Gulf of Orosei Self-Guided Boat Rental

RIB Rental from Cala Gonone: Discover the Gulf of Orosei at Your Own Pace

Sail freely along one of the most dramatic coastlines in the Mediterranean, from hidden coves to towering limestone cliffs.


A Gulf of Orosei RIB rental gives you the rare freedom to explore Sardinia's most celebrated stretch of coastline entirely on your own terms. Spend a full day navigating between world-class beaches, sea caves, and crystalline coves without a fixed schedule or a crowd. This is coastal Sardinia as it was meant to be experienced.

The Gulf of Orosei sits along the eastern coast of Sardinia in the region of Ogliastra, protected by the Gennargentu National Park. Its shoreline is inaccessible by road, making the sea the only way to reach beaches like Cala Luna, Cala Mariolu, and Cala Goloritzè. Renting a RIB from Cala Gonone places you directly at the gateway to this extraordinary landscape.

Your vessel is a Joker Boat inflatable dinghy, five metres in length and equipped with Yamaha or Mercury 40 HP engines, an awning for shade, cushioned seating, and a climbing ladder for easy re-entry after swimming. The boat accommodates up to six passengers, making it an ideal choice for small groups, families, or couples seeking a private day on the water.

The itinerary is entirely yours to shape. Whether you linger at Cala Luna to explore its famous sea caves, anchor at Cala Mariolu for a long snorkeling session over white pebbles, or push further south to photograph the celebrated rock spire at Cala Goloritzè, the pace and priorities are set by you alone.

Tour Highlights

Full freedom to navigate the Gulf of Orosei coastline at your own pace across an 8-hour rental window.

Access to Cala Mariolu, renowned for its translucent waters and white pebble seabed, perfect for snorkeling.

Explore the dramatic sea caves and white sand of Cala Luna, one of the most photographed beaches in Sardinia.

Sail to Cala Goloritzè, home to a towering limestone spire and a beach enclosed by sheer cliff walls.

Stop at lesser-visited beaches including Cala Biriola and Cala Sisine, both accessible only from the sea.

Modern Joker Boat RIB built in 2015, equipped with awning, cushions, and a climbing ladder for comfort and safety.

Private rental for up to 6 people, no shared boat, no fixed group — ideal for a fully personal experience.

Suggested Itinerary

1
Departure from Cala Gonone

Pick up your RIB at the port of Cala Gonone and receive a briefing on operating the vessel. Head south along the coastline as the limestone cliffs rise dramatically from the sea.

2
Cala Luna

Anchor at Cala Luna, where a broad white sand beach meets a series of striking sea caves carved into the cliff face. The contrast between the pale sand and turquoise water makes this one of the most distinctive stops on the coast.

3
Cala Biriola and Cala Sisine

Continue south to two smaller, quieter beaches that reward those who venture further along the coast. Both offer crystal-clear swimming water and natural surroundings with minimal infrastructure.

4
Cala Mariolu

Reach Cala Mariolu, widely considered one of Italy's finest beaches. Anchor offshore and use the climbing ladder to slip into water over a white pebble and rock seabed ideal for snorkeling.

5
Cala Goloritzè

Navigate past the natural rock arch and into the bay of Cala Goloritzè. The beach sits beneath towering limestone walls, and the iconic spire rising above the cove is a designated natural monument.

6
Return to Cala Gonone

Make your way back to the port at a comfortable pace, returning the boat with a full tank of fuel. Payment for fuel consumption is made directly on site.
