About
About La Maddalena (ITMDA)
La Maddalena is an island with a causeway to another island but no bridge to Sardinia. Caprera, where Garibaldi spent his last years, is joined to it by a road embankment; the mainland is 2.0 nautical miles of open strait away, and the only way across is the boat.
The crossing to Palau takes 15 minutes and runs 34 times a week in each direction, from 00:30 through to 23:30 on a single daily calendar covering the whole year.
The town was a naval base for most of two centuries, Italian and then partly American, and the harbour still has the scale of one. Delcomar works the route as a vehicle ferry — for the several thousand people living here it is the road out, which is why the timetable does not thin at night the way a tourist service would.
