour, you are a passenger on someone else’s schedule. “10 minutes here, 20 minutes there.”

On our Private Tours, the clock belongs to you.

• ​Want to stay at Cala Coticcio (Tahiti) for an extra hour because the vibe is perfect? We stay.
• ​Want to skip a crowded spot to find a secret cove Captain Daniele knows? We go.
• ​Hungry? We can stop for a swim-break lunch whenever you want.

​3. The “Happy” Memories (Drone & GoPro Included)

​How many times have you been on vacation and realized you aren’t in any of the photos because you were the one taking them?

Captain Daniele isn’t just your skipper; he is your personal content creator. We carry a professional drone and GoPro on board to capture your dives, your smiles, and the stunning landscape from above.

• ​The best part? These memories are our gift to you. You focus on the fun; we focus on capturing it.

​4. Comfort Meets Adventure

​Some people think “dinghy” means uncomfortable. Not ours. We specifically chose the Nautica Cab for its balance of performance and luxury:

• ​Huge Sun Deck: Plenty of space to lay out in the front.
• ​Full Shade: A large awning protects you when the sun gets too hot.
• ​Fresh Water Shower: Rinse off the salt after every swim.
• ​Stereo System: Connect your phone and be the DJ of your holiday.

​5. A Captain Who Loves This Land

​You aren’t just renting a boat; you are spending the day with a local. Daniele’s passion for Sardinia is contagious. He knows the wind, the currents, and exactly which bay will be sheltered and calm on any given day. He shares stories, legends, and laughs that make the trip feel like a day out with an old friend.
