Motor boats from Poltu Quatu, Arzachena
The boats listed for Arzachena are motor boats, a day cruiser and a large hard-top yacht, placed at Poltu Quatu on the coast. The name means "hidden port" in Gallurese: the tourist marina was built inside a narrow, fjord-like natural inlet on the coast road between Porto Cervo to the south and Baja Sardinia to the north. It is busy in summer and quiet the rest of the year.
The La Maddalena archipelago lies offshore to the north-west, and our seven-day loop through the archipelago describes its islands and bays.
The national park sets its own summer rules (1 June to 30 September). Keep to 7 knots within 500 m of the shore and to 10 knots, in displacement mode, between 500 and 1,000 m. Anchoring on posidonia seagrass is banned, so drop the anchor only on sand or mud, or use the authorised buoy fields.
