Private Boat Tour from Villasimius: Capo Carbonara Marine Protected Area
Sail the turquoise waters of southern Sardinia aboard a private mini yacht, visiting hidden coves, protected islands, and pristine coastline.
This private boat tour from Villasimius takes you deep into one of the Mediterranean's most treasured marine ecosystems, the Capo Carbonara Marine Protected Area, aboard a comfortable and fully equipped 8-metre motor yacht. With a maximum of eight guests and a dedicated skipper, the experience is as intimate as it is spectacular.
Departing from the port of Villasimius, the route winds along a stretch of coastline defined by white sand beaches, translucent shallows, and geological formations shaped over centuries. Each stop offers a different character, from the calm inlet of Punta Molentis to the protected lagoon of Porto Giunco.
The tour is rated easy and accessible, making it suitable for travellers of varying experience levels. There is no prior sailing or snorkelling knowledge required, and the skipper adjusts the itinerary in real time based on conditions to ensure the best possible experience on the water.
Tour Highlights
Cruise through the crystal-clear waters of Punta Molentis and Porto Giunco, two of southern Sardinia's most photographed coastal landmarks.

Snorkel the seabed of Cala Sa Calazziga, a secluded cove rich in sea life including fish, sea grass meadows, and rocky formations.
Reach Isola dei Cavoli and Serpentara Island, two protected islets surrounded by some of the clearest water in the entire Mediterranean basin.
Enjoy an onboard aperitif featuring typical Sardinian products while relaxing on the yacht between stops.
Travel on a fully private boat — no shared groups, no strangers, just your party and an experienced local skipper.
The vessel is equipped with full safety equipment, a freshwater shower, cabin, bathroom, and a stereo system for a comfortable day at sea.
