Coral Sail Alghero – Controluce II 

Set sail from Alghero aboard Controluce II, a classic Jeanneau sloop, for a day you'll be talking about long after you're back on dry land. Skippered by Stefania,  Alghero-born and raised, and genuinely in love with this stretch of coast, this trip takes you into the heart of the Capo Caccia Marine Protected Area, one of the few stretches of water where boats are even allowed to go.

Expect the coastline to steal the show: dramatic limestone cliffs, water that shifts from deep blue to turquoise, and more than a few dolphin sightings along the way. We'll drop anchor in secluded coves for swimming, snorkeling, and paddleboarding (gear's on board, no need to bring your own), then slow things right down for a proper Sardinian lunch made with local ingredients, plus a sunset aperitivo if the timing's right.

Below deck, Controluce II sleeps up to six across three real cabins, a forward cabin plus two aft doubles, so if you're looking at longer stays or just want to see the boat itself, there's genuine space here, not just a cockpit and a smile. She's a comfortable, easy-moving boat under sail and just as steady under engine, which makes for a relaxed ride even if conditions pick up.

Whether you're after a lively group day out or a quieter escape with people you love, this is Alghero the way locals actually experience it, unhurried, sociable, and built around good food and good water.

Dogs are welcome aboard too, so no need to leave the four-legged crew behind.
