Alma Sailing · Su Siccu, Lungomare New York
Alma Sailing's 3-hour catamaran trip from the Portus Karalis marina at Su Siccu, out to the Devil's Saddle with 12 guests at most. Pick it for comfort: space to lie down on deck, a WC on board and a hot shower after you swim.
You board at Lungomare New York 11 Settembre 327, in the Portus Karalis marina at Su Siccu, the tourist port in the centre of Cagliari. The listing says it is easy to reach on foot from the cruise terminal, and from Via Roma it is a straight walk east along the waterfront. You spend about 3 hours on the water.
The catamaran takes 12 guests at most, with a crew trained in first aid and a defibrillator on board. It sails towards the Devil's Saddle, where white cliffs drop into turquoise water, and stops in coves you can only reach by sea. Swimming on the beaches or at the foot of the cliffs is banned by law because of the risk of rockfall, per the listing, so you swim from the boat with a mask, snorkel and floats, then rinse off under a hot fresh-water shower. A bilingual guide tells the legends of the coast, and at the last stop the crew pours a glass of prosecco to toast together.
Included: the guide, the snorkel gear and floats, fuel, the WC and the shower. Not included: soft drinks and snacks, which are for sale on board, and seasickness tablets. The cabin belongs to the crew, who live on board; ask them if you need to change or use the toilet. A friendly tip: shoes are not allowed on deck, so wear sandals you can slip off, and pack biodegradable sunscreen as the listing asks.
