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 Itinerary
The tour sets off from central Cagliari, heading along the city waterfront. You will pass the Basilica of Bonaria, the stadium, and the Sant'Elia district as the urban skyline gradually gives way to open sea.
The first scheduled stop is at Cala Mosca, a sheltered cove close to the city. The calm, clear water makes it a natural spot to take your first swim of the day.
The boat continues to these two lesser-visited coves, offering tranquil conditions away from the main tourist trails. Each features clear turquoise water and rocky surroundings typical of the Sardinian coast.
A scenic stop at this distinctive coastal formation provides a striking backdrop for swimming or simply taking in the natural scenery from the bow.
The tour concludes near Poetto, the long sandy beach that stretches along the eastern edge of Cagliari. Arriving by sea offers a view of its full expanse rarely seen by those who visit by land.
