RIB Tour from Cugnana to Capriccioli and Spiaggia del Principe
Discover the legendary coves of the Costa Smeralda aboard a fast, nimble inflatable dinghy guided by a skilled skipper.
This Costa Smeralda RIB boat tour departs from Cugnana in the Olbia area and brings you face to face with the most celebrated stretch of coastline in north-eastern Sardinia, where crystalline turquoise waters gave the coast its famous name. In just three hours, you will explore a sequence of breathtaking coves, pristine beaches, and dramatic headlands that are otherwise difficult to reach by land.
Aboard a powerful Inflatable Stinger Italboats vessel equipped with a Honda 150hp engine, your experienced skipper navigates toward legendary stops such as Capriccioli, Cala di Volpe, and the iconic Spiaggia del Principe. The boat's compact size and speed allow the group to access secluded anchorages that larger vessels cannot reach, giving you privileged views of hidden natural scenery.
Between sailing stretches, the itinerary includes refreshing swim breaks in sheltered coves where the water is remarkably clear and shallow. You can relax on deck with an aperitif on board while the landscape shifts from one postcard vista to the next, making this tour a comfortable yet genuinely memorable way to experience Sardinia's coastline.

Itinerary
The tour begins at the Cugnana marina in the Olbia area, where you board the RIB and receive a safety briefing from your skipper. The vessel heads out toward the open sea and the start of the Costa Smeralda coastline.
The first sailing stretch brings you to Punta Petra Ruja and the sheltered cove of Capriccioli, where granite rock formations meet impossibly clear water. This is one of the most photographed natural settings on the entire coast.
The skipper anchors in a calm, sheltered bay for a swim break, allowing passengers to enter the water directly from the vessel. Back on board, you are welcome to enjoy an aperitif as the boat prepares to continue.
The route continues past the glamorous Cala di Volpe bay before reaching the famous Spiaggia del Principe, or Prince's Beach, celebrated for its fine white sand and shallow turquoise shallows. This is the centrepiece stop of the excursion.
After exploring the headline beaches, the skipper charts a return course to the Cugnana marina, often following an alternative coastal route depending on wind and sea conditions. The tour concludes approximately three hours after departure.
