Cagliari: Dinghy Tour in the Gulf of Angels

Discover hidden coves, historic coastlines, and crystal waters aboard a powerful inflatable boat along one of Sardinia's most scenic shores.


This Gulf of Angels dinghy tour offers a rare perspective on Cagliari's coastline, taking you past landmark architecture, secluded coves, and the beloved Poetto beach in just three hours. The journey blends sightseeing with swimming stops, making it equally suited to first-time visitors and returning travelers seeking a fresh angle on the city.

Departing from central Cagliari, the route follows the waterfront past the Basilica of Bonaria, the city stadium, and the Sant'Elia district before reaching the tranquil waters of Cala Bernat and Cala Fighera. These lesser-known inlets offer calm, clear conditions ideal for a quick swim directly from the boat.

At least three stops of roughly 40 minutes each are guaranteed across sites including Cala Mosca, Devil's Saddle, and Poetto beach. The itinerary may be adjusted by the skipper depending on sea and weather conditions, ensuring safety without sacrificing the quality of the experience.

A refreshment service is included during the tour, with options ranging from Vermentino white wine to peach or lemon tea and water. Guests can choose to swim at each stop, sunbathe on the bow, or simply relax in the shade as the boat rides the gentle swell.

Tour Highlights

Swim directly from the dinghy at multiple coves including Cala Mosca and Cala Fighera.

Cruise past iconic Cagliari landmarks including the Basilica of Bonaria and the Sant'Elia district.

Sunbathe on the bow or relax under the awning as you move between stops along the gulf.

Enjoy a complimentary drink mid-tour, including local Vermentino wine or cold tea.

Travel aboard a 10-metre Capelli Tempest Open with a 300hp Yamaha engine and full safety equipment.

Onboard audio system and freshwater shower add comfort to your time on the water.

Reach Poetto, Cagliari's most popular beach, by sea for a perspective few visitors experience.
