Details

Located off Sardinia’s southwestern coast, Calasetta is the portal to an aquatic playground where history, nature, and sea life converge distinctly. GEST.POR.TUR SRL offers a 4-hour private boat tour—Tour privato di San Pietro: 4 ore di spensieratezza—that plunges visitors deep into the raw coastal beauty of San Pietro Island and Sant'Antioco. This craft is not a mere sightseeing excursion but an intimate maritime journey led by a seasoned skipper who navigates past sheer cliffs, rocky archways, and bays with waters so clear they reveal the seabed below. The tour frequently pauses at secluded coves perfect for swimming, where shards of sunlight fracture through the sea surface, inviting travelers to cool off amid untouched nature.

The boat skirts the rugged limestone formations that characterize this stretch of the Mediterranean. Along the way, local lore comes alive through the skipper’s stories, tying the seascape to its cultural roots, from ancient Phoenician settlers to modern-day fishing traditions. A notable highlight is the chance encounter with dolphins that ride the wake, a reminder of the thriving marine ecosystem just beneath the surface.

Their tours cater to those who want to go beyond crowded beaches and discover Sardinia’s quieter marine face. The pace, the stops, and even the route can adapt to passengers’ interests, making this an ideal choice for families, couples, or those seeking an unhurried yet adventurous voyage.

Whether your draw is azure waters, wildlife encounters, or local cultural connection, this boat tour offers an experiential window into one of Italy’s lesser-trodden coastal treasures. Getting to know San Pietro and Sant'Antioco from the water reveals perspectives on these islands that no land-based tour can replicate.
