The experience
Cala Mosca and Cala Fighera are the two named stops where you'll spend roughly 40 minutes in the water each. The boat departs from Cagliari port and moves through the Gulf, passing the Casole swimming pools and Poetto beach: a long sandy stretch where the Devil's Saddle, a distinctive rock formation, rises from the water. The complete route takes about two hours of sailing. The remaining time on the 3.15-hour tour is split between the two bath stops or used for lunch and drinks on board.
You pick the timing that fits your day: a morning departure, an afternoon sail, or an evening slot with a sunset aperitif. A live guide speaks English or Italian throughout. Soda and soft drinks come with the tour. If you want Sardinian meat or fish dishes, you can order them on board for an extra charge. Children from age 3 are welcome. Infants under 2 are not permitted.
The water here is clear enough to see into, and the coves are small and natural: no beach clubs or crowds. The boat is shared with other passengers, so you're not chartering a private vessel, and the pace is set by the guide and the two scheduled stops rather than by your own choices.
