RENT A BOAT FOR ONE DAY

Choose the perfect boat to rent for just one day

Tips to discover the north-eastern part of Sardinia with a Day Cruiser, a motorboat, a catamaran or a dinghy for rent in just one day

Besides the many and charming isles in the Maddalena Archipelago, don’t forget Palau: a town between Costa Smeralda and Santa Teresa di Gallura, another destination that can be reached from our base in Cannigione with one of our day rental boats. For this type of destination it is often preferable to rent a dinghy, to allow you to reach even the most secluded beaches and bays. 

Palau is right in front of the Maddalena Archipelago and, with its world-known beaches like Porto Pollo and isola dei Gabbiani, its coast is characterized by hidden bays and the iconic granite rocks sculpted by wind erosion; truly a perfect destination for a day boat rental.

Exactly in Gallura you’ll find one of Sardinia’s most famous destinations, Costa Smeralda, which isn’t a mere synonym and symbol for nightlife and clubbing. Situated near Olbia, it has dream-like beaches, bays and calette that can be discovered on a rented boat in one day. In your ideal one-day itinerary of costa Smeralda you can’t forget to visit first the small harbor in Poltu Quatu, Capo Ferro and Liscia di Vacca, then the white beaches around Arzachena like Liscia Ruja and Cala di Volpe. 

The one-day tour with a rental boat can continue with a visit to Capriccioli and Principe, beaches surrounded by the pineta, pinewood, and maquis shrubland (the famous Mediterranean macchia): a scrubland biome typical of Mediterranean countries that engulfs an impalpable white beach, turquoise clear sea and pink-like rocks. Gazing at this landscape from the sea is an appealing and evocative experience, renting a boat to discover these kind of places will allow you to do so at your own pace. Dive in the crystal clear sea of Sardinia from your Day Cruiser, a rental motorboat, and discover the most secluded and less crowded beaches to experience a more relaxed and chill Sardinia.

Near Olbia and Costa Smeralda, with a catamaran for rent or a motorboat you can reach the coast between Porta Istana and Capo Coda Cavallo, inside the marine protected area of Tavolara. Stop and enjoy a swim in the Piscine Naturali di Molara (Natural Pools of Molara) and their many shades of blue. 

The Golfo di Orosei (Orosei Gulf) is surely less known than other places in Sardinia, but just as fascinating (if not more!). This western coastline counts many caves, bays with crystal clear water and instagram-worthy beaches, among them Cala Gonone and spiaggia Cala Mariolu, difficult to reach by land, which makes it a great destination to reach with your rental day cruiser, be it a dinghy or a motorboat for rent. 

On the Orosei Gulf and easy to reach from the sea, Cala Goloritzè, Unesco world heritage site, and Cala Luna, “Elune” for the people from Sardinia: a long strip of white sand with clear waters. Reaching it by sea will allow you to enjoy a fantastic landscape, seeing the many caves of this area of Sardinia, like the Grotta del Bue Marino, and discover the many hidden gems to enjoy a more secluded part of Sardinia for a couple of hours.

Along this coast of the Gulf of Orosei with a boat rented for one day, after passing Cala Gonone, you can reach a truly exciting location on the Baunei Coast (Ogliastra), Venus’s Pools (le piscine di Venere). A paradise-like bay, well protected from the wind with crystal clear, deep turquoise, water where you’ll just want to dive!

Itineraries in the north-western part of Sardinia 

A whole day with a rental boat could lead you to the Asinara national park, a marine protected area with an emerald sea. The north-western part of Sardinia is particularly beautiful and the Isle of Asinara has a landscape unlike any others you’ll see here. 

One-day itineraries with a motor boat for rent in south-eastern Sardinia

In the south-eastern area of Sardinia, not too far from its main town of Cagliari, there’s Villasimius, the Pearl of the South, with the marvelous Punta Molentis, Porto Giunco and the marine protected area of Capo Carbonara.

A perfect destination to relax while sailing on a power catamaran and discover the many bays with white beaches between granite rocks. Gaze at the tower of Capo Giunco from the sea while sipping an aperitif on board; an image of this vacation that you’ll never forget. Or enjoy an afternoon of snorkeling and diving, looking for colorful, curious fishes on your catamaran for rent, like our Aurea 30, available in Free-Charter’s base of Cagliari. Venture as far as the Isles of Cavoli and Serpentara, whose rocks look like a snake, to dive in the natural pools created by the Variglioni, in the northern part of this little isle.

What to see in one day with a rented boat in the southern part of Sardinia

From Cagliari, the perfect itinerary would lead you to Baia Chia, Capo Spartivento and Tuarredda, one of the most evocative beaches in southern Sardinia. Dive in the crystal clear sea of the bay around the small isle and then head to Teulada Gulf and enjoy the last moments on board of your rented boat, relax, maybe take another swim before heading back.

Rent a boat for one day and discover the south-western part of Sardinia 

Dominating the landscape of this part of Sardinia, the Isle of San Pietro with Carloforte and its world-known sandy or rocky beaches. Here the Ligurian influence is still strong (language and culture are in fact still intact). Seeing the coast of the isle with its cliffs and many caves that can’t be reached by land from the deck of your rental boat is a truly exciting experience. Near Carloforte there’s the volcanic isle of Sant’Antioco, the isle within the island. The coastline is high and jagged, with dark cliffs, perfect for snorkeling and diving. Imagine sailing along this coast, enjoying Sardinia’s southern jewels on a rental boat for one day, an unforgettable experience for your vacation in the Sardinian Sea. 

Sant’Antioco has many bays (cale) and famous beaches with a mesmerizing seabed. Enjoy the many secluded bays, hard to reach by land, hidden from the eyes of most tourists. To discover the many caves and beaches of this area a dinghy for rent is a perfect solution, but if you’re dreaming of sipping Cannonau or a tasty aperitif while gazing at the coastline, choose a power catamaran to live an unforgettable day on the sea.

A trip at sundown at the Arco dei Baci (Kisses’ Arch), in Is Preneddas, an evocative place where you’ll get the chance to take wonderful pictures for your Instagram feed with a natural pool 5 meters deep, perfect for diving and snorkeling; a dive in Cala Sapone, with its little bays and rocky beaches; a spectacular view on the sandy beaches of Maladroxia o Coaquaddus… With a motorboat for rent you can enjoy an exciting day in the sea of Sardinia, without sacrificing peace, relax and style!
