Blue Rent · Via S. Caboto, Marina Piccola
A 4-hour self-drive rental from Blue Rent at Marina Piccola, priced per boat for up to 5 people. Pick it when you want to choose the coves and the time at each yourselves: Calamosca, Cala Fighera, Cala Paradiso and Poetto are all within reach.
You pick up the boat from Blue Rent on Via S. Caboto at Marina Piccola, the small harbor at the Poetto end of the Devil's Saddle, a bus or taxi ride from the centre. The listing sets the meeting at the dock at 9:00 for the paperwork and a short briefing on the safety equipment and the navigation rules. The page describes an inflatable boat for half a day, and the price covers the boat, not each person: up to 5 of you share it.
From the marina you round the Devil's Saddle. The listing suggests four stops: Calamosca, a sand and pebble beach about 4 km from the centre (Sardegna Turismo), Cala Fighera under the cliffs, Cala Paradiso for the colours of the water, and Poetto, the city's long beach. You decide the order and how long you stay. Guests write about sea caves along the way and staff who check in on WhatsApp during the morning.
On the water: 4 hours, your own stops, then back to the dock, where the staff help you moor. Included: the rental, a short briefing, insurance, a sun cover, a clean boat and round-the-clock assistance. Not included: fuel, water and food. A EUR 250 cash deposit is required, and the fuel you use is taken from it when you return. Drivers must be 18 or over. Pack drinks, snacks, a towel and goggles; alcohol is not allowed on board.
Sign the documents, get the briefing on the safety equipment and the navigation rules, and leave the EUR 250 cash deposit.
Out of Marina Piccola and along the white cliffs of the Sella del Diavolo.
Anchor for a swim in the coves under Capo Sant'Elia.
Clear water for a snorkel, then the long beach on the way back.
The staff help you moor. The fuel is taken from your deposit and the rest is returned.
★★★★★Would definitely recommend for anyone staying in Cagliari. It was a highlight of our stay there. Beautiful beaches, sea caves and places to see along the way. Matteo was amazing, such great service, guidance, he even checked on us on whats app to make sure we are okay during the trip. The boat was very comfortable [...]
★★★★★We had an amazing time visiting the various bays around Cagliari. The boat was great and Riccardo was a great showing us everything we needed to know and stayed in contact the whole time. We'd definitely do this again any time we are back.
★★★★★We had the best time on the boat last Sunday! Ricardo was super helpful and kind, and explained everything we needed to know beforehand. We were also in touch throughout the day, and he made sure everything went smoothly. We highly, highly recommend this experience, such a great program and amazing value for money! Would definitely do it again.
★★★★★We had a fantastic day renting a boat from these guys! Super easy communication, the boat was great and perfect for the two of us. Definitely recommend!
