About this tour
Spend nine hours sailing the Gulf of Orosei aboard a 16-metre vessel departing from Arbatax port on Sardinia's east coast. You'll navigate turquoise coves including the dramatic Cala Goloritzé, swim in pristine waters, and snorkel among rocky outcrops. The day wraps around shared meals: local aperitifs at departure, fresh fish lunch mid-voyage, and crepes as you return. Groups of 4–10 only; tours cancel if fewer than four book.
Highlights
- Sail past Cala Goloritzé's towering limestone cliffs and turquoise shallows
- Snorkel gear provided; swim in crystal waters between remote coves
- Local charcuterie and wine aperitif aboard at start
- Freshly caught fish lunch prepared on the boat
- Small group intimacy: maximum 10 sailors per trip
What to expect
You'll board mid-morning and motor-sail along a rocky, cove-studded coastline. The boat stops twice or thrice for swimming and snorkelling in sheltered bays; bring a wetsuit if the sea feels chilly. Meals arrive unhurried—the crew serves drinks and nibbles early on, then a proper lunch of grilled or baked catch with sides around midday. Afternoons are quieter; some passengers read or doze on deck whilst others stay in the water. The return voyage is leisurely. Expect a genuine working sailing boat—compact quarters, no air conditioning, and a democratic vibe rather than luxury pampering.
Good to know
Minimum four people required or the tour cancels. Bring sun protection, a towel, and secure footwear for boarding. Not advised if you have heart or breathing concerns. Public buses serve Arbatax; arrange transport beforehand. No spirits included, though wine features at aperitif.
