What To Expect
It will be a relaxing sailing experience in the Gulf of Cagliari. After a briefing during which I will explain some basic rules and the best behavior to keep on board, we will organize everything to start our navigation, according to the direction and intensity of the wind. I will suggest to sail towards the Sella del Diavolo, so called because even the demons were struck by the beauty of this gulf! We will then sail towards Poetto beach, and if the sea and wind conditions allow it, it will be possible to swim and snorkel in the crystal clear waters that characterize the area. During sailing, you will be instructed on the basic principles of sailing, on how a sailboat works and on the function and use of different maneuvers; you will be invited to take an active part in the conduct of the boat (sails adjustment, turns, jibes, helm) and moreover you will admire breathtaking landscapes. If we are lucky, the dolphins will follow us during the navigation!

5.00Paolo is a wonderful person who knows how to explain things in a clear fantastic engaging way. He knows a lot about sailing, Cagilari, and Italy. It was a joy to be on his boat, learn about sailing and meet another wonderful family. It was also very nice to swim in the crystal blue waters.

5.00Ok.. Did not expect this at all.. Was met with the most friendly captain-heart doctor you can imagine. I had an amazing sail-trip in a beautiful well-kept boat to an area with crystal clear water... but best of all was talking to Paulo. Super interesting - curious guy who just made my day! Grazzie:)

5.00Paolo is very nice and the trip was so beautiful. Paolo takes time to explain the history of landscapes and how to sail. He is very funny and he prepared sandwiches and drinks for us. There was masks to swim and a case for taking photos undersea. I highly recommand this escapade.

5.00My fiancé and I 10/10 would recommend sailing with Paolo! It was raining the morning of our trip but we were unable to reschedule because it was our last day in Sardinia. Even though everyone else in our group had rescheduled, Paolo still took the two of us out for an adventure. We both learned about the art and science of sailing and the history of Sardinia. Even though it was chilly and raining, we had a truly unforgettable and magical time diving off the boat into the turquoise water and snacking on sandwiches in our towels. Paolo gave us local recommendations for a winery and restaurant that were helpful and memorable. We truly couldn’t have asked for a better experience considering the weather. We got so much more than we paid for!

5.00Perfect Blend of Adventure and Relaxation Yacht ride surpassed all my expectations. Paolo provided excellent directions for the meet-up, ensured punctuality, and shared valuable knowledge about sailing as well as life in Sardinia. The trip offered a great atmosphere to make friends, spectacular views, and there is a chance to spot dolphins (unfortunately we didn't see). The overall vibes were incredibly chill and filled with positive energy. And panini were super tasty. Highly recommended and will go again!
Must do in Cagliari
