We had a splendid time! The day was Beautiful, the water was clear and calm, and such a lovely day was spent with an amazing skipper and friendly passengers! The vibe was great we got to see some dolphins and many fish. Tho it would have been nice to have some snacks and soft drinks on board but luckily for us we brought our own after calling ahead of time to confirm with them. Would definitely recommend this tour!!!!

Itinerary
Having taken our place in the dinghy and settling in as we please, we will discover Cagliari, the capital of Sardinia, which offers a breathtaking view when observed from the sea. the itinerary along the port area promises a panoramic spectacle that showcases the best of the city. Look up towards the Castle district. From the perspective of the sea, the imposing walls and towers offer a spectacular view
while sailing, leaving the port we head towards Cala Bernat with its small white beach and characteristic ravines of the area *possible stop in case of non-optimal marine weather conditions for subsequent spots
first stop for swimming and snorkelling, on the beach preferred by the people of Cagliari in the presence of strong mistral winds, characterized by transparent waters rich in marine fauna beach sheltered from the mistral wind perennially present in Cagliari
cala fighera with its closed bay and walls overlooking the sea creates a beautiful, evocative and relaxing environment for the second possible stop of the entire tour, being able to dedicate time to relaxation, diving, swimming and fantastic photos in a fantastic location
one of the most evocative inlets of the Gulf of Cagliari for its history and legends as well as the majesty of the space inside it
at the foot of the sumptuous promontory of the devil's saddle we will stop in the formidable and evocative pools of Gasole, relaxing and swimming freely in the fantastic crystalline waters sheltered by the coast overlooking the sea which offers a one of a kind location
Our next stop is a charming marina located at the foot of the Devil's Saddle, on the east side. This small port overlooks a splendid bay, where Poetto begins, the famous city beach of Cagliari, 11 km long.
After having explored the entire Cagliari tourist itinerary up to the Sella del Diavolo and enjoyed the beauty of the Poetto beach, it's time to return to the Sant'Elmo marina. During the return, we will have the opportunity to review and appreciate again the splendid views and evocative places visited along the route.

We came to Sardinia with the MSC Splendida and unfortunately had only a couple of hours available in the afternoon. The day before, I contacted Samuele from Eventi da Mare, and even though it was last minute and peak season, he kindly managed to accommodate our request. He also gave us a discount because we booked directly with him 😊 When we arrived at the port, we took the free port shuttle, and from there it was only about a 5-minute taxi ride. As we were a group of 12, we needed two taxis. Unfortunately, we had one rather unpleasant taxi driver who saw that we were tourists and clearly tried to take advantage of us. Luckily, the other driver was absolutely lovely and did not allow him to do so. We actually understood the language, so I could hear them arguing about it! 😅 So, a little tip: after getting off the shuttle, always ask about the price before getting into a taxi. Samuele came personally to greet my family and welcomed us onto a very comfortable and safe RIB. We explored the beautiful Sardinian coastline, snorkelled in the crystal-clear waters and discovered Devil's Saddle, Cala Fighera, Calamosca and Poetto Beach. Samuele also shared lots of interesting information and history about the places we visited. And then came the highlight of our trip… DOLPHINS! 🐬❤️ We were incredibly lucky to see a group of dolphins swimming practically right next to us. They were so close that we could almost touch them! As the dolphins were still nearby when our trip was supposed to finish, Samuele generously stayed with us for another half an hour until they left — and he didn't charge us anything extra. Of course, we were more than happy to give him a well-deserved tip. 😊 For the adults, there was even some Prosecco, which was a lovely bonus! 🥂 At the end of the trip, Samuele also arranged our taxi back to the port. Unfortunately, the same unpleasant taxi driver was waiting near the Eventi da Mare offices, even though we had not booked him. Once again, he tried to take advantage of the situation, but thankfully Samuele and the lovely taxi driver stepped in and put him in his place — this time in their Sardinian dialect! 😂 The nice driver then managed to make two trips to take all 12 of us safely back to the ship. All's well that ends well! ❤️ If you happen to be in the south of Sardinia and want to explore the beautiful coastline, snorkel in crystal-clear waters, discover Devil's Saddle, Cala Fighera, Calamosca and Poetto Beach, learn about the local history — and hopefully even see some dolphins — Samuele from Eventi da Mare is definitely the right person to contact! 🐬😊 Thank you, Samuele, for making our short visit to Sardinia such a memorable one! ❤️
Our trip with Samuele was a really fun one. There was a good balance of history, snorkelling, singing, drinking, feeding seagulls. I went on my own and felt included in the group. I would highly recommend this tour.
The hosts, E Venti da mare team, were very sweet, kind and positive. Our boat captain was very skilled and professional. The boat was beautiful. The snacks and drinks were delicious. And most importantly, the views and experience were very enjoyable. I would recommend it to anyone looking for a fun sea adventure. We hiked down to the sea to see the natural art, which was a great way to spend three hours on the island. The place was definitely crowded and very touristy, but if you go outside the city, the place is very beautiful.
The four of us booked on to this boat tour not sure what to expect but we could not have had a better day! Samuele welcomed us quickly and made us feel right at home whilst giving us amazing facts and history about the incredible landscape. The tour was the perfect length, with stops to jump in and explore or to sit back and take in the surroundings with a cheeky glass of fizz. Samuele had great humour and made the day really fun even feeding the fish to get them to show up for us and also letting us pick our own music for our day out. I would highly recommend this to anyone who wants to see the amazing coastline and history of this beautiful place, thank you Sam!
A really amazing day with a great guide and lots of fun stops. Will definitely do this again next time I am in Cagliari. We got prosecco and cold water and the guide even had fish food to make sure the snorkeling was fun.
Friendly skipper and a nice boat. We were astonished by the views and the locations the skipper showed us. Highly recomended
We came across this company entirely by chance after finding their flyer at a kiosk — and it turned out to be an incredibly fortunate discovery. From the very beginning, we were met with exceptional care and genuine warmth from the staff. Every detail was taken care of to ensure we felt comfortable and safe during the cruise. Special thanks go to Sandro, who captained our trip — a truly kind and professional person. During the cruise, he shared fascinating stories about the island and its people, which added a unique and personal touch to the entire experience. A major advantage was also that Sandro speaks excellent English — something that, as we discovered, is not always common on this beautiful island. The cruise itself was absolutely stunning and full of unforgettable moments. It’s an experience that will stay with us for a long time. We wholeheartedly recommend their services to anyone looking not only for breathtaking views but also for a warm atmosphere and genuine care for guests.
Fun boat ride with the chance to swim in 3 different parts around David’s saddle. And even some Prosecco at the end. Would do it again.
We had a truly amazing morning visiting local spots for snorkeling and enjoying the trip with family and kids. Samuele could not be a better host/captain, and really did all in his hand to provide us with a wonderful experience. Meeting spot is 5 min taxi away from the cruise terminal, so very easy to come and go if you are enjoying a cruise as we were. Would recommend to everyone looking for a similar experience in Cagliari.
This was an excellent tour with Sandro. He was friendly, informative, accommodating and personable. This tour was the perfect way to spend a hot day in Sardinia and see the beautiful landscape. The water of Sardinia is beautiful, clean, clear and the perfect temperature. This was our favourite tour of our 10 day cruise. It was perfect!
Very nice trip, with beautiful water to swim in. We had a great time and even watched some dolphins catching some fish. 🐬 Would recommend the boat trip to everyone. ⚓️
My wife and I had a beautiful Poetto boat tour with Samuele. I asked for a romantic sunset tour as a surprise for my wife’s birthday ,and Samuele has fully satisfied my expectations. He prepared for us some apetizers and a cold prosecco bottle and we toasted at sunset. We fully recommend it 🧡
I purchased two tickets for a boat excursion and I was thrilled. A Swiss couple with two children was also traveling with us. The boat was comfortable and our guide was very kind and friendly. Splendid views of the coast, hidden beaches, and caves. The explanation in English and Italian was simple and very clear. There was no shortage of jokes and there was a fantastic atmosphere on board. Feeding the water birds and fish was also fantastic. If I had the opportunity, I would go back again and again. On board they also offered us some excellent prosecco and bottled water was available. Thank you very much for this beautiful experience.
It was a very beautiful excursion, then there was Sandro who is a very polite and very kind person, he took us with the dinghy to the most important beaches of Cagliari, he offered us prosecco and we also went swimming when he stopped with the dinghy
Top experience, thank you Alessandro.
Very detailed tour, but above all, skipper Sandro, very friendly and well-prepared, who accompanied us and immersed us in the pleasure of history and the magnificent seabeds of Cagliari
Truly beautiful, a unique emotion to experience
Nice tour around Cagliari with a friendly skipper. We would repeat it at any time and recommend it to everyone. P.S.: The recommendation at the end was also worth the trip.
A wonderful experience, friendliness and expertise are at home. The “damare events” team is always ready to welcome any request to make you feel “pampered”
The captain of the boat, Andrea, took us to beautiful places around the devil saddle at Cagliari. We could swim and snorkel. On board we got a glass of wine. It was super relaxed. Andrea talked about what we all saw. Excellent experience and highly recommended.
I gave away this excursion by rubber boat at sunset: it was super appreciated and I really made a great impression! A relaxing and perfect atmosphere to disconnect from the routine. The dinghy was comfortable and safe, ideal to enjoy the view in total relaxation. Also, skipper Sandro was very kind and very helpful. I recommend this experience to those who want to make an original gift or just live a special moment surrounded by nature. Finally, I thank Samuele for making this gift so special! 💛
It was the most beautiful thing about the trip to Sardinia. Sandro was very friendly and attentive to us, explained everything very well and we had time to enjoy each stop. Fully recommended.
Samuel and Sandro are 2 exceptional professionals who go well beyond their tasks!!! They welcomed us and made us feel welcome from the first moment, both on land and at sea. I could not recommend more helpful and competent people than them. Both were very kind and always ready to help us. I had doubts about the information found online on third-party sites, so I called Samuel. In less than two minutes it solved all my doubts and I immediately booked the evening cruise. My dispassionate Recommendation is to rely on them: you will not regret it! And last but not least, the Prosecco at sunset ... was really the icing on the cake of this beautiful experience .. you will learn so much about the local history .. on the Poetto and its coast .. Absolutely to do if you pass by Cagliari ✌️✌️✌️
On holiday in Sardinia with my son, we chose Samuele to make us discover the coast. Excellent choice: Samuele was a more than attentive skipper and made a tailor-made excursion for us. A wonderful walk on and under water! Thank you for this wonderful moment 🤩 I recommend +++
SPECTACULAR EXPERIENCE!!! will be that for those of Cagliari like us tends to underestimate the wonders around the corner. But what about, all wonderful, exceptional staff, helpful and prepared. Absolutely HIGHLY RECOMMENDED!!!
It was a 'unique experience..... fantastic places.... staff prepared and very kind..... Unforgettable
We look forward to repeating the unforgettable experience Samuel made us live. His love for the sea was contagious and made us have fun, always feel important in absolute safety and in full respect of nature. That sea and that trip were a pleasant surprise that Recommendation to everyone. The friendliness and professionalism he gave us added quality to the adventure. STRACONSIGLIATO!
Wonderful experience in every sense with Samuel who inspired so much tranquility and security I hope to repeat it soon
I wanted to share with everyone the wonderful experience I had with my family. With Samuele, who is truly a Pro in the field we felt among friends and safe. We got to know that stretch of crystal clear and uncontaminated sea unknown to many by hiking in the fantastic coves of the Devil’s Saddle, we felt lulled and relaxed like a new island, deserted and uncontaminated, living and enjoying a spectacular sunset. Torneremo presto! Non vediamo l’ora!!
Samuele took us to see the sunset from the sea of Cagliari..We spent 3 hours of fun and relaxation .. absolutely recommended
Fantastic experience... thanks to Samuele we were able to enjoy a fully relaxing day for us and our children... absolutely recommended
Spectacular experience in this large dinghy that conveys a lot of safety, guided by the expert hands of Samuele. I had my cousins as guests who came from abroad and he took us to see the coast in a way that even us locals never imagined. Discreet and polite, he was a splendid guide, making us relax amidst the wonderful colors of this part of Sardinia. Beautiful experience, definitely worth repeating!
Wonderful experience, we saw Cagliari from another perspective, Samuele was attentive and thoughtful, we will return soon
