Devil's Saddle Boat Tour, Aperitif & Violin Serenade

Sailing from Cagliari Port – Discover the City from the Sea: Departing from Cagliari Port, you will experience the city from a completely new perspective. From the sea, admire landmarks such as the Castello, the Basilica of Bonaria, San Michele Hill, and much more. We will sail along the coast at sunset towards the historic district of Sant’Elia, passing the fishermen’s harbor and the Fortino di Sant’Ignazio, perched on the mountain and built in 1792 during the Savoy era. The history of Sant’Elia Hills dates back to the pre-Nuragic period and developed further during the Phoenician and Roman eras, offering a rich glimpse into the past as you enjoy the magical views from the water.

Cala Bernat & Torre del Prezzemolo: We will reach the foot of the Torre del Prezzemolo, built in 1578, and admire the striking karst formations at the base of the mountain, next to the beach. The beach, known as Cala Bernat, can be reached only by sea, making it a truly exclusive and magical spot to enjoy the sunset and the natural beauty of the coast.

Cala Fighera – Swimming and Snorkeling (Weather Permitting): If sea conditions allow, we will stop at Cala Fighera, where those who wish can swim and snorkel. If conditions are not suitable, a stop will be made at one of the best-exposed bays at that time. The waters of Cala Fighera are famous for their remarkable colors, ranging from emerald green to turquoise, creating a truly magical swimming experience.

Passing by the Cave of the Doves and the Pisellino Rock, and skirting the promontory, we arrive at the Gasole Pools, located just below the Sella del Diavolo. The Gasole Pools are a magical corner at the very foot of the majestic Sella del Diavolo, the iconic symbol of Cagliari. You will admire the agaves hanging from the edge of the mountain and the impressive cliff plunging straight into the sea.

Our final stop will be at the Bay of Marina Piccola. We will enjoy a delicious aperitif while a violinist performs live some of the most famous melodies of our collective imagination — Over the Rainbow, Moon River, My Way are just a few of the highlights! The aperitif will be generous and of the highest quality: a selection of cold cuts, cheeses, and typical delicacies prepared by a historic company from Southern Sardinia, with products coming from Monte Linas (Villacidro). To perfectly accompany the tasting board, we will sip a fine Prosecco while the sun sets behind us. A dream come true! Once the music performance and aperitif are over, we will return to the port of Cagliari at the last light of the day. It is often possible to spot dolphins at this magical hour!
