Cagliari 3-Hour Boat Tour: Gulf Discovery & Swimming Stops
A private speedboat journey along the Cagliari coastline with three dedicated swim stops in turquoise Sardinian waters.
This Cagliari boat tour takes you along one of Sardinia's most rewarding stretches of coastline, combining scenic sailing with hands-on access to the sea at three carefully chosen swimming locations. The tour accommodates a maximum of nine passengers, keeping the atmosphere personal and unhurried throughout.
Departing from Cagliari, the speedboat traces the full length of the city's coastline toward Capo Sant'Elia over roughly 45 minutes of sailing. Along the way, the rocky headlands and clear shallows frame a coastal panorama that is difficult to access any other way.
Three swim stops of around 45 minutes each are built into the route, giving passengers generous time to enter the water, dive from the boat, or use the onboard snorkeling equipment at a comfortable pace. Conditions permitting, the skipper selects the best positions at each stop to maximize both safety and enjoyment.
The Beneteau Flyer speedboat is well-suited for a small group, with large cushions, an accessible cabin for changing, and a bathroom on board. Whether you prefer resting on deck or exploring underwater, the boat's layout supports both.
Tour Highlights
Sail through crystal-clear waters along the entire coast of Cagliari toward Capo Sant'Elia on a comfortable 9-meter speedboat.
Pass iconic landmarks including the Natural Pools behind the Devil's Saddle, Cala Fighera, and the bay of Calamosca.
Enjoy three swim stops of approximately 45 minutes each with full freedom to swim, dive, or snorkel directly from the boat.
Snorkeling equipment is available on board so you can explore the underwater scenery at the swimming stops without needing to bring your own.
Cruise past Poetto, Cagliari's celebrated beach, and take in the contrast of the city skyline against the Sardinian sea.
Travel in a small group of no more than nine passengers, with a qualified skipper making all route decisions based on current sea conditions.
Tour Itinerary
Board the Beneteau Flyer speedboat at the departure point in Cagliari. The skipper provides a safety briefing and an overview of the planned route before setting off.
The boat travels along the full length of Cagliari's coastline over approximately 45 minutes. You will pass the Natural Pools behind the Devil's Saddle, Cala Fighera, Calamosca, and Poetto beach.
The skipper anchors at two successive locations chosen for water clarity and safety. Each stop lasts around 45 minutes, giving you time to swim, dive from the deck, or snorkel with the provided equipment.
A final anchoring point rounds out the swimming portion of the excursion, typically near the Devil's Saddle pools area or Poetto, subject to conditions on the day.
The boat heads back along the coast to the starting point, completing the three-hour excursion. Exact return timing depends on conditions and skipper discretion.
