Sunset Sailing Tour from Alghero: Capo Caccia, Cala del Rosso and Evening Aperitif
Sail into the golden hour along Sardinia's rugged northwest coast aboard a classic sailing boat.
This sunset sailing tour from Alghero offers an intimate evening on the water, departing from the historic Catalan harbour and following the coastline toward the iconic Capo Caccia promontory. With a maximum of seven passengers on board, the experience is quiet, personal, and genuinely connected to the natural landscape of northwestern Sardinia.
As the boat moves along the coast, the Maddalenetta lighthouse comes into view, its silhouette catching the fading daylight in a way that rewards those who appreciate understated coastal scenery. The skipper navigates familiar waters with confidence, allowing guests to simply observe the surroundings without distraction.
A stop at Cala del Rosso gives everyone the chance to swim in clear, calm water before the return to port. On board throughout the tour, guests are served an aperitif featuring typical Sardinian products and local wines, turning a scenic excursion into a relaxed evening ritual.

Itinerary
The tour begins at the harbour of Alghero, a town whose medieval walls and Catalan heritage set a distinctive tone. The boat departs into open water as the late afternoon light softens across the bay.
The boat follows the northwestern coastline in the direction of the Capo Caccia promontory, one of the most recognisable landmarks in Sardinia. The view from the water reveals the full scale of its limestone cliffs, which rise dramatically from the sea.
The skipper anchors at Cala del Rosso, a secluded cove with clear, calm water well suited for swimming. This stop offers a chance to cool down and take in the coastal scenery at a slower pace.
The route includes a stop near the island of La Maddalenetta, where the lighthouse stands as a quiet focal point against the evening sky. The boat lingers here long enough to appreciate the setting before turning back.
The boat makes its way back to the port of Alghero as night begins to settle over the coast. The return leg offers a last look at the illuminated walls of the old town from the sea.
