Itinerary
We will sail near the Siola di Figarolo, in front of Cala Moresca, in search of dolphins that often swim in this stretch of sea in search of food. We will take a bath in the splendid waters of Cala Moresca
We will then continue to Tavolara, where we will stop for just over an hour to swim in turquoise water and visit the island and its beaches, where you will be enchanted by discovering the stories linked to the "King of Tavolara". Tavolara is an island that emerges from the sea like a granite colossus dotted with Mediterranean greenery that gives its name to the marine protected area around it. The island is known as the smallest kingdom in the world. Tavolara is a limestone and granite mountain that emerges from the sea, 560 meters high, four kilometers long, characterized by impervious rocks, by the imposing and dizzying verticality and by the splendid chromatic tones: the green of juniper, rosemary and mastic, combined with the light blue, blue and emerald green of the surrounding waters. Here you can swim, snorkel and enjoy an excellent aperitif with typical Sardinian products washed down with excellent typical Sardinian Vermentino wine.
You will then sail to Molara, making another stop for swimming and lunch in the splendid area of the "Molara swimming pools ”, where we will have lunch floating on a turquoise sea, a stretch of sea between the island and the coast where the turquoise colour of the water and its transparency will take your breath away and amaze you.
On the return sail, weather permitting, the captain will choose another cove for a last swim, choosing between the wonderful bays of Porto Istana, Cala Girgolu, the three sisters of Capo Ceraso or Cala Moresca: the choice will be up to the skipper depending on the wind of the day. The relaxing return sail will be dedicated to the search for dolphins that often come to visit us in this area: it is not guaranteed! .... they are free ... and we want them that way! ...

Traveler reviews
Beautiful day on the water!
Great day on the water with our family (two kids; 4 and 6). Lovely, spacious boat. Roberto sailed us calmly and safely everywhere, and Silvia was a welcoming hostess who shared some information about the surroundings. Plenty of food and drinks, and beautiful spots for swimming. We had a really wonderful day and would definitely recommend it to friends!
Fun day of pure relaxation
Beautiful day with Roberto and Silvia between the islands of Tavolara and Molara... they delighted both the palate and the eyes... crew always ready to make us miss nothing... even the sighting of dolphins!!
A sea like you have never seen
From start to finish it was a truly exhilarating and Italian experience My wife was worried about getting seaside but Roberto was truly a professional ensuring everyone’s safety and comfort and enjoyable experience The day seemed to fly by and food and drink was exquisite and authentic Highly Recommend this experience
Lovely experience
It was a wonderful day spent on the boat, friendly and helpful crew. Definitely worth taking this experience for a relaxing day. We booked it last moment but confirmation and details were received promply
A journey that remains in the heart
A wonderful tour from all points of view. Good food, super prepared crew but above all many baths in these crystal clear waters. Roberto is a superfine cook and Silvia very nice and very prepared. Departure from Golfo Aranci at 9:30 am and return by 6 pm. Tavolara and Molta remain in the heart
