About
About Palau (ITPAU)
Palau sits on the Gallura coast where the granite comes down to the water in weathered lumps — the Capo d'Orso rock above the town is the best known of them. Its harbour exists chiefly to serve the island opposite.
La Maddalena is 2.0 nautical miles across the strait, 15 minutes, with 34 sailings a week in each direction under a single daily calendar. Departures run from midnight to 23:00 and arrivals from 00:30 to 23:30, so the archipelago is reachable at any hour.
Delcomar operates the crossing as a vehicle ferry. The waters between here and the island belong to the Maddalena archipelago national park, and the strait carries a steady traffic of yachts in summer — but the ferry works to a road timetable rather than a tourist one, which is why it runs through the night in February as well as August.
