Navigation

After checking in, we’ll board the dinghy and set off from Portisco Marina to explore the Costa Smeralda.

As you sail, you’ll be able to admire a succession of sheltered bays, white sandy beaches, granite headlands and waters in rich shades of turquoise. The coastal landscape will accompany you throughout the journey, offering a unique view of one of Sardinia’s most enchanting stretches of coastline.

Liscia Ruja

Liscia Ruja is one of the best-known beaches on the Costa Smeralda. Its long stretch of sand, surrounded by Mediterranean scrub, overlooks a crystal-clear sea rich in hues. Seen from a rubber dinghy, the bay reveals the full beauty of its landscape: pale sand, crystal-clear waters and a coastline still dominated by nature. Depending on the conditions on the day, you can stop in its waters for a pleasant swim.

Cala di Volpe

Cala di Volpe is an elegant, sheltered bay, characterised by calm waters and a particularly picturesque coastal landscape. As you sail along, you can admire the small coves that line the bay and the contrast between the green of the Mediterranean vegetation and the blue of the sea. It is one of the Costa Smeralda’s most iconic spots and an ideal place to explore from the water.

Romazzino

The Romazzino area is known for its secluded beaches, wind-sculpted granite rocks and the sea’s vibrant colours. Sailing along this stretch of coastline, you’ll come across coves and sheltered spots that are often difficult to fully appreciate from the mainland. When conditions allow, the skipper may choose one of the coves in the area for a stop to swim and relax.

Prince’s Beach

Spiaggia del Principe is considered one of the most iconic beaches on the Costa Smeralda. It is framed by Mediterranean vegetation and granite rocks that divide the sandy shore into small natural coves. From the sea, you can admire the beach’s distinctive shape and the extraordinary clarity of the water. The light-coloured seabed creates shades ranging from blue to emerald green, making this stretch of coastline one of the most spectacular highlights of the excursion.
