Cagliari Sailing Boat Tour to Mari Pintau
A full day on the emerald waters of the Golfo degli Angeli, discovering hidden coves and pristine beaches by sailboat.
This Cagliari sailing boat tour takes you along the dramatic south coast of Sardinia aboard a spacious Bavaria 46 Cruiser, pausing at some of the region's most scenic and uncrowded anchorages for swimming and snorkelling. The journey covers a stretch of coastline that is difficult to reach by land, offering a perspective of Cagliari's natural setting that few visitors experience. A freshly prepared lunch with wine is served on board, making the day as comfortable as it is memorable.
Departing from Marina di Cagliari, the route passes along a series of coves and landmarks including Cala Bernat, Torre Aragonese, Cala Mosca, Cala Fighera, and the Grotta dei Colombi before the first swimming stop at Sella del Diavolo. This rocky promontory frames one of the clearest stretches of water in the gulf, where the seabed is visible at considerable depth. Guests are free to swim, snorkel, or simply enjoy the view from the deck.
The longest stop of the day is at Mari Pintau, a sheltered bay with shallow turquoise water and a fine sandy shore that remains quiet compared to the more accessible beaches nearby. The final stop in front of Poetto Beach rounds out the itinerary before the return sail to port. The Bavaria 46 Cruiser accommodates up to nine passengers across four cabins and two bathrooms, with a spacious deck and awning providing shade throughout the day.
The skipper adjusts the route based on sea conditions, ensuring that each stop offers the best possible swimming and snorkelling experience. The boat carries full safety equipment and is well suited to guests who may not have prior sailing experience. This is a relaxed, unhurried day on the water designed around comfort and direct contact with the Sardinian coastline.
