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 Caprerasnorkeling 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!

09 Nov 2023 | Half-day dinghy tour to Asinara

Fantastic tour around the island of Asinara. Simone is just great!

We had originally booked a half-day tour on a sailing yacht which was then cancelled as it was october and not main season anymore. Someone from freedome immediately called us to find another solution and suggested us this tour by dinghy.nnThe tour was fantastic! It is menat to take up to 8 people on the boat but on this day we were completely alone. This means we basically had a private tour without paying any additional fee. I can imagine it might get a bit stuffed, when it's fully booked. For us 2 it was absolutely amazing. We started with a beautiful snorkel stop at chrystal clear water at the nieghbouring island - isola piana. After this we continued to the island and were given the choice to either snorkel at the beautiful "castaway-like" lonely beach or to go and watchout for the white donkeys. We decided to look for the donkeys and after some very good instructions from our guide Simone we really saw one in the distance. We also saw wild horses, a wild goat and even a snake. The Island is just gorgeous and offers a magnificent view on the wildlife surrounded by the old ruins of the many prisons. We then stopped for another spot at a sandbank just in front of Asinara. Simone took a few pictures of us and answered all of my husbands questions concerning the prisons and their former inmates. After that we went back to a fourth stop for snorkeling while Simone prepared a nice little aperitivo includinc typical products and wine. We had a very nice chat with Simone about Sardinia, his life on the island and he gave us some good insights. Overall he was extremely acommodating and told us many interesting facts about the nature, the wildlife and everything concerning the area that we were exploring. We felt very welcomed and were happy that we ultimately got to experience the tour with this company. Would totally recommend the tour and happy to come back again one day. Thanks a lot!

11 Sep 2023 | Dinghy tour in the Gulf of Orosei from Cala Gonone

For this amount I would not recommend it

Premising that I know the eastern part of Sardinia well and have taken part in many organised tours (not with Freedome) I cannot give 5 stars to today . I'm sure there were some much-appreciated extras, undoubtedly beautiful places, but if in the detailed programme it says "bathing at cala goloritze" and then in reality there is only a 10-second stop without docking and at my request for a "quick dive" I'm given a flat "no" because there's no time ... and then we stop 2 hours in cala mariolu and 2 hours in cala luna ... I can't explain it! Also because the weather conditions were all there and it was not even crowded .... Today's tour had also been chosen on the basis of this stage , alas not happened !!! Perhaps the dinghies should be divided between those who have to visit the sea ox and those who do not, perhaps more stops should be scheduled bathing and less time on the beach, maybe the captain after a full season no longer wants to interact with others and does not have the patience to listen to the needs of all or even worse because he is used to foreigners who are okay with everything ... I do not know, but considering that 80 € are not absolutely a few should be reviewed a little 'management of the thing. Moral of the story: for this amount I wouldn't do it again, nor would I recommend it.

25 Jul 2023 | Dinghy tour from Cala Gonone to Cala Goloritzè

A magical beach adventure

My partner and I booked a dinghy tour of the Gulf of Orosei and it was an absolutely unforgettable experience, and I couldn't have asked for a better way to explore the stunning coast of Sardinia. This tour took us to three amazing little beaches, and we even had the pleasure of stopping at Cala Goloritze for a refreshing swim. Our tour guide, Esteban, was the true highlight of the entire trip. His expertise, enthusiasm, and professionalism made the boat ride not only fun but also incredibly comfortable. He provided us with a wealth of knowledge about the region, and its history. His infectious energy and genuine excitement kept everyone engaged throughout the journey, making it much more than just a sightseeing tour. You could tell he was passionate about his job! Our group of 10 was also the perfect number, a group of like minded and adventure loving individuals made the whole trip even better. nnThis tour was undoubtedly the highlight of our trip to Sardinia. It allowed us to discover some of the most beautiful and unspoiled beaches the region has to offer, and the experience was made even more special thanks to Esteban's warm personality and expertise.nI cannot recommend this tour enough.

01 Sep 2023 | Dinghy tour along the Baunei Coast

Can reccomend!

The trip was worth the money and I feared that the boat would be little bc of the price but there was quite a lot of space (the boat didn't look like the picture, there were seats on the one I was going on). I went during holiday season for Italians so I was the only english speaking tourist on the boat. The captain was super nice and made sure to guide in English as well just for me. I was travelling solo but even though it was an good experience and people were so nice on the boat. Also, if you don't have snorkeling equipment, you can rent it at the Nautica Ticket office at the port for 5 euros, just ask for it. nnI didn't prepare well for the trip cause I was such a rush arriving to the boat place, that was on me though. I'll recommend packing lunch and something to drink since you're going to the wild where there aren't any shops or restaurants. The captain was nice and gave me a bottle of water though. It wasn't before about our last stop at Cala Mariolu that there was a bar where they sell food and drinks

17 Jul 2023 | Sailing boat day tour to the Asinara Island

Asinara 110 with honours!

Giorgio is a fantastic skipper and a great guy and also a great cook! You step aboard his sailboat and it's like you're at home... (trust me, it's not for everyone). (After describing the various anecdotes and the history of the Asinara Park, he let us relax and enjoy the turquoise waters of the best sea in Italy... An excellent aperitif with salami and Sardinian cheese, and the inevitable bread carasau and Vermentino wine.nAt lunch, an appetizer with fresh mussels and an exceptional pasta with mussels and shrimp, followed by coffee and sweets of the Sardinian mother delicious! I must say that we were lucky, 4 couples from different places in Italy, but immediately part of the crew of the sailing boat. To conclude shopping at the farm dell'Asinara and photos with the Asinelli ... Recommended to all with the heart!

22 Aug 2022 | Motorboat tour from Palau to the Maddalena Archipelago

Very nice tour but...

Very nice tour. Departure at 11 a.m. from the port of Palau, a perfect time for those who, like me, want to wake up calmly during the holidays. The 2 bathing stops of the tour beautiful, especially the island of Budelli: never seen such a paradise. Fair bar prices (icnusa beer in a can €3, coffee €1.50 I think). I give 4 stars instead of 5 for the last stop, Caprera. After approaching from the beach (without going down) there was a short stop to dive into the water. Apart from the unbelievable crush that was created, the worst thing was swimming to get back into the boat: very strong current because of the boat engines running, very dangerous. People were in difficulty and clinging to others, creating panic. I would advise against children or people who have difficulty swimming. Otherwise OK.
