The catamaran slips from Alghero’s harbor and the town’s old walls fall away into warm late light; gulls wheel and the sea pushes the hull forward as the coast blurs into open water.
This two-hour evening excursion threads past medieval ramparts and heads toward the small island of Maddalenetta beneath the low limestone shelves that characterize the Gulf of Alghero. The area sits on a karst coastline shaped by ancient uplift and sea erosion — the cliffs and caves of nearby Capo Caccia are the dramatic cousins of these gentler islets. Alghero itself bears strong Catalan and Sardinian influences: the language on signs and the seafood-forward aperitifs reflect centuries of maritime trade.
Onboard a comfortable 13‑meter catamaran, guests have about 30 minutes of sailing to the anchorage, then time to swim, dive from the boat, snorkel, or try one of four stand‑up paddleboards. The crew serves a simple Sardinian aperitif with local white wine and regional bites as the light dips below the horizon and the sea cools.
Practically: meet 15 minutes before departure at the port, wear swimwear under casual layers, and bring reef‑safe sunscreen and a towel. Restrooms are available onboard and the cruise is suitable for most fitness levels; motion‑sickness remedies are advisable if you’re prone to rolling seas. Booking is private and refundable with 24‑hour notice; the trip runs daily at sunset and offers an easy, social way to experience Alghero’s coastal geology, marine life, and evening light without intensive exertion.
