About this experience

The tour will take place on board a truly unique boat in the world: an authentic 1962 tugboat, entirely restored with craftsmanship and transformed into an elegant boat.

This historic naval unit, once used in Italian ports for towing and servicing large ships, is now relived in a new look, combining the charm of the past with modern comfort. Every detail has been preserved or reinterpreted with style: the original wood, brass finishes, robust and timeless lines tell stories of the sea, while the large and refined spaces guarantee a comfortable and relaxing sailing experience.

Sailing aboard this tugboat is an exclusive and authentic experience. It is a different, more intimate and fascinating way to discover the wonders of the Sardinian coast, accompanied by the slow rhythm of the sea and the timeless charm of a boat that has a soul.

Detailed itinerary

We will sail between Cala Moresca and the island of Figarolo in search of dolphins swimming in this area in search of food.

We will sail to the island of Tavolara, rich in history and legends, where we will stop for just over an hour. You will have time to dive into its crystal clear waters, perfect for a refreshing bath or a bit of snorkeling. You will also have the opportunity to explore its enchanting beaches, where unspoilt nature blends with fascinating historical tales, such as that of the famous “King of Tavolara”.

During the stop there will be a tasty aperitif with typical Sardinian products, accompanied by a glass of prosecco.

We will continue our route with the tug Lupo towards the island of Molara, where we will make a new stop dedicated to relaxation, diving and the beauty of the sea. We will reach the famous Piscine di Molara, a corner of paradise where the water takes on shades of bright turquoise and a transparency so extraordinary that it leaves you breathless.

In this stretch of sea, the environment is perfect for a regenerating swim and to fully enjoy the magic of the place. Here you can also enjoy an unforgettable lunch of fresh fish directly on the water, floating between the reflections of the sun and the crystal blue sea.

Before returning if weather conditions permit, the commander will choose one of the beautiful coves along the coast to give you one last dip in beauty. It could be the turquoise waters of Porto Istana, the suggestive coves of Cala Girgolu, the enchanting Three Sisters of Capo Ceraso... The choice will be entrusted to the experience of the skipper, who will evaluate the wind and the conditions of the moment to offer you the best.

At the back we will keep our eyes open in search of dolphins, which often peep out, giving unique emotions. We cannot promise their arrival but when they show up, the moment is truly magical.
