Discover Cagliari like never before: Cagliari Sea Experience invites you to enjoy a refined and intimate adventure through the crystal-clear waters of Cagliari. On board our elegant traditional Sardinian boat, you can relax in both shaded and sunny areas, stop at several beautiful spots for swimming and snorkeling, and simply enjoy the waves while our captain shares authentic stories and fascinating insights about the coastline. This tour is designed for those looking for more than just a boat trip. Enjoy a traditional Sardinian aperitif with local products, great music, and plenty of fun along the way. Perfect for couples, friends, or special occasions, available as either a shared or private tour. A high-quality experience that is welcoming, relaxing, and truly authentic — away from the crowds and close to the true spirit of Sardinia. A Sardinian aperitif is always included. We have two boats, which allows us to accommodate larger groups while maintaining the same level of comfort, quality, and personal attention. For larger groups, we can use both boats to ensure everyone enjoys the experience. We always recommend the morning tour, as weather and sea conditions are usually better at this time of day. The afternoon tour includes 2–3 stops. For the sunset tour, we will make two stops only, allowing us to enjoy the sunset without rushing and make the most of this special moment.
Great experience! I loved the boat, the skipper, the clear waters, snacks - everything was amazing. We stopped on beautiful bays were water was so clear and also warm. Do not miss this!!
Fantastic morning out on the water, great local knowledge of all the spots we would definately recommend this trip.
Great Tour with the very kind and friendly guide Franco. Cool experience and truly a Highlight of our Holiday. Thank you Franco :)
Fantastic tour with the incredible Skipper Jean-Luca who has made the tour an unforgettable experience! Amazing landscape, nice boot, delicious Aperetivo, small group! Thank you! We would book it again!
This was an absolutely delightful afternoon! Our guide, Gianpaolo, was charming and accommodating. Even though the group was from four different nationalities and languages, he made sure that everything was well explained in English and pointed out all the interesting sites along the way. There was ample seating and shade for those who needed it, and it was good to have a restroom and shower on boardThe equipment for water activities was clean and plentiful, and the locations he chose were scenic and beautiful. The aperitif was delicious and the company was most pleasant.I highly recommend this for a special afternoon exploring Cagliari.
Excellent tour for a family trip. Our skipper Franco has a wealth of knowledge about local history and mythology. He picked out the perfect swimming spots for our party ranging from age 4-70. Highly recommended!
Amazing experience!! Franco was a fantastic host and the beaches were stunning! I would 100% book this again!!
Really great experience and Franco was a great captain! Highly recommend.
Absolutely unforgettable experience that was the highlight of our trip
Raffaele was a gem of a skipper and it felt like we were boating with a friend instead of someone we just met. He knew his history of the areas we boated by or visited and took us to some amazing swimming areas. This is a must-do for anyone visiting Cagliari.
Such a great boat tour and best way to spend a morning on the harbour. Franco was a great guide, very friendly, welcoming and knowledgeable. He took us to the nicest beach spots, had a great swim, some lovely aperitifs. Good vibe, good music and met some other lovely travellers. Thank you so much again Franco for this experience, highly recommend it!
Great experience! Captain Fran was very accommodating. A lovely trip on the boat with some nice drinks and aperitifs. Conditions were great too and we saw dolphins! Thanks so much
This tour was the perfect way to spend a day in Cagliari! From pick up at Bacan (where we enjoyed an espresso since we arrived early) to all the stops on the boat- Franco had everything taken care of! He shared local information, took us to amazing viewpoints and swim spots and prepared an excellent aperitif of local Sardinian meats, cheeses, bread, and prosecco. We loved our tour and would absolutely do it again! We even saw dolphins. Franco is an awesome guide and we loved this experience!
This was a perfect day! We were taken out on a classic boat at a nice slow pace to enjoy the scenery. The water was exquisite and so calm! And we saw dolphins swimming in the bay. We stopped at 3 locations for a swim and all were so incredibly beautiful, I didn't want the day to end. The boat is more spacious than the pictures show and there is a bathroom on board. The owner/skipper was very hospitable and made sure everyone had a good time. I highly recommend this tour! If you want a relaxed day on a comfortable boat to swim in the most beautiful waters you have ever seen then book now. I would definately do this again if I came back
All perfect , location , boat , and the capit Franco top 👌
Was an amazing experience. Franco was friendly, and truly passionate about what he does. He made everyone feel comfortable and shared fascinating insights throughout the trip. Everything was perfectly organized, relaxing, and fun from start to finish. I would definitely repeat this experience without hesitation!
Great experience, great shipper Franco. Grazie mille
Franco was so welcoming and knowledgeable of the area. The tour was exactly what we hoped for!

The best experience!! My husband and I did the first tour with my mom. And it was very nice and fun. The water was still a little cold, but the experience is highly recommended!
We had an amazing time on our boat trip along the beautiful coast of Cagliari! Franco was incredibly knowledgeable and friendly, making the whole experience both fun and informative. The boat was comfortable and well-maintained, and we made three stunning stops with crystal-clear turquoise waters that were perfect for swimming and relaxing. The Aperitif and Antipasti served on board were excellent — a delicious touch that made the morning even more enjoyable. Everything was perfectly organized, and the atmosphere was relaxed and welcoming throughout the trip. Highly recommend this experience to anyone looking to see the wonderful Cagliari coast from a unique and unforgettable perspective.
The boat tour with Skipper Franco is a dream. Beautiful swimming stops in the clear water and great Aperitif and Antipasti. Franco does everything with great passion, is super fun, and takes care of everyone-even the dog loved it. Highly recommended!
Excellent experience, Captain Franco was very sociable and very knowledgeable about the history and we felt very safe with him. We anchored in a beautiful turquoise bay and swam with snorkels and hundreds of fish, while he prepared an aperatif of bread, cheese parma ham and local meats with ice cold Prosecco to wash it down. A pure gentleman and very professional I would highly recommend this trip, also reasonably priced
We had such a wonderful time with Cagliari Sea Experience! As a deaf couple, sometimes communication can be a challenge, but our boat driver was so friendly, understandable, and cool that we felt completely comfortable. He made sure to stop for swimming, helped us with the swimming vests, and even offered snacks and champagne on board. It was an unforgettable experience — relaxing, fun, and welcoming. Highly recommend this trip to anyone visiting Cagliari.
Friendly professional and fun. Franco was a great host and the boat was perfect for the trip to see some amazing scenery and hear about some local history. Thank you for a great time.
We had a great time with the Cagliari Sea Experience. Franco, our captain, was wonderful—he created a great atmosphere and shared many interesting facts about Cagliari and the surrounding area. He also treated us to delicious food and drinks. We highly recommend a boat trip with Franco!
It was very good. Nicely designed and was fun. Franco was also very nice and hospitable, the bays for swimming were also very nice. Highly recommended ☺️
We did the sunset trip and it was incredible. We saw a huge dolphin jump out the water and the most unbelievable sunset. Francos English was amazing and the fizz was delicious.
This was a great tour! I highly recommend. Franco was a great guide and gave us lots of history as we passed around Cagliari. He provided goggles, snorkels, Prosecco, water, a yummy aperitif and even offered to take pictures of our group. The boat was very comfortable with seating options for shade or sun and had a bathroom available. We went to beautiful swimming spots and had plenty of time to enjoy. Definitely a must do if visiting Cagliari!
Amazing trip. Franco looked after us all the way. Nice aperitivo by the devils saddle ❤️ don’t miss out on swimming in the caves.
The trip was amazing, the host is really friendly and full of knowledge of local myths and habits. The boat is nice with a lot of shadow if you want to. The spots he sails to are beautifull and rugged as well.
Franco was really great! Shared interesting history with us and was very attentive with making sure we were comfortable. We got to see some beautiful beaches and great snorkeling! It was a perfect half day to spend on boat!! I’d book the same tour again if we had another day in Sardinia!!
Franco is an excellent guide and skipper! The trip is on a very nice older wooden boat in perfect condition. Total of 9 people on the boat are still very spacious and Franco is doing his absolute best to keep everyone happy. Highly recommended tour!
Amazing tour around the best waters ...had a great time with franco I highly recommend it ... Crystal clear waters...smooth boat ride and wonderful scenery
Our captain did a great job and we were well taken care of. Abundant opportunity to swim and relax. Highly recommended!!!
Such a nice and easy boat trip. We were with an 11 months old baby on boat. Captain was super friendly and helped with everything so we felt super comfortable. And also he told us some history about places around on our way. And of course, the most important! All stops for swimming were super beautiful. Amazing clear water. We had a little brunch table Sardegna style. Good vibes only ☀️ I do really advice this tour.
Fantastic boat trip, we went to a few incredibly beautiful swimming spots that you would never be able to access from the land. Our captain Franco was great and gave us some good local knowledge. He also served a lovely local aperitivo of fresh prawns & sparkling wine.
The best day on the boat with Franco, beautiful swim spots and some amazing fresh prawns and ice cold aperitif. 10/10 recommend for the ultimate Cagliari experience!
A great tour with Franco, very nice and friendly. We were in a small group of 7. We went on 4 differents spots and we were able to swim in each one of them. We even had a nice aperitif. A very good expérience. I recommend it.
Beautiful experience and Franco was a wonderful host The best boat tour by far !!! Look forward to coming back to sea the dolphins
Amazing trip! Did some snorkelling, saw many places you can only get to by boat and even saw some dolphins on the way back - thank you Franco!
Captain Franco is an experienced, funny and entertaining sailor and professional. He took us on a 3-4 hr tour with 3 stops for swimming on the southern west coast. He gave us a lot of history about the area and told us legends about specific rocks etc. We were a family of 6 adults - and the beautiful traditional boat was perfect - it had a clean toilet below and some shade to sit. He provided amazing Sardinian wine, meats, cheeses and traditional bread. It was a perfect boat trip!!
Captain Franco is an experienced, funny & entertaining sailing professional. We had a great 3-4 hr trip around the coast and he told us many history facts about the churches & legends along the coast. He provided our family of 6 adults wonderful Sardinian wine and meats and cheeses. There was a clean toilet on board this cute wooden boat and some shade on board. Perfect way to see the coast.
Me and my wife went on a boat trip on June 12, 2025 ! It was one of the best experiences of our lives. Capitan Franco is an extremely nice and hospitable person. The boat is super comfortable and the drinks and food are amazing.
Great experience! Totally recommend! Clear boat, Awsome tour, best time spent lately! Franco is definitely the guy that is able to transform a boat road in an amazing experience!
We wanted a relaxed day enjoying beautiful scenery and that is exactly what we got! The communication with Franco when I was looking to book was excellent. We were in Cagliari on a day stop on the Crystal Symphony. We walked from the port to the meeting spot, which took about 30 minutes (you can walk the entire way along the water--you just have to hug the perimeter of the naval base at one point). The boat was beautifully maintained. With a maximum of 8 guests, we felt that we had plenty of room. And the other guests sailing that day were delightful. The snacks and apertif was perfect and traditional. The music selection was just right. It ended up feeling like an outing with friends! Captain Franco clearly loves what he does and justifiably takes pride in the experience he offers. I think we made the right choice of the one thing to do in our short time in Cagliari. My new phone wallpaper is the indescribably blue waters and the impressive cliffs of Sardinia.
If you like the details in life … this is your. Beautiful wooden boat floating around Sardinia with class. Captan Franco owns it .. hospitable , kind , thoughtful, and full of knowledge, highly recommend
I had the best time exploring the beautiful Sardegna with Captain Franco, on his boat experience with aperitivo. He was so professional, the boat was beautiful, and he gave a great amount of history/facts about what we were seeing, in addition to time to relax and enjoy the views. I would recommend Franco and this company to everyone visiting Cagliari!
What an amazing time we had for my partners birthday. Franco was an excellent host. We saw the most beautiful beaches, learned some of the history of Sardinia, ate some delicious food and enjoyed the most tranquil of settings. The sea was calm and the water was clear. Franco will show you the most beautiful spots for fishing and swimming. He even teaches surfing! You could not ask for more with this captain! We will be back! Cat & Lewis from London
My fiancé and I have taken many private boat tours throughout Italy and this one was by far our favorite! I booked months in advance and so glad I did! Franco was such a laidback, and fun guide. He took us to the most incredible waters we’ve ever seen on private beaches only accessible by boat and topped it off with rose and a cheese, neat and fish platter that was very tasty! I would highly recommend doing the private excursion. He was very flexible with the times we wanted. Don’t miss out when in Cagliari!
