Boat tours South Sardinia and west coast
Those who want to explore the southern coast of Sardinia can start from Cagliari and coast along the western side to Chia and the Gulf of Teulada, admiring a succession of headlands, natural inlets, and white sandy beaches. A popular destination in southern Sardinia for boat tours is Villasimius. Here you can circumnavigate the island of Cavoli and Capo Carbonara, enjoying the crystal clear waters of the marine protected area of the same name.
Sailing along the west coast, you can visit Carloforte and the island of San Pietro, and then arrive in Costa Verde, an area characterized by extensive sand dunes and unspoiled nature. Passing Oristano, you encounter the Sinis Peninsula and the island of Mal di Ventre, both part of a marine protected area.
Continuing north, it is possible to admire the imposing promontory of Capo Caccia and the Neptune Caves, one of the major tourist attractions in the province of Sassari. With an extension of about 4 km, they are the largest caves in Sardinia.
Boat tours North Sardinia and east coast
It’s on the north coast of Sardinia and all along the eastern side where you can find some of the island’s best-known seaside resorts: Porto Torres, Porto Cervo, Porto Rotondo, and San Teodoro (to name a few). From all these locations, it is possible to embark on boat tours of the Emerald Coast and experience Sardinia’s sea from an exclusive vantage point.
Those who enjoy snorkeling or scuba diving cannot miss an tour to La Maddalena or Asinara National Park. Another must-see destination for sea lovers is the island of Tavolara, which can be reached from Olbia. Further south, you encounter the beautiful Gulf of Orosei. Traveling along it by boat from Santa Maria Navarrese, you pass Cala Luna, Cala Gonone, Cala Mariolu and the Bue Marino caves.
Boat tours to La Maddalena
The Maddalena Archipelago deserves a place of honor among the best boat tours in Sardinia. Departing from Palau or other marinas on the north coast, you can visit the most picturesque spots in the National Park. These include the island of Spargi, the pink beach and Budelli‘s natural pools, St. Mary ‘s Island and the many scattered islets. You cannot miss a stop on the main island of La Maddalena and then on the beautiful island of Caprera: snorkeling here is also absolutely recommended.
Sardinia boat tours: prices and costs
Given the wide variety of offers, prices for a boat tour in Sardinia vary widely. A motorboat trip to La Maddalena costs about 60 euros per person, which is the average price of day tours
Rates also vary by boat type: sailboats, for example, are more expensive than motorboats. If you then want to rent a private boat, you have to consider the price of the entire boat for exclusive use, with rates starting at around 400 euros.
Gift a boat tour in Sardinia
A boat tour is a must-do activity if you are on vacation in Sardinia. A sailing tour or, perhaps, a half-day trip on a catamaran with lunch on board will be welcome gifts for anyone headed to the island.
But the possibilities do not end there. You can have boat aperitifs, dinners or mini-cruises of two or more days. Experiences of this kind, when done privately, can be great ideas for celebrating an important event in style. A boat party in Sardinia, for example, may be just what you were looking for for a truly unforgettable bachelor/bachelorette party!

05 Oct 2025 | Dinghy day trip to Asinara
Asinara, an island to discover
A beautiful day, from the dinghy you can see the most beautiful and wildest views of a wild island. The price is worth the trip also because Francesco can tell the history and the many anecdotes of these places with passion.

Really good experience:...
Really good experience: a few misunderstandings with the initial booking, delays in communication, but the experience itself absolutely unmissable! Fantastic skipper, friendly and put at ease. Particularly windy day, rough and choppy seas, creeks full of people, but we ended the holiday on a high note with this adventure! Super recommended! Sardinia really does have heavenly places.

A fantastic day in the company of Davide and Silvia
A wonderful experience that I would recommend to everyone. I had wanted to go on a fishing trip for so long and I did not regret having chosen Davide and Silvia. A wonderful day among beautiful coves, funny people, beautiful landscapes, discovering Asinara. Very nice to see and hear Silvia tell us about fishing with creels. Lunch in a wonderful cove with spaghetti with seafood,various fish,wine,myrtle coffee and typical Sardinian sweets and in the evening snack all together in another magical cove.A truly fantastic day!

Fun and relaxing day, accompanied by good food, wine and excellent company!
Incredible experience in the various coves around Asinara. Crystal-clear water, 'intimate' journey among a few (we were 8 passengers + crew), this gave us the chance to interact better with each other and made the day even more enjoyable. At the first stop, we were able to enjoy a Sardinian aperitif, accompanied by a Cannonau, all delicious! Also lunch with fregola and crab, accompanied by a Vermentino, and finally home-made Sardinian sweets, coffee and myrtle, truly TOP! We would also like to thank all the staff, the captain and his super helpful companion took care to put us at ease immediately, we laughed, joked and ate. My MVP of the day, however, goes to staff member Daniele! If we spend a few more summers in Sardinia I think we will re-book! Super recommended!
