Morning is the best time to fully appreciate the crystal-clear waters surrounding the Sulcis Archipelago. We have selected a range of itineraries that, with just a few hours of sailing, allow you to visit the most famous spots on the islands of San Pietro and Sant’Antioco. Each of these tours will leave you with unforgettable memories, and we are certain that images of these beaches, cliffs and clear waters will stay with you for a lifetime. Some itineraries include stops only along the Carloforte coastline (San Pietro Island), others focus on the Calasetta coast (Sant’Antioco Island), while some combine both. Everything depends on weather conditions: sea and wind influence our navigation, and the skipper—drawing on over thirty years of experience along these routes—will choose the most suitable excursion to ensure maximum comfort on board. On San Pietro Island, possible stops include, to the northeast, the shallow waters of Isola Piana, near the famous Carloforte tuna fishery. Here the boat anchors over a sandy, shallow seabed, perfect for exploring with mask and snorkel. To the west, the beaches of Giunco and Guidi offer wide stretches of crystal-clear turquoise water, with countless opportunities for swimming stops. Lucchese (Lûcaise in the local Tabarchino dialect) is one of our absolute favourite destinations. In a wide bay with depths of less than two metres, an expanse of sea opens up that is ideal for unforgettable swims. You’ll be surrounded by schools of fish—such as saddled seabream and damselfish—and the unmissable sea caves carved into the white cliffs can be reached with just a short swim. La Bobba, Carloforte’s most famous beach, is a gem nestled between two large rocky arms covered in Mediterranean scrub. It is one of the best spots both for snorkeling and for enjoying a refreshing aperitif served on board by the skipper. The natural monument Le Colonne is also worth at least a photo stop: two ignimbrite sea stacks rising up to 16 metres above the water. In 2013, the smaller one collapsed during a storm, and only its base remains visible. The final stop on San Pietro is the Mezzaluna cliff, imposing at around 20 metres high. The boat sails close along the coast before stopping in front of the famous caves known as the Mezzaluna caves, which, according to old fishermen’s tales, were once frequented by monk seals. On Sant’Antioco Island, the first stop is Sottotorre. This beautiful beach, very close to the town of Calasetta, takes its name from the 18th-century Savoyard tower that has watched over the coast for centuries, originally serving to spot Barbary pirates. Further west lies La Salina beach, named after the shallow saltwater lagoon that stretches behind it. The seabed just offshore is sandy and shallow—ideal for a swimming stop.
