With his professionalism and extensive expertise in the maritime industry, Commander Samuele will ensure that your excursions of the Tavolara Protected Marine Area are 100% safe. Our boat, "Upupa Pigrona", meets all safety and seaworthiness standards in accordance with current regulations.
Upupa Pigrona is a 10.5-metre American-style Trawler with two spacious cabins with en-suite bathrooms, a dinette, and a galley. Outside, there is ample space for a front sundeck, flybridge with soft cushions and awning, and cushioned stern.
We provide snorkelling gear, a freshwater shower to refresh yourself and, of course, a convenient ladder to climb back on board. The boat can accommodate up to 12 people.
Our mission is to offer our guests an unforgettable day in the Tavolara Marine Park on board our comfortable boat. We want you to completely unwind while sailing in the crystal-clear turquoise sea and taking in the breathtaking views so you can forget the hustle and bustle of daily life.
