Spend three hours skimming the Gulf of Cagliari by dinghy, from the city’s harbor past the Sella del Diavolo to Poetto beach. Stops at Cala Bernat and Cala Fighera let you swim, snorkel, or sunbathe on the bow while the skipper handles the route.

The bow dips and the city slips away—Cagliari’s harbor gives you a last glance of church domes and tiled roofs before the dinghy threads its way east along the Gulf. Salt air sharpens the light; the skipper points out the Basilica of Bonaria, the stadium at Sant'Elia and then eases you toward small, sheltered coves where the water goes startlingly green.

Sun protection is essential
The Mediterranean sun is strong even on breezy days—use reef‑safe sunscreen, a hat, and UV sunglasses.
Bring motion‑sickness remedies
Dinghies are small and feel every chop—if you’re prone to seasickness, take a preventative or sit mid‑boat where motion is reduced.
Wear grippy water shoes
Several landings are on rock or coarse sand; closed water shoes protect feet and improve stability when boarding.
