Unspoiled beaches and secret caves
Gulf of Orosei by dinghy, a journey into the soul of the sea
The Gulf of Orosei as you have never experienced it: an exclusive voyage where the sea sets the pace, nature reveals its most hidden corners and every stop becomes an unforgettable memory
Among unspoiled coves and private aperitifs
Gulf of Orosei, Dorgali
About this experience
The first hours will see you taking centre stage in crystal-clear waters, where Mediterranean scrubland meets white pebbles gleaming underwater and hidden caves waiting to be explored.
You will then let the wind carry you to hidden inlets, true open-air natural spas carved into white rock, where the water embraces you with a purity that takes your breath away. You will sail towards breathtaking scenery, for a swim that feels like a waking dream in a geological setting unique in the world.
You will find peace on beaches of blinding beauty, where sand and marble-white pebbles create postcard-perfect frames.
At midday, the sea becomes your private dining room.
On board, a gourmet lunch celebrating the authenticity of Sardinia awaits you: genuine flavours, carefully selected ingredients and dishes prepared with care, served with discreet elegance while the sea cradles you in an atmosphere of intimacy.
You will continue sailing towards coves dominated by natural arches sculpted by the wind and majestic places, famous for their rock formations and caves overlooking the sea. Places where nature meets silence in a dialogue that speaks directly to the soul.
On the way back, aboard our comfortable and spacious dinghy, you will enjoy a Spritz aperitif in an exclusive bay, or perhaps inside a secret cave just for you, while the sun paints the gulf in colours you never believed existed.
You will end the day with the return to port, with the certainty of having experienced not a simple trip, but a perfect harmony with nature that will stay inside you forever.
What's included
Your Guide
Adriano Troncia
Professional skipper licence
My roots are Sardinian: after working experiences abroad, I chose to return to my origins to share the authentic heart of my land.
I combine over 30 years of experience in hospitality with 15 years of navigation as a skipper in the Gulf of Orosei. Since last season I have been running my own independent business with a clear philosophy: outstanding quality and customer care at the heart of every experience.
I have selected a high-end dinghy designed for comfort, ideal for exploring hidden coves and caves in total relaxation. To the sea voyage I add a unique food and wine experience: as a sommelier, I guide guests through the discovery of local wines, turning each glass into a story of the territory.
Every detail is fully customisable, tailored to your wishes.
I speak several foreign languages fluently and my international experience, including in the security sector in England, has taught me that professionalism and attention to detail are my compass.
It is a privilege to work in this paradise and share its beauty, every day, with those who choose to travel with me.
