The wooden hull rocks steadily as the marina slips away and the turquoise of the Gulf of Cagliari opens up—a ribbon of beaches, hidden coves and limestone cliffs daring you to dive in. From Marina Piccola in front of Poetto, the skipper charts a short clockwise route that threads five stops: wind-sheltered coves, a swim-to beach, the Torre del Prezzemolo promontory and the Sella del Diavolo outlook where the sea flashes from turquoise to deep green.

The wooden hull rocks steadily as the marina slips away and the turquoise of the Gulf of Cagliari opens up—a ribbon of beaches, hidden coves and limestone cliffs daring you to dive in. From Marina Piccola in front of Poetto, the skipper charts a short clockwise route that threads five stops: wind-sheltered coves, a swim-to beach, the Torre del Prezzemolo promontory and the Sella del Diavolo outlook where the sea flashes from turquoise to deep green.
The coastline here records millennia: Phoenician and Roman sailors once used these bays, and the Sella del Diavolo bears remnants of coastal watchpoints. Geologically, the shore is a mix of Pleistocene limestone benches and sandy pockets that create the clear, seagrass-lined seabeds you’ll see snorkelling. Cultural notes arrive with the aperitif—local salumi and pecorino, a glass of Vermentino or Prosecco—small acts that link modern pleasure to island foodways.
Practically, the three-hour cruise supplies masks, a SUP and bottled water; expect short swims from the boat, ladder access and variable sea conditions. Wear reef-safe sunscreen, a snug mask and reef shoes if you plan to climb onto rock beaches. The skipper’s two decades of local experience keeps the route flexible—stops can change with wind—so aim for morning departures for calmer water and clearer snorkeling.
This trip is compact, social and ideal for those who want a short taste of Sardinia’s coast: easy swimming, photo-friendly coves and a relaxed onboard aperitivo to close the circuit.
