Regulations of the La Maddalena Archipelago National Park

Please find below the rules and restrictions set forth for this season by the La Maddalena Archipelago National Park. These measures aim to preserve the natural beauty of the area and ensure a sustainable experience for all visitors.

• To help prevent beach erosion, passengers arriving via authorized transport vessels are not permitted to bring bags, backpacks, coolers, or inflatable items onto the beach, except for swimming aids (e.g., armbands, small kickboards, flotation rings).
• Only small waist bags or pouches for carrying personal belongings are allowed.
• The consumption of food on the beach and interaction with wildlife are strictly prohibited.
• Smoking is not permitted on the beaches under any circumstances.
• The use of beach umbrellas is restricted to families with young children (up to 10 years old), senior citizens over 65 years of age, and individuals with certified medical needs.
• Passengers are strongly encouraged to use beach mats when placing towels on the sand to minimize direct contact. As part of an experimental initiative, towels made from sand-repellent materials (such as microfiber) are permitted.
• After each beach stop, all guests are required to rinse off any sand from their legs and feet using the freshwater hose system available on board each vessel before reboarding.
• We kindly ask for your support in promoting waste separation on board. Clearly labeled containers will be available for different types of waste, accompanied by informative signage. Ashtrays will also be provided for the proper disposal of cigarettes and cigars.
• The disposal of any kind of waste into the sea is strictly prohibited.
• In accordance with the environmental policies of the La Maddalena Archipelago National Park, all vessels participating in excursions are committed to using compostable and biodegradable materials (e.g., plates, cups, cutlery). Additionally, the use of music and public address systems will be kept to a respectful volume, except in the case of emergency announcements.
