Exclusive service · Maddalena Archipelago

Are you at anchor
in the archipelago?
We come to you.

You're moored in the bay, you don't want to move the yacht and there's no berth available in port? No problem. La Grotta Restaurant sends the tender directly to your boat, drops you at Cala Gavetta — just steps from the restaurant — and after dinner takes you back on board.

All very simple

How the tender service works

Four steps. From the moment you call us to when we take you back on board, we handle everything.

1

Book and
send your position

Call or message us on WhatsApp. Tell us how many you are, your preferred time, and where you're at anchor — the cove name or coordinates will do.

2

Wait for us
on board

At the agreed time we arrive with the tender directly at your boat. No stress, no harbour mooring issues.

3

Drop-off at
Cala Gavetta

We bring you to the picturesque little harbour of La Maddalena. The restaurant is a short walk away, in the heart of the historic centre.

4

After dinner
back on board

At the end of the evening, the return is included. We agree on the time during dinner — relax and enjoy your evening.

A worry-free experience

You think about dinner — we handle the rest

Arrive without worries

We pick you up directly at anchor and bring you back at the end of the evening. No organising, no waiting.

No port stress

Cala Gavetta gets crowded in summer. Avoid manoeuvres, queues and looking for a berth: your boat stays where it is.

Just enjoy dinner

Forget about returns and manoeuvres. Choose the wine you prefer and enjoy the evening to the full, without worries.

Finding your way around

Where we are and how to find us

La Grotta Restaurant is in the historic centre of La Maddalena, at Via Principe di Napoli 3 — a short walk from Cala Gavetta, the small harbour where we drop you off.

The tender service covers La Maddalena bay and the nearest coves of the archipelago. If you're somewhere unusual or in a more distant cove, contact us — we'll see what we can do together.

When you book, send us your position: the cove name, mooring or GPS coordinates. If you have a satellite phone, even better.

In case of bad weather or rough sea conditions, we coordinate to find the best solution.
