RIB Hire in Calasetta: Discover the Hidden Coastlines of South-West Sardinia
Chart your own course through secret coves, white-sand beaches, and crystalline waters along one of the Mediterranean's most spectacular coastlines.
This RIB hire in Calasetta puts you in command of a well-equipped inflatable boat for a full day of independent exploration along the stunning shores of south-west Sardinia. Whether you head toward the island of San Pietro, the coastline of Sant'Antioco, or the dramatic cliffs of Masua, each route offers a genuinely different encounter with this untouched corner of the Mediterranean.
Before setting off, you will receive a thorough orientation covering boat operation, engine handling, onboard safety equipment, and simulated manoeuvres. A logbook with maps, recommended itineraries, and emergency contacts is included, giving you confidence throughout the day regardless of your prior experience level.
The day unfolds entirely at your own pace. Stop at isolated inlets, anchor off fine-sand beaches, or cruise along dramatic rock formations — the itinerary adapts to the weather and sea conditions of the day, with guidance on the most suitable route provided at departure.
Tour Highlights
Full day of independent navigation with three possible itineraries across south-west Sardinia's most scenic coastlines.
Access hidden coves, secluded inlets, and white-sand beaches reachable only by sea.
Explore the island of San Pietro and Carloforte, the coast of Sant'Antioco, or the majestic Pan di Zucchero rock at Masua.
Boat is fully equipped with GPS, climbing ladder, awning, and all legally required safety gear including lifejackets and life raft.
A 40 hp engine on a 5.50 m BWA inflatable boat provides a comfortable and capable platform for a full day at sea.
Weather-adapted route selection ensures you always take the most rewarding and safe itinerary for the conditions of the day.
A detailed logbook with maps, itinerary options, and useful contacts is provided before departure for easy reference on the water.
How Your Day Unfolds
Sign the rental contract, pay the refundable deposit, and receive your logbook with maps and contacts. A complete demonstration of boat operation, engine use, and safety equipment is provided, including simulation manoeuvres to build your confidence before departure.
Your operator advises on the most suitable of three itineraries: the Island of San Pietro and Carloforte, the southern coast of Sant'Antioco, or Masua and Pan di Zucchero. Wind direction and sea state on the day determine which route offers the best experience.
Set off and navigate the coastline at your own pace, stopping at coves, swimming spots, and beaches of your choosing. The boat's 40 hp engine allows you to cover distance efficiently while the awning and climbing ladder make relaxed stops comfortable and easy.
Anchor in sheltered bays, swim in clear turquoise water, and spend time on stretches of fine white sand. These moments of stillness in remote locations are a central part of the experience.
Return the boat to Calasetta port at the end of the day and refuel at the port petrol station. Fuel costs are settled separately, and your deposit is returned once the boat is confirmed to be in its original condition.
