Cagliari Dinghy Tour: Discover the Coast by Inflatable Boat
A three-hour voyage along Cagliari's most scenic coastline, from the harbor to Poetto beach
This Cagliari dinghy tour takes you aboard a high-powered inflatable boat from Sant'Elmo pier, tracing a stretch of southern Sardinia's coastline that combines urban panoramas, rugged cliffs, and inviting turquoise waters. The journey is rated easy and suits a wide range of travelers looking for an active yet relaxed way to explore the area.
Departing from the city harbor gives you an immediate perspective on Cagliari's skyline, with its historic hilltop districts and layered monuments visible from the water. As the boat moves south, the urban scenery gives way to quieter coves and dramatic natural formations that are difficult or impossible to reach by land.
The itinerary includes at least three stops chosen by the skipper based on daily sea conditions, ensuring the experience remains both safe and rewarding. Whether the group pauses at a sheltered bay for a swim or anchors near a cliff face for photographs, each stop adds a distinct chapter to the outing.
Tour Highlights
Sail past the ultra-white sands of Cala Bernat, one of the coast's most photogenic natural beaches.
Anchor in the sheltered bay of Calamosca, a calm and protected inlet ideal for swimming.
Pass beneath the sheer cliffs of Cala Fighera, a striking geological formation rising from the sea.
Explore the pools beneath the Sella del Diavolo promontory, a favored snorkeling and photography spot.
Arrive at Poetto beach, one of Sardinia's longest and most celebrated urban beaches, at the tour's finale.
Keep watch from the harbor for dolphins, which are occasionally spotted near the pier at departure.
Admire Cagliari's coastal skyline and historic monuments from a unique sea-level vantage point.
Itinerary
The tour begins at the Sant'Elmo pier in Cagliari's harbor, where the group boards the Joker Boat Clubman 24. As the boat exits the port, the city's skyline and hilltop districts come into full view from the water.
The first coastal section features the sheltered bay of Calamosca and the bright sands of Cala Bernat. These spots offer calm conditions for swimming and a first look at the natural character of the shoreline.
The boat continues to Cala Fighera, where vertical cliffs drop directly into the sea. The skipper may pause here to allow passengers to take in the scenery and photograph the dramatic rock faces.
The distinctive saddle-shaped promontory of Sella del Diavolo marks one of the tour's most memorable stops. The shallow pools at its base are well suited to snorkeling and underwater photography.
The tour concludes at Poetto, a long sandy beach that stretches along the city's eastern edge. This is the turnaround point before returning to the pier, giving passengers a chance to appreciate the full scale of Cagliari's coastal strip.
