This is a must do if anywhere near Cala Gonone! Here you can rent a dinghy boat for the day (without needing a boating license) and take yourself around various beaches that are ONLY accessible by boat and in and out of cool little grottos. Lino, the man that works here is very kind and clearly explains everything in the office and then his team members who help you onto the boat clearly explain everything there as well. The water here is unbelievably clear and gorgeous - we enjoyed being out in the deep blue part on our own and jumping in the water just as much as getting close to the shore line where the water is more turquoise. Online, their website says from 70 euro/day, but Lino explained that this is only in off season. In August, apparently it's 250 euros/day, but we didn't show up until almost noon so he gave it to us for the rest of the day (til 6pm) for 150 euros. When you come back, you pay for the gas needed to refill - for us this was 25 euros. And expect a long line at 6pmish (though the company will help you with this part).
They offer you an umbrella and a cooler, so bring ice and drinks/snacks. Boat has a shade and also places to store things that need to stay dry. An amazing day in Sardinia! read more
