The Experience

If you land in Alghero with an afternoon free or you're staying nearby and want a day on the water without arranging transport yourself, this tour picks you up and handles the whole day. The catamaran is new and spacious—the operator emphasizes the shade, the cushions, the room to move—which matters because you're spending 6.5 hours on board. The route sails inside the natural park, stopping at the coves around Porto Conte and Capocaccia where the water is clear enough to snorkel. You get several stops, not a rushed run past them.

Swimming and snorkeling happen at your own pace; the boat carries full snorkeling equipment and two SUP boards if you want to paddle instead. Between stops, the skipper prepares lunch from local Sardinian products—sausage, cheese, seafood pasta with tomato pesto—along with an aperitif of bruschetta and typical local cheeses. Soft drinks, wine for lunch, and coffee or tea are available all day. The group stays small, capped at 12 passengers, so the boat never feels packed even when everyone is on deck.

The tour runs with a live guide in English or Italian, and the boat has toilets on board. Minimum age is 16. Public transportation options are available nearby if you need to reach the departure point, and the operator notes the tour suits all fitness levels—the swimming and snorkeling are optional, and there's plenty of shade and seating if you prefer to stay on board and relax.

Top questions

What's the difference between this catamaran and a bigger tour boat in Alghero?

This catamaran holds a maximum of 12 passengers instead of the 40 or 50 you'd find on larger vessels, and the boat is brand new with dedicated shade, cushions and space to move around. Fewer people means shorter waits to get in the water at each stop and a calmer atmosphere on board.

Do I need to bring my own snorkeling gear?

No. Snorkeling equipment is included with the tour, and the boat also carries two SUP stand-up paddle boards if you want an alternative to swimming or snorkeling at the stops.

What does lunch include on this sailing tour?

Lunch features typical Sardinian products prepared on board by the skipper: seafood pasta with tomato pesto, sausage and cheese, bruschetta, and local wines. Soft drinks, coffee and tea are available throughout the day, and an aperitif of bruschetta and mature cheeses is served earlier in the afternoon.

How many times do we stop to swim or snorkel?

The tour makes several stops inside the natural park around Porto Conte and Capocaccia where you can swim, snorkel or sunbathe on the boat. The exact number and length of stops depend on conditions and the group's preferences that day.

Is this tour suitable if I'm not a strong swimmer?

Yes. The operator notes the tour suits all fitness levels, and swimming and snorkeling are optional—you can stay on board in the shade and relax, or wade in the shallows at the coves instead of snorkeling deeper water.
