Unique Perspectives of the Coastline: From a boat, you'll gain breathtaking panoramic views of the entire expanse of Poetto beach, with the urban landscape of Cagliari and Quartu S. Elena in the background. Crucially, you'll also get a spectacular view of the iconic Sella del Diavolo (Devil's Saddle) promontory from the sea – a perspective you simply can't get from the land.
Cagliari's iconic Sella del Diavolo (Devil's Saddle) is famed for its unique silhouette and legendary history. This striking Cape S. Elia landmark overlooks Marina Piccola and the Gulf of Angels, bordering Poetto beach, with sandy coves nestled at its base.
Historically strategic, its summit holds Roman traces and a 16th-century Aragonese tower. Its towering cliffs reveal a turbulent, landslide-prone geology, while the distinctive saddle shape is tied to legends of its origin and name.
A beloved spot for hikers and nature lovers, Sella del Diavolo offers breathtaking panoramic views over the Gulf of Angels, promising an unforgettable blend of rich history, legend, and stunning natural beauty.

Shaped over millennia, the bay's unique rock formations fascinate geologists globally, with some cliffs holding ancient marine fossils that enrich its natural history.
Though compact, Cala Fighera is popular with locals and tourists. Its sheltered, calm waters are perfect for relaxing beach days or sunset picnics, while thrill-seekers find challenging climbs on its steep rock faces.
Discover Hidden Coves and Sea Caves: The coastline around Calamosca and Capo S. Elia is characterized by limestone cliffs and rocky formations. A boat tour gives you the unique opportunity to discover secluded coves, small sea caves, and fascinating rock structures that are often inaccessible from land. You can get right up close to these natural wonders.
Intimate Views of the Rugged Shoreline: From a boat, you can appreciate the detailed texture, colors, and sheer scale of the rocky cliffs plunging into the sea. This offers a much more immersive and dramatic perspective of the coastline's natural beauty than you'd get from the beach itself.
Access Prime Snorkeling Spots: Rocky coastlines typically create clear waters and interesting underwater habitats. A boat can take you to the best spots along these rugged shores for swimming and snorkeling, allowing you to explore the marine life among the rocks in clearer, less disturbed waters.
Tucked away near the historic Sant'Elia Lighthouse, Cala Bernat is a delightful small bay, a hidden gem best savored from the sea. Its true charm lies in its intimate scale and the wonderful sense of seclusion it offers, an experience greatly enhanced when you arrive by boat.
What makes Cala Bernat particularly appealing for a boat tour is how this mode of access unlocks its more private character. Approaching this compact cove by water is often the ideal way to reach its most tranquil points, allowing you to bypass more common routes and glide directly into a more personal haven.
Imagine dropping anchor in this secluded spot, surrounded by a picturesque, rocky coastline. Your boat becomes your private platform for a quiet swim in clear waters or simply to bask in the peaceful atmosphere, away from busier areas. It’s this feeling of discovering a more exclusive and serene corner of the coast, easily reached by boat, that makes Cala Bernat a memorable part of a maritime adventure.
