Sant'Antioco: 4-Hour Private RIB Tour Along the South-West Coast of Sardinia
A half-day escape into hidden coves and crystal-clear waters on an authentic island within an island.
This private RIB tour from Sant'Antioco offers a focused four-hour exploration of one of Sardinia's most unspoiled coastlines. Designed for those with limited time, the experience delivers wild scenery, transparent waters, and sheltered anchorages without compromise.
Departing from the port of Sant'Antioco, the itinerary is shaped by a local skipper who knows these waters in detail. The route targets wind-protected coves and quiet bays that remain largely inaccessible by land, giving guests a perspective on the coast that few visitors ever reach.
The excursion balances movement with stillness. Time is built in for swimming, snorkelling over seabeds rich in marine life, and simply resting on board while the boat sits anchored in a calm bay.
The vessel itself is a Ranieri Cayman 23 Sport Touring RIB, measuring 7.5 metres in length and 3 metres in width. It is fitted with a freshwater shower, rear awning, sunbathing bow, dressing room, stereo, and USB sockets, making the on-board experience genuinely comfortable for groups of up to twelve passengers.
