Catamaran Trip from Palau or La Maddalena to the Archipelago

We had a wonderful time on the catamaran Tiago with Federico and Riccardo today. They were kind and accommodating to our family including small kids, playing with them and offering food options suited to them. Speaking of food, it was delicious as was the wine, and all was plentiful! We felt very comfortable and relaxed throughout and had a great time seeing beautiful places and swimming. Nice group with us as well (though of course this is luck ) :)

The boattrip was definitely a highlight of our stay in Palau. The tour was well organised and our captain Federico as well as Riccardo have been nothing but amazing. They showed us amazing places and we got to swim in the most beautiful water I've ever seen. Food and drinks on deck where very tasty and freshly cooked by the guys. 10/10 can only recommend.

La guida ha spiegato poco niente sulle informazioni dell’isola . Cibo del’eurospin e pasta con sugo e sgombri in scatoletta . Una bottiglia di vino in 12 !! Doveva essere una gita in catamarano , invece siccome ha avuto un problema al motore siamo andati in barca con un rimborso di €10 a testa di differenza . Non ci siamo sentiti per niente a nostro agio tanto che avevamo un’altra gita con voi e l’ho annullata per paura di avere un’altra esperienza negativa. Peccato davvero anche perché non abbiamo pagato poco.

The spots we stoped at were absolutely beautiful - however, the boat was not big enough for 12 at all. It was an extremely tight fit around the table, and barely enough space for all to lounge on the deck and nets. Our guide was also quite strict and condescending, blaming the guests for not staying within the recommended swimming area whilst we were trying to but physically could not as the currents were quite strong, for accidentally sitting without our towels for a mere few seconds - accusing us of leaving dirty water marks on the deck that were already there, etc., (though granted she was knowledgeable about the area and its history). We did really enjoy the spots, the weather, sun and breeze overall but have had many better experiences on other boats.
