Motor Boat Trip Along Alghero's Coral Riviera

Explore secret coves, turquoise bays, and wild coastlines aboard a private motor boat from Alghero.


This Alghero boat trip takes you along one of northwest Sardinia's most dramatic shorelines, where limestone cliffs meet crystal-clear waters and secluded beaches remain beyond reach by land. Small groups of up to eight guests cruise aboard a modern Quicksilver 805, guided by an experienced skipper who reads the sea and adapts the route to offer the best conditions of the day.

Depending on marine weather, the skipper charts a northern or southern course from Alghero's port. The northern route passes landmarks such as Capo Galera and Foradada Island before reaching the sweeping Porto Conte Bay. The southern alternative reveals quieter stretches around Cala Burantino, Poglina, and the Le Croci reef, where underwater visibility is exceptional.

Three or more stops allow guests to swim, snorkel, or simply float in the calm Sardinian sea. Dolphins are frequently spotted in these waters, and sightings, while never guaranteed, are a genuine possibility on many departures.

The outing concludes with a generous on-board aperitif featuring Sardinian cheeses, cold cuts, buffalo mozzarella, seasonal salads, Carasau bread, fresh fruit, and a full selection of beverages including local wine, beer, and spritz.
