Explore the Capo Carbonara Marine Protected Area on Our Boat Tours
There’s a way to discover the Capo Carbonara Marine Protected Area that no walk along the shore can ever give you: setting off from the sea, sailing towards coves only reachable by water, and letting yourself be surprised by a landscape that changes with every mile. Our boat tours take you to the heart of Capo Carbonara — one of the richest and best-preserved marine ecosystems in all of Sardinia. Small groups, crystal-clear waters, protected seabeds and breathtaking scenery: an authentic experience, far from mass tourism.
Choose Your Experience in the Marine Protected Area
Everyone has their own way of experiencing the sea. Some want to explore, some simply want to stop and breathe, some are chasing the magic of a sunset over the water. Our tours are built around exactly this: giving you the freedom to choose the experience that feels right for you, setting off from Villasimius harbour towards the protected waters of Capo Carbonara.
What every tour has in common is the promise of taking you to places you could hardly reach on foot — quiet coves, seabeds teeming with marine life, views that stay with you long after you’ve left. Browse our tours and find the one that’s right for you.
Tour 1
Mini Yacht Day Trip from Villasimius
Discovering the Marine Protected Area. An exclusive adventure among hidden coves, crystal-clear waters and on-board relaxation.
Some corners of the Capo Carbonara Marine Protected Area can only be discovered this way: from the sea, aboard a boat that takes you where no trail ever could. Our Mini Yacht tour departs every morning at 10:30 from Villasimius harbour and immerses you in one of the most precious natural environments in all of Sardinia.
Seabeds that shift in colour, coves only reachable by sea, waters so clear you can see the bottom even at depth — all of this is waiting for you just minutes from the shore. You’ll be sailing inside a protected area where marine life is still untouched, among colourful fish, posidonia meadows and stretches of wild coastline that few ever get to see this close. The comfort on board, the relaxed pace between each stop and an authentic taste of Sardinian tradition complete an experience that is worth so much more than a day on the beach.

Tour 2
Mini Yacht Sunset Evening Trip from Villasimius
The day's light fading over the Marine Protected Area, seen from the sea. There are few things more beautiful than this.
As the sun begins to set over the Capo Carbonara Marine Protected Area, the sea transforms. The colours grow warmer, the water reflects shades of gold and orange, and everything slows down in a way that only the sea knows how to do. Our Mini Yacht evening tour is built around this very moment — and departs every evening at 5:30 pm from Villasimius harbour to let you live it from a perspective like no other.
You’ll sail among the most breathtaking coves of the Marine Protected Area, stopping in quiet corners that by day belong to the tourist rush and by evening rediscover their most authentic soul. The protected waters of Capo Carbonara, in these hours of low, raking light, reveal shades you won’t easily forget. A dip in the still-warm water, a glass of sparkling wine as the sun touches the horizon, a carefully prepared aperitif and the right music playing in the background. Romantic if you want it to be, convivial if you’d rather share it with the people you love. Either way, hard to forget.
