Why sail with us
The sea, without the worry
Skipper on board
On our tours you sail with someone who is out on this water every day, who knows where to stop and when it pays to change course.
Nothing to do but enjoy it
No manoeuvres and nothing to think about: you enjoy the sea, we handle the rest. Or take the helm yourself, if you hold a boating licence.
The BSC 78 RIB
Offset console and generous space: it is comfortable, and you can move around freely even with a full boat.
A team ashore
While you are out at sea there is always someone on land, ready to step in should anything come up.
The tours
Three moments of the day
Mornings onlyMari Pintau
The longest trip: we follow the whole gulf eastwards, all the way to the bay whose Sardinian name means «painted sea».
Morning or afternoonSella del Diavolo
The short loop, all inside the gulf: the caves under the headland, Cala Fighera, Calamosca and back along Poetto beach.
From 17:00Sunset aperitivo
We set out as the sun starts to drop, with an aperitivo on board. Food and drinks are included.
Or the whole boat to yourselves, up to ten people: from €400 for half a day, €800 for a full day with a skipper.

How the hire worksWhere we set off
The jetty at Marina Piccola
We set off from Marina Piccola, the small harbour below the Sella del Diavolo, where Poetto beach begins.
The stops
Where we take you
Calamosca
A sheltered bay between the cliffs, with shallow, clear water. The first stop, the one where it sinks in where you have ended up.
Cala Fighera
The inlet under the white cliff, just past Calamosca. These days it is seen almost only from the sea.
Sella del Diavolo
The headland that closes the gulf, seen from below. Sheer cliffs, sea caves and a Spanish watchtower on top.
Poetto beach
Five miles of pale sand and shallow water. From the sea you take it in all at once, as from nowhere else.
Mari Pintau
The best known of the eastern coves, beyond Capitana: pale pebbles and the water that gives it its name, «painted sea».
Cala Regina
Pale pebbles and a Spanish tower on the headland, at Terra Mala, on the eastern side of the gulf.
Is Mortorius
Pale granite cliffs and a shallow seabed, the furthest point of the morning trip.

The best boat trip I have ever taken in Italy. Friendly captains and a genuinely enjoyable tour. Fast and wild whenever you ask for it. Delicious food, and the wine is excellent too. It was a pleasure, Luca and Marcello! We'll see you again!!
An unforgettable experience. Booking was extremely easy, in Spanish too, and they answered all our questions. We had a wonderful time, children and adults alike. 10 out of 10!

A wonderful experience, very kind and skilled crew
An unforgettable boat tour and one of the highlights of our stay in Cagliari! Everything was exceptionally well organized. The organizer was welcoming, attentive, and professional, and the boat was beautiful, clean, and very comfortable. The itinerary included stops at Sella del Diavolo, Cala Fighera, Calamosca, Cala Bernat, and Poetto. We discovered breathtaking coves and coastal spots, some of which cannot be reached by land, making the experience feel truly special.
Frequently asked questions
How do I book?
On WhatsApp, by phone or by email — or with the form on the Contact page. There is no online booking: we arrange it directly, and on confirmation we give you the time and the exact meeting point at Marina Piccola.
What if the weather turns bad?
Tours depend on the weather: if the sea is not in condition we let you know in good time and move the date, or refund you. Safety on board comes before the programme.
Can I cancel my booking?
Yes: if you change your mind you can cancel up to 48 hours before departure, tour or hire, and we return the full amount.
What should I bring on board?
We recommend bringing: swimsuit, beach towel, sun cream (very important!), a hat or bandana, sunglasses, and extra water if you drink a lot. For the full day, a change of clothes too. No rigid bags or trolleys: a soft backpack is best. Snacks and cold drinks are waiting on board; in spring and autumn bring a light jumper for the wind.
