Aboard a small motor-sailing vessel the water changes color with each mile—steel gray near the harbor, then bright turquoise as you pass the low limestone ribs of Capo Caccia. The engine hums, gulls wheel, and the coastline leans closer: sea cliffs daring you to look over the rail.

History
Alghero’s coastal villages reflect centuries of maritime activity and Catalan influence from the 16th century; Capo Caccia’s cliffs have long guided sailors into the gulf.
Conservation
The gulf’s Posidonia seagrass beds are ecologically important—avoid anchoring in meadows and use designated mooring spots when possible; reduce plastic waste to protect marine life.

Sun protection is essential
Use reef-safe sunscreen and bring a wide-brim hat; UV reflection from the water intensifies exposure on deck.
Bring a dry bag
Store electronics and a spare layer in a waterproof bag to protect them from spray during transit.
Manage seasickness before boarding
If you are prone to motion sickness, take medication at least 30–60 minutes before departure and sit mid-ship where motion is less pronounced.
Footwear for boarding
Wear slip-resistant sandals or boat shoes to safely climb on and off the ladder at swim stops and when boarding from the dock.
