Private Dinghy Tour from Villasimius: South-East Sardinia by Sea
Explore turquoise coves, granite islands, and hidden sea pools along the unspoilt coastline of Capo Carbonara.
This private dinghy tour from Villasimius takes you along one of the most rewarding stretches of the Sardinian coastline, visiting protected marine areas, sea-access-only coves, and the striking islands of Cavoli and Serpentara. The itinerary is tailored each day to weather conditions, ensuring a safe and comfortable experience on a 6-metre inflatable boat with an experienced skipper.
The south-east coast of Sardinia is defined by crystalline waters, granite rock formations, and beaches that remain inaccessible without a boat. Travelling by dinghy allows passengers to reach spots that standard ferries and larger vessels simply cannot access, including the natural sea pools of Sa Calatziga and the secluded cove of Punta Molentis.
The route passes the promontory of Capo Carbonara, a protected marine reserve recognised for its biodiversity and water clarity. Snorkelling and swimming stops are built into the itinerary at multiple locations, giving guests time in the water at each destination rather than simply passing by.
The boat carries a maximum of seven passengers plus the skipper, making this a genuinely private outing rather than a shared group excursion. An awning provides shade, and a cool bag is on board for refreshments during the crossing.
Tour Highlights
Swimming and snorkelling stops in the protected marine waters of Capo Carbonara.
Visit to Isola dei Cavoli with the option to walk to the lighthouse on the island.
Scenic passage alongside the granite cliffs of Serpentara Island.
Fully private tour for up to seven passengers with a dedicated experienced skipper.
Access to Sa Calatziga, a cove with natural sea pools reachable only by boat.
Relaxation time on board under an awning between swimming and exploration stops.
