Dolphin Watching

Description

In the coastal waters of northeastern Sardinia, between the Archipelago of La Maddalena, the Emerald Coast and the islands of Tavolara and Molara, the sighting of wild dolphins is almost a constant, especially in spring and autumn. During July and August, however, the possibility of meeting them is greater in the early hours of the day and at sunset, when traffic of boats is less.

In the coastal waters of northeastern Sardinia, between the Archipelago of La Maddalena, the Emerald Coast and the islands of Tavolara and Molara, the sighting of wild dolphins is almost a constant, especially in spring and autumn. During July and August, however, the possibility of meeting them is greater in the early hours of the day and at sunset, when traffic of boats is less.

During our sailings, they usually swim on the wave created by the bow of the boat and are also attracted by the bulb, the cast iron counterweight that is underwater and that serves to counteract the weight of the emerged parts of the boat, preventing it from overturning. We don’t know exactly why, but this blue “torpedo’ attached under the keel intrigues and attract them. Thus we see them swimming, sinuously diving on one side and emerging on the other, as in an underwater choreography. The alternation in this game gives us the opportunity to see them closely, to film and photograph them with ease.
