Capelli Tempest 570 Rental Cagliari: Skipper Boat Tour

Steer an Italian boat to Cagliari's secret coves, with a skipper choosing the stops

Rent the Capelli Tempest 570, a spacious Italian inflatable boat in Cagliari, with an expert skipper who navigates to the best coves and tells local stories. The boat holds up to eight people, needs no license to operate, and includes snorkel gear and prosecco. The excursion runs 3.5 to 4 hours from Marina Piccola, with a sun awning, climbing ladder and full safety equipment on board.

The experience

You arrive at Marina Piccola in Cagliari and step onto the Capelli Tempest 570: a boat built by the Italian shipyard known for quality design. At 5.7 metres long, it has room to move around, a bow sundeck for sunbathing, and a sun awning that keeps you shaded while the skipper handles the navigation. The boat runs on a 40 HP Yamaha engine and needs no license to drive, so even first-time boaters can take the helm if they want. The skipper knows the Gulf of Cagliari and picks the stops based on conditions and what you're after: the Poetto coast, the Faraglioni rock formations, the Piscine natural pools, Cala Fighera, the Grotta dei Colombi sea cave, Cala Mosca, Cala Bernat, and Calamosca lighthouse.

Once you reach a cove, you drop anchor in water clear enough to see the bottom. A snorkel kit is on board, so you can slip in and explore the reefs and fish without extra cost. The boat carries a climbing ladder for easy entry and exit. Between swims, you settle into the deck chairs or the sundeck while the skipper shares stories about the coast: the history of the lighthouse, the names of the coves, the local life along the water. A bottle of prosecco and non-alcoholic alternatives come with the rental, so you can toast the view without leaving the boat.

The boat is equipped with all the safety gear required by law: life jackets for children are included, and the skipper carries the full complement for everyone on board. The excursion lasts between 3.5 and 4 hours, enough time to visit two or three stops and spend real time in the water without feeling rushed. You return to Marina Piccola with the memory of coves most visitors never reach.
