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.

Tour Highlights

Watch the sun descend toward the horizon from the open sea, with the cliffs of Capo Caccia as a dramatic backdrop.

Swim in the turquoise waters off Maddalenetta Island, a quiet islet away from the crowded beaches of the bay.

Learn the basics of sailing and discover the rich history of navigation in the western Mediterranean.

Admire the historic ramparts of Alghero from the sea, offering a perspective unavailable from any land-based viewpoint.

Enjoy a curated Sardinian aperitif served on deck as the coastline glows in the evening light.

Explore hidden coves and unspoilt islets along the Gulf of Alghero that are only reachable by boat.
