Alghero Sunset Sailing Tour with Aperitif on Board
Glide along the Alghero coastline at golden hour aboard a classic sailing boat, with swimming stops and a Sardinian aperitif included.
This Alghero sunset sailing tour brings together the best of the Sardinian sea: ancient stone ramparts, turquoise coves, and the legendary silhouette of Capo Caccia bathed in fading light. Guests board a vintage sailing vessel and spend four hours discovering the coast from a perspective that land-based visitors rarely experience.
The route follows the Gulf of Alghero southward, hugging a shoreline where medieval walls meet the open sea. Along the way, the crew shares the fundamentals of sailing and offers insights into centuries of Mediterranean navigation history, turning the journey into both an adventure and a cultural encounter.
A stop near Maddalenetta Island allows time for an offshore swim in clear, calm water before the boat positions itself for the sunset view toward Capo Caccia. As the light shifts, a selection of local aperitif drinks and snacks is served on deck, closing the excursion in a relaxed and convivial atmosphere.
