About this experience

Set sail from the Port of Cagliari aboard Merope, a comfortable 14-meter Bavaria 46 Cruiser, and discover southern Sardinia from the sea. Cruise across the Gulf of Angels, enjoying open views and the fresh Mediterranean breeze.

The route follows some of Cagliari’s most scenic coastline, passing Cala Bernat, Cala Mosca, and Cala Fighera before reaching the iconic Sella del Diavolo. Here we stop for the first swim and snorkeling break in clear waters, while a welcome aperitif with local products and Sardinian wine is served on board.

The tour continues to Cala Regina, a quiet bay ideal for a second swim, and then to Mari Pintau, famous for its vivid colors. This will be the longest stop of the day, with time to snorkel above the submerged anchor.

While anchored, enjoy a freshly prepared Sardinian lunch on board, followed by traditional sweets and coffee. In the afternoon, we sail back toward Cagliari, relaxing on deck and enjoying the final moments at sea.
