Sunset Boat Tour in the Capo Carbonara Marine Protected Area
A private evening voyage through hidden coves, golden light, and crystal-clear Sardinian waters
This private sunset boat tour from Villasimius takes small groups of up to eight guests into the heart of the Capo Carbonara Marine Protected Area aboard a modern 8-metre mini yacht. Departing in the late afternoon, the tour is designed to coincide with the most atmospheric light of the day. It combines swimming stops, coastal sightseeing, and a relaxed aperitif moment in one seamless experience.
The route passes along some of the most visually striking stretches of southern Sardinia, including the beaches of Punta Molentis and Cuccureddus. As the sun descends, the rocky coastline and turquoise shallows take on a warm, amber tone that rewards photographers and casual observers alike. The skipper navigates with local knowledge, adjusting the pace to allow guests time to absorb each setting.
At the island of Cavoli, the boat anchors to allow a swimming stop in clear, calm water populated by small fish. After the swim, guests can enjoy a curated aperitif of snacks and prosecco on board while the surrounding landscape settles into evening. The 2019 Quicksilver 805 powerboat is equipped with a cabin, bathroom, freshwater shower, fridge, and stereo system, ensuring comfort throughout.

How the Tour Unfolds
Guests board the Quicksilver 805 at the port and receive a brief safety introduction from the skipper. The boat departs into the protected marine area as afternoon light begins its transition toward evening.
The route follows the coastline past two of Villasimius's most celebrated beaches, viewed from the water. The skipper provides context on the marine protected area and the surrounding geography.
The boat anchors near Cavoli to allow guests to swim in clear, sheltered water. Snorkelling conditions are typically excellent here, with small fish visible close to the surface.
After the swim, guests dry off and gather on deck for a selection of snacks and prosecco. This segment is timed to coincide with sunset, when the surrounding landscape is at its most vivid.
The skipper navigates back to the port of Villasimius as evening sets in. The return journey offers a quieter perspective of the coastline under the last of the day's natural light.
