Departure from the port of Su Siccu in Cagliari. Follow the directions
Sailing in the Gulf of Cagliari towards Capo Sant’Elia
Stop at Cala Fighera, a small beach stretching between steep cliffs and landslides
Sailing along the famous Sella del Diavolo (Devil’s Saddle), we sail opposite Poetto beach
Return journey to the Port of Su Siccu
*The itinerary may be subject to change, depending on weather conditions. Any changes will be promptly communicated 12 hours before the excursion or at the time of embarkation.
Description
The excursion starts with an educational moment. How to go to sea, safety rules, basic sailing information, activities and behavior on board. Afterwards, Paolo and participants compile the navigation plan together, planning the route according to the weather conditions. The integration between sailors is quick and facilitated by Paolo’s patience, friendliness and competence.
Having left the moorings, Merak will unfurl its sails in the Golfo degli Angeli, skirting the Capo Sant’Elia promontory and its multicolored cliffs until reaching Cala Fighera where, having dropped anchor, one can swim in crystal-clear emerald-green waters.
The Sella del Diavolo (The Devil’s Saddle), which owes its name to an ancient popular legend, is a promontory rich in traces of frequentation since the Neolithic period, with high white cliffs, fragrant Mediterranean scrub, and home to seagulls and cormorants.
Navigation then proceeds towards the Poetto beach. Eight kilometers of beach with fine white sand and crystal-clear, shallow water for tens of meters, ideal for swimming and snorkeling. The navigation is framed by an invigorating dive into the sea, infinitesimal shades of blue separating sea and sky, the chattering of the waves, the circling of seagulls and cormorants, the choreography of flamingos, the leaping of dolphins and sometimes the flight over the waves of Luna Rossa.

Für das Wetter kann Paolo, der sehr nett war, natürlich nichts, wir hätten uns aber gewünscht, eine Stornierung oder zumindest teilweise Rückerstattung angeboten zu bekommen, da die Unternehmung so wirklich wenig mit der Beschreibung zu tun hatte.
It was a great sailing experience in the afternoon with Paolo but unfortunately didn’t get to see dolphins or go to the cove because the waves were a bit rough.... read more We ended up swimming around poetto beach for around 30 mins with drinks and sandwiches.

I have never been on a sailboat so this was a new experience for me. We were able to sail back from Devil’s Saddle with the wind, not the motor, and it was very relaxing.
Highly recommend!
