Totally worth it, will do it again! Probably the best value for money when it comes to La Maddalena cruises. The ship was clean and the staff was friendly and helpful.

Our trip to the La Maddalena Archipelago was absolutely amazing! From start to finish, everything was perfectly organized, and the natural beauty of the islands left us speechless. My boyfriend and I truly enjoyed every moment—crystal-clear waters, stunning beaches, and the peaceful vibe made it feel like paradise. The agency made everything so easy and stress-free, allowing us to fully relax and soak in the experience. We would highly recommend this trip to anyone looking for a magical escape. Thank you for helping us create such beautiful memories!

Our boat trip with Sea Star was wonderful. We were a group of friends, and from start to finish everything was perfectly organized. We received all the necessary information in advance — where to go and which office to check in at. The boat was ready on time, we departed on time, and the crew took excellent care of us throughout the day. We visited beautiful places and stunning beaches. The only thing was that we happened to go on a very busy day, so the beaches were quite crowded. Next time, I would probably choose a weekday instead of Saturday, when there are fewer people. I especially enjoyed our stop in the town of La Maddalena — it’s a charming harbor town. Overall, I have a very good impression of the whole trip. The boat was clean, the crew was attentive, and it was clear they know their job very well.

The boat tour was a lovely day trip. The staff were super nice, the explanations were in multiple languages. The islands were beautiful and you had enough time to walk around and explore the beaches. There was espresso and snacks to buy on the boat and the views were amazing.

Nice boat tour, professional service on a comfortable modern boat. Staff were all nice and pleasant to deal with. I would happily recommend this company. Side note: When choosing from a range of different boat tour companies, I wanted a tour that included Caprera in the itinerary. However, this stop, at the so called 'natural aquarium' was very disappointing. The snorkelling was not good - we were very deep and there was only one type of fish visible. Perhaps we were unlucky on the day, but I would not recommend going out of your way to visit this spot. You can see more fish in the shallows at any beach in Sardinia!

Everything was of a high standard except our disappointment that we did not land on La Maddalena Island itself which we have experienced on several previous Boat trips around the La Maddalena Archepelago with other Lines when we have brought Guests with us. We have normally experienced both Swimming off the Boat and a Stop Off in La Maddalena -- on this Boat Line it was one or the other depending on the day of the week. We left at 10.30 returning at 4.30 so the bare 5 Hours!!

The trip aroud La Maddalena archipelago was great, the boat is smaller than the other touristic ones in Palau which suits me since there were less people on it too. Everything was good, the only negative thing is that we returned back almost an hour earlier than expected.

Very good boat tour, with stops on three islands plus 30 minutes for swimming directly from the boat. A nice vessel and friendly crew. Good value for money.
