Boat excursions in Alghero with snorkeling and lunch on board

There is no point beating around the bush: boat excursions in Alghero are the best way to experience the sea and discover the beauty of the Coral Riviera. Taking to the sea is indeed the only way to treat yourself to a day of sun, relaxation, and diving into the most crystalline water you have ever seen, while simultaneously enjoying the comfort of a tour organized by those who know the area and your needs well. Our excursions on a 14-meter motorboat for only 16 guests are designed specifically for you, seeking the right balance between navigation, tranquility, fun, comfort, and safety. In short, it is not the usual group boat trip, but a superior level experience that allows you to move around on board in complete peace and enjoy your day with maximum freedom.

Boat excursions in Alghero: discovering the coast in total relaxation

The Coral Riviera is one of a kind, and when you admire it from the sea, it is even more surprising. Sailing along the coast, it is possible to glimpse every single detail of the landscape, from the sheer cliffs overlooking the sea to the sandy coves hidden by rocks, from the intense blue of the sea to the green of the Mediterranean scrub that grows even in the most inaccessible places. Booking a boat excursion in Alghero is the only way to treat yourself to all of this: a day different from the usual, discovering a stretch of sea that everyone envies for its evocative beauty and the wonders hidden in its depths. And yes, if you are lucky, you can also admire the dolphins, which usually cannot wait for a boat to arrive so they can jump in front of the bow!

Boat tour in Alghero including Porto Conte, Capo Caccia, and Grotta dei Palombi

We know the area well, so for our boat excursions from Alghero, we have planned a route that touches all the most beautiful points of the coast. In 7 hours, we will discover various spots of the Coral Riviera, starting with Capo Galera, where we will stop for snorkeling and to admire curious rock formations, strikingly colored fish, placid and fascinating starfish, and mother-of-pearl shells. Once dry, we will continue to the Grotta dei Palombi, which we will not just look at from the sea because we will enter it. Where large boats, catamarans, and sailing boats are forced to stop due to space or height limits, we are the only ones able to proceed. Thanks to the size and agility of our hull, we will take you right into the heart of the cave: an experience precluded to any other vessel in the area. Finally, once we reach the Porto Conte Natural Park, we will stop for another break for swimming and snorkeling, before resuming navigation towards the port of embarkation. The boat tour in Alghero and its surroundings will then be over, but you will take with you the memory of an exclusive and unforgettable experience.

Boat trips in Alghero: more space, more comfort

Forget the crowds. Imagine 14 meters of freedom dedicated to only 16 guests: space to move, breathe, and find your own rhythm. The sea has always been our home, and we know that true luxury today is silence. No crowds, just the sound of the waves and that feeling of exclusive privacy that transforms a simple tour into an indelible memory.

Snorkeling and lunch on board: our boat excursion from Alghero

If you are looking for an experience that combines sea, relaxation, and comfort, our boat excursions from Alghero with lunch included are designed specifically for this. The day includes moments of navigation, stops for swimming and snorkeling, and a lunch break on board that allows you to experience the tour without haste or worries. Snorkeling in one of the most beautiful seas in the world is certainly one of the highlights of the experience, so much so that we enhance this moment by offering the presence of certified instructors, ready to tell you everything interesting to know about the marine flora and fauna encountered along the way. For the aperitif and lunch moments, we offer you the best gastronomic specialties of the area and all the shade you desire to peacefully enjoy the island’s delicacies. Because it is not always considered, but alternating sun with moments of relaxation in the shade always makes a big difference.

Our reviews

Ares provided the BEST experience for our day at sea, departing from Alghero! Our group was large enough for an exclusive trip and we enjoyed every minute. The captain and his mate were careful of the environment and taught us a lot. We saw dolphins, snorkeled three times and saw a beautiful cave. We had delicious hot food including pasta and mussels, dessert, and good snacks and drinks. We ranged in age from five to 70ish and everyone just loved it!

I’m not the type of person to do a review but after the experience and treatment from this company i definitely felt like letting everyone else know what a great company this is. They are very responsive and super friendly. Andrea himself is a super friendly guy who will go out of his way to make sure you have a great day. This is the only boat company I’d want to rent here in Alghero, they have gorgeous boats for a great price compared to the other companies, if you want someone who makes you feel welcome from the first interaction and a beautiful boat day I will always and only recommend Ares everytime.
