Sailing from Cala Gonone ranks among Sardinia’s most rewarding maritime experiences.
The Gulf of Orosei‘s limestone coast reveals pristine beaches and hidden grottos only accessible by boat. Motor yacht tours, typically 6-8 hours, provide the most comprehensive coastal access, while the traditional Dovesesto sailing ship offers an authentic Mediterranean experience.
We especially like the small-group coastal trips for their intimate atmosphere and ability to access narrow coves that larger boats can’t reach. Private charters, though pricier, allow flexibility to explore gems like Cala Luna and Cala Sisine at your own pace.
Let’s explore the best boat tours available in Cala Gonone.
