Private Boat Tour in the Gulf of Alghero from Fertilia
A full day on the turquoise waters of northwest Sardinia, exploring sea caves, Roman ruins, and hidden coves aboard a private motorboat.
This private boat tour in the Gulf of Alghero takes you along one of Sardinia's most scenic coastlines, combining natural wonders, archaeological curiosities, and long swims in crystalline waters over the course of a leisurely seven-hour day.
Departing from the port of Fertilia, you and your group will have exclusive use of the motor boat Martina, a 12-metre vessel with twin 230-horsepower engines, an awning for shade, a freshwater shower, and snorkeling equipment for all on board. The experienced skipper handles navigation and local knowledge, leaving you free to enjoy the scenery and the sea.
The itinerary threads through some of the area's most celebrated landmarks: the dramatic limestone cliffs of Capo Caccia, the lighthouse that marks the cape's tip, and the submerged remains of an ancient Roman villa visible through the clear water. Stops for swimming and snorkeling are built into the day at natural pools and sheltered coves.
Three stand-up paddleboards are available on deck, and the boat's climbing ladder makes re-boarding straightforward after a swim. The route is designed to suit all ages and fitness levels, making it a relaxed and accessible outing for families, couples, and small groups alike.
Tour Highlights
Swim and snorkel at the natural pools beneath the cliffs of Capo Caccia, some of the clearest water on the Sardinian coast.
Spot the underwater remains of a Roman villa resting on the seabed, visible through the transparent water without diving equipment.
Cruise past the Island of Foradada, a small uninhabited rock pierced by a natural arch, subject to favourable weather conditions.
Anchor near Punta Giglio, a protected natural park where macchia scrubland meets sheer sea cliffs above a quiet bay.
Travel as a private group with an experienced skipper and a well-equipped 12-metre motorboat holding up to ten passengers.
Use the three on-board SUPs and full snorkeling gear included at no extra cost during the swimming stops.
Relax under the boat's awning between stops while the skipper navigates the scenic bay at a comfortable pace.
Itinerary
The tour begins at the port of Fertilia, just outside Alghero. After a brief welcome and safety introduction, the skipper sets course westward along the coast.
The first stop is the sheltered Bay of Tramariglio, a calm inlet ideal for a first swim of the day. The protected waters and gentle surroundings make it a comfortable spot for all ages.
The boat reaches the imposing limestone headland of Capo Caccia, where natural rock pools sit at the base of vertical cliffs. This is the main snorkeling stop, with the Roman villa remains visible on the seafloor and the historic lighthouse standing above.
Weather permitting, the skipper navigates around the Island of Foradada before continuing to Cala Inferno, a rugged inlet whose name belies its calm and scenic character.
The final destination before the return leg is Punta Giglio, a protected promontory within a regional nature reserve. The area offers a last opportunity to swim, paddle, or simply take in the scenery.
The skipper brings the boat back to Fertilia, completing the seven-hour circuit of the gulf. The exact timing of the return depends on conditions and the pace of the day.
