Amazing Boat Trip with Captain Manuel - Our boat trip with Captain Manuel was an incredible experience. We felt completely safe under his guidance and his fun personality made the day even better. We made several stops to swim and he gave us plenty of time to enjoy each location. He let us set the pace and decide we are ready to move on. Manuel is outgoing and friendly. Nature made the trip so enjoyable. The highlight of the day was when we took extra time in the bay so we could watch a part of dolphins. It was truly an unforgettable site. This is one of the best boat excursions we’ve been on, and we wouldn’t hesitate to take it again.

The most amazing trip with Captain Manuel - Our boat trip with Captain Manuel was an incredible experience.

He let us set the pace and decide when we were ready to move on.
Manuel's outgoing and friendly nature made the trip so enjoyable. The highlight of the day was when he took extra time in the bay so we could watch a pod of dolphins. It was truly an unforgettable sight.
This was one of the best boat excursions we've ever been on, and we wouldn't hesitate to take it again.

Snorkel to "Personal" Caves - This trip would have been a lot more fun if the sun stayed out. The water was warm when the sun came out, but as soon as it was gone it was very chilly, but I got in the water anyway because I thought, Hey, when will I be back here again? My daughter and husband got in with me for the first cave when we had sun, but it was too cold for them for the last two caves. Swimming to the small caves and enjoying the sea life snorkeling in the Mediterranean Sea was definitely a fun trip. Please note there these are small caves just enough for one person not like you would imagine a big secret cave. But still fun anyway.

Sailing in Cagliari - We were so fortunate to get a wonderful weather and great sea conditions! We were able to hit all our planned stops. The boat was clean and not crowded, I believe the capacity was 12 and we were 9 adults. The meeting location was very easy to find. We enjoyed our tour guide, she was knowledgeable and made our tour pretty interesting!

Amazing time! - We had an amazing time! Antonio was a great host and very knowledgeable about the history of island. Would highly recommend this tour. Would suggest doing the morning time as the wind can pick up later in the day.

Great hosts, standard trip - It’s important to get out on a boat while visiting Cagliari, and the skippers on this boat were very friendly, knowledgeable, and helpful. We had a good time. In general, all the boats go to the same four stops, but it was not overly crowded, but also didn’t feel particularly special. The water and island are beautiful, but the snorkeling is lackluster. The equipment is very used. It’s worth the trip and our lovely skippers made it fun. I assume every boat trip is very similar, so choose this one for the great skippers.

Bad weather conditions handled badly by company & lost deposit - The day we had the trip booked was extremely windy - and had severe wind and weather warnings. We showed up to go on the boat, however the captain of the boat advised us against going out because of the rough weather conditions, and in fact got in such a big argument with the owner over it, he quit the job because he felt so strongly that people shouldn't be going on the boat in such conditions. I trusted the captain because it was clearly not good conditions to go out to sea. The owner then took over and basically was gas-lighting us telling us the conditions weren't that bad, and the tour would not be cancelled, and if we did not want to go out then it would be on us, and the deposit would be lost. My group of friends made the decision not to go because it would not be enjoyable in such conditions, and as such lost our deposit. It's unfortunate it turned out like this, but the whole thing could've been handled better by the company.
