Self-Guided Boat Rental · Villasimius · Sardinia
RIB Rental in Villasimius for Up to 8 People
Chart your own course along the wild south-east coast of Sardinia
A RIB rental in Villasimius gives a group of up to eight the freedom to explore one of the most unspoiled stretches of coastline in the Mediterranean, departing directly from the harbour into crystal-clear turquoise waters.
The south-east coast of Sardinia is studded with granite headlands, hidden coves, and sea-only beaches that reward those who arrive by boat. Operators at the harbour provide route suggestions tailored to conditions on the day, helping you make the most of each hour on the water.
Whether you head toward the protected waters around Isola dei Cavoli, trace the dramatic cliffs of Serpentara, or anchor in the natural pools of Cala Sinzias, each destination is within comfortable reach of Villasimius port. The half-day format lets you move at your own rhythm without the constraints of a guided group tour.
Tour Highlights
Full autonomy to design your own route along the south-east Sardinian coast.
Swim in the natural sea pools of Cala Sinzias, accessible only by boat.
Reach Isola dei Cavoli and Serpentara Island, two iconic landmarks of the area.
Every boat is equipped with a full set of safety equipment for peace of mind.
Private rental for your group of up to eight — no strangers, no shared schedules.
On-board shower lets you rinse off after each swim before moving to the next stop.
Canopy awning provides welcome shade during peak sun hours at sea.
How the Experience Unfolds
1
Departure from Villasimius Harbour
Collect the RIB at the harbour, receive a briefing from the operators, and set off into the open sea. Staff are on hand to suggest the best route based on weather and sea conditions that day.
2
Isola dei Cavoli
Head toward this protected marine reserve island, where the water turns vivid shades of green and blue. Anchor offshore and enjoy your first swim of the day.
3
Serpentara Island
Navigate along the granite cliffs of Serpentara, one of the most visually striking formations on the coast. The rugged rock faces and clear shallows make this a favourite stop for snorkelling.
4
Cala Sinzias Natural Pools
Drop anchor at Cala Sinzias and wade into the shallow natural pools formed between the rocks. This beach is only reachable by sea, making it one of the quieter gems on the route.
5
Free Exploration Time
Use any remaining time to revisit a favourite spot or discover a new cove at your own pace. The route is entirely flexible around your group's interests.
