Indeed, in August and July the concentration of boats is quite impressive and can be overwhelming. You will never fall short of places to anchor, but the most &#8220;touristy&#8221; ones are saturated and the ports are full and charge high prices due to the high demand. That being said, it remains the time of year when the days are longer and the water is at the best temperature!<\/span><\/p><p><span style=\"font-size: 20px; font-weight: 400; color: var( --e-global-color-text ); letter-spacing: var( --e-global-typography-a3abf13-letter-spacing ); text-transform: var( --e-global-typography-a3abf13-text-transform );\">So, it\u2019s a difficult choice. Jean-Marc specifies that June or September are good alternatives. The water is not as warm in June and the days are shorter in September, but you will enjoy La Maddalena without the hordes of rental boats flooding the region in summer time. In the end, if you have no other choice than to go in July or August, choose the first half of July or the last half of August.<\/span><\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-388a46f0 elementor-widget elementor-widget-spacer\" data-id=\"388a46f0\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"spacer.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-spacer\">\n\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-spacer-inner\"><\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t<section class=\"elementor-section elementor-top-section elementor-element elementor-element-1a454c9 elementor-section-boxed elementor-section-height-default elementor-section-height-default\" data-id=\"1a454c9\" data-element_type=\"section\" data-e-type=\"section\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-container elementor-column-gap-default\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-column elementor-col-100 elementor-top-column elementor-element elementor-element-9a29b03\" data-id=\"9a29b03\" data-element_type=\"column\" data-e-type=\"column\">\n\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-wrap elementor-element-populated\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-1ff6f435 elementor-widget elementor-widget-heading\" data-id=\"1ff6f435\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"heading.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<h1 class=\"elementor-heading-title elementor-size-default\">Important Boating Regulations in La Maddalena<\/h1>\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-53623983 elementor-widget elementor-widget-text-editor\" data-id=\"53623983\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"text-editor.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<p>La Maddalena is a protected paradise with strict regulations to preserve its natural beauty.
