You push off from Cala Gonone as a warm Mediterranean breeze tugs at the bow, limestone cliffs rising like a row of weathered teeth that dare you to skirt their bases.
The Gulf of Orosei’s coastline is carved from uplifted carbonates and sculpted by sea and time—caves gouged into cliffs, razor spires like Punta Goloritzè, and pebble beaches polished white by waves. Local villages on this stretch of Sardinia grew around fishing and shepherding; today small harbors still hum with boat traffic, mesh nets, and the smell of grilled fish.
A RIB grant you mobility: stop at Cala Luna to explore sea caves, drift over the turquoise shallows at Cala Mariolu for snorkeling, and approach the famed spire of Cala Goloritzè for photos and a short swim. Grotta del Bue Marino and the quieter coves near Punta Ispuligidenie reward slow cruising and a careful eye for rock arches and marine life.
Practicalities matter. Rentals run roughly eight hours; no boating license required but drivers must be 18 and carry ID. Fuel is extra (expect ~€35–€100 depending on use) and Baunei charges a small environmental disembarkation fee (€3 per person) payable in cash. Respect Posidonia meadows—use moorings where provided and avoid anchoring on seagrass. Bring at least 2 L of water per person, sun protection, snorkeling gear, and a windshell for cooler mornings. Check weather and sea state before departure and plan early starts to beat afternoon winds and crowds.
