Daniele was amazing on a very special and important day of our lives. I chose him to help me propose to my girlfriend on a private boat. As one can imagine it takes a lot of planning and attention and Daniele overdelivered. He brought and hid a gorgeous bouquet of flowers (presented to my now fiancé after the proposal) and made sure everything else was beautiful. Thank you so much Daniele and to everyone else…Daniele is highly recommended!

We had the most amazing day on Emerald Cruise Freedom with our host Daniele. Beautiful boat, great local knowledge, amazing destination. Don’t look elsewhere, this is the boat tour you need to do 😊

Absolutely wonderful! Nothing but great things to say and will have wonderful memories for years to come. Thanks again for the amazing day!

Wow. My wife and I had a perfect day cruising around the archipelago with Daniele. His boat is in pristine condition, and he took us to some of the most beautiful sights and coves of the archipelago while avoiding the crowds. We highly enjoyed his stories of the history and geography of the islands, which he is very familiar with having grown up in maddelena. If you can, I highly recommend a private boat tour of the archipelago and to book it with Daniele (reserve early, he books up fast!).

The whole day out, and it was spectacular. I would go again. Daniele was fabulous as is the beautiful Rib boat.
The knowledge of the area, the many small thoughtful details, and the general enthusiasm for providing a brilliant time are all highlights that created a beautiful memorable experience.
At our last stop my husband said to me ‘this is one of those moments, I wish I could bottle it!’
I did not want the day to be over.

Daniele was our tour guide during our honeymoon. Not only was he great to practice my italian speaking, his knowledge of the archcipalego, when to go to which beaches to avoid the crowd, and the overall experience was unbelievable. The boat was a great size for 2 but could comfortably fit 8-12, and was nimble enough to navigate the shallow waters with some of the beautiful spots.
The sunset apertivo x vermentino della Sardegna were perfect following a hot day beach hopping.
Will book Daniele again, when we return!

We had a great trip with Daniele and Sara on my husband’s birthday. Their boat is so nice and luxury. We felt so comfortable and welcome throughout the trip. Daniele and Sara are so knowledgeable on the beaches and islands. Moreover, they are the kindest and generous couples that makes this trip so special! We will definitely go to this tour again when we back to Sardinia!

We had a fantastic day on the sea onboard Emerald Freedom. Daniele picked us up as agreed and took us to some amazing places around the islands of La Maddalena, served us snacks and drinks and stopped at some fantastic places for us to swim and enjoy out time out on the sea. We could not have imagined a better way to spend a day on the sea 😁
Es una experiencia especial.
El barco es muy cómodo y tiene un tamaño perfecto; lo que permite que el barco se pueda acercar más a las playas, sin perder la comodidad. Además, está extremadamente limpio. Daniele es muy atento y cuida todos los detalles y se asegura de que sus pasajeros disfruten el viaje en todo momento. La pasión y amor que Daniele tiene por su trabajo y tierra se ve reflejado en esta experiencia, ya que realmente se asegura de que sea un viaje inolvidable.
Gracias Daniele por haber hecho que nuestro viaje a La Maddalena fuera increíble, y por llevarnos a conocer tus lugares favoritos y los importantes en la Costa Esmeralda; definitivamente una experiencia TOP.
Tu atención y dedicación hicieron que la experiencia superara nuestras expectativas.
It is a special experience. The boat is extremely comfortable and has the perfect size, which allows it go near the beaches, without loosing confort. Also, the boat is impecable and in perfect condition. Daniele is very attentive and takes care of everything; he makes sure that the guests enjoy every second of the trip. Daniele’s passion and love for his work is reflected in this experience, which makes it unforgettable.
Thanks Daniele for making our trip to La Maddalena incredible, and for taking us to your favorite secret spots and the must ones at the emerald coast, indeed a TOP experience. The trip exceeded our high expectations because of your attentiveness and dedication.
Best experience ever on board of the emerald freedom! Daniele is amazing, took us to the most fantastic places in la Maddalena, gave us time to enjoy ourselves and have fun on the water! The cruise is personalized for you to enjoy and avoid the most crowded places. I highly recommended if you want to have the best service in Sardegna. Daniele’s boat is spacious and super well maintained. Between one swimming and other we enjoyed some pro seco, snacks and local drinks. Everything was pristine. ❤️
We had a fantastic day at sea with skipper Daniele on the Emerald Freedom! Well organised, clean boat, and a lot of ‘ambiance’. Daniele showed us the most nice places where and when the crowd wasn’t there. Do not hesitate: this is the trip you were looking for😀!
Daniele was an unbelievable captain and gave us the most amazing and memorable experience on his boat! He is a devoted, caring and an extremely knowledgeable native to La Maddelena who will not only bring you to the most sought after locations in Sardegna but will take you to the hidden gems only locals know about. Daniele always took his time to ensure we were fully enjoying ourselves and was extremely conscientious with all members of our group. Experience was more than 10/10 and our group from Canada could not have imagined a better way to spend our vacation we will be recommended him to all our friends!
OMG!!! This is a MUST!! I can’t say enough about Daniele and Denise (Captain and crew) From the moment we stepped onto their beautiful and immaculate boat, we were swept away. Their hospitality and warmth made us feel like old friends.
We are from Maui, Hawaii and spend a lot of time on the water and around boats . So our bar is very high!! Emerald Cruises, Freedom far exceeded all of our expectations! This is a five star experience on a five star island with a five star crew!!!!!!
Unparalleled excellent service in the area! Daniele is a superb skipper capable of going the extra mile by creating a true premium experience in private boat tours. Choose him and you won’t regret!
First of all I want to thank Daniele & Denise for this beautiful boat trip!
This is a must do when you are in Sardegna.
The blue waters, the nice temperatures and with a private boat it makes it even more special.
You can choose your own departure time and place, they are super friendly and give you information about all the different islands. They go to places where it is less crowded so you can swim and take picture without too much people around you.
It was A real high light of our vacation!

Emerald Cruises are simply fantastic. They helped me to orchestrate one of the most memorable and special evenings of my life. We went on the sunset boat cruise, and were taken by our wonderful captain Daniele and his lovely wife Sara to Spargi Island. Daniele had arranged for the island to be totally deserted, which meant we had all the bays and beaches to ourselves - nothing short of spectacular.
We were also treated to a bottle of Ferrari champagne on Cala Corsara - probably the most beautiful beach I’ve ever had the pleasure of being on - followed by an enchanting dinner with local Sardinian bread, cheese, chutneys, meats, and wine. Daniele then timed our journey to watch the sun setting to perfection, having made sure he knew the exact moment that the sun went below the horizon - he timed
Daniele and Sara were such polite, friendly, attentive and kind people, and I can’t thank them enough for making our time in La Maddalena so special.

We visited La Maddalena in May 2022, and we've been lucky enough to spend one day on the Emerald Freedom: the experience has been nothing short than Fabulous!
The boat is in immaculate conditions and you can immediately see the level of details that the skippers/owners Daniele and Sara have put on it: the quality of the finish is top notch, the slightly elevated borders provide that feeling of protection that is needed while navigating around La Maddalena and the cushions (to lay down or simply sit down) are made of some material that doesn't heat up even on a hot-sunny day. The covers that can be opened while the boat is anchored out of of the fantastic beaches of La Maddalena is another great option, to get some breaks from the sun.
Let's talk about Daniele and Sara: they've been fantastic in keeping the group entertained with stories/knowledge about the various islands of La Maddalena (while we were visiting those), with great food/drinks, and with fantastic pictures that are taken around some of the best sights in Italy.
Overall, the experience has been absolutely brilliant: I absolutely recommend contacting Daniele and Sara if you're looking to spend a few hours of relax and luxury around the fantastic islands of La Maddalena archipelago!

What an amazing experience! I’ve been in La Maddalena in the last summer, and I choose to propose my future wife there, so I booked a romantic private sunset trip with Daniele few months before.
One of the best decisions I’ve ever made.
As expected, Daniele’s boat was super great, and the service was simply excellent. Daniele understood the importance of the moment and took his girlfriend, Sara, with him to help out taking photos and record everything so we could just relax and enjoy the moment.
They where just fantastic and deserves all the best.

When visiting Sardinia, you must book this private tour with Daniele! He is truly the most amazing guide. Every spot we went to was beautiful and he always knew the perfect time to arrive at each location before the crowds got there. Truly a spectacular day. Looking forward to coming back and doing this again!
