Private boat or shared trip

Gulf of Orosei private tours suit a group wanting an exclusive boat for a coastal day with a skipper, rather than places on a shared sailing. The practical differences here are group capacity, boat facilities and the aperitif package. An eight-metre dinghy carries up to twelve guests, while the two other private options accommodate up to seven. Each selected private outing lasts eight hours.

The Gulf of Orosei’s individual coves have different landing arrangements, so hiring the boat exclusively still leaves the coast’s access rules in place. The boat is private to the booking group, with a skipper handling navigation. This is a different purchase from self-drive dinghy rental, where the renter operates the craft and takes on the corresponding driving requirements.

The private dinghy suits a group of up to twelve wanting umbrellas and an ice-filled cooler; the yacht option suits up to seven wanting a shower, WC and an aperitif with a platter. A shared trip fits travellers who want individual places and the particular beach or meal package offered on that departure. Compare those choices on the shared boat trips page.

Departure in Cala Gonone

Cala Gonone is the departure base for all three private options described here. The exclusive dinghy meets at Piazza del Porto, with voucher exchange at Viale Colombo 10. The yacht with the platter aperitif and the private boat with crew both start at Via Cala Luna 1. These addresses distinguish the arrangements even though each activity is based in the same town.

Cala Gonone also serves scheduled boats to Luna, Sisine and Bue Marino, making it a practical coastal base for combining different outings across your stay. Dorgali is inland, rather than directly at the boat harbour. Use the arrival guide to connect transport to the right meeting point and the base comparison to choose between coastal and inland locations.

Gulf of Orosei private tours for up to twelve

The exclusive eight-metre dinghy costs from 1,020 EUR per group for up to twelve guests, with a duration of eight hours. The package includes the skipper and fuel, beach umbrellas and a cooler with ice. Bathing at gulf beaches is part of the outing, while food and drinks are extra. The environmental charge is also separate.

The dinghy’s specific appeal is the combination of its twelve-guest capacity and practical beach equipment. A group wanting to bring its own refreshments has a cooler with ice available on board, while umbrellas are supplied for the beach part of the day. The package supplies those items without adding an included lunch or aperitif. Its Piazza del Porto departure and voucher exchange belong to this option’s own meeting arrangements.

Yacht with a platter aperitif for up to seven

The private yacht option costs from 1,200 EUR per group for up to seven guests and lasts eight hours. Departure is at Via Cala Luna 1 in Cala Gonone. A knowledgeable skipper, fuel levy, snorkelling gear, life jackets and swimming noodles are included. Onboard facilities include a hot and cold freshwater shower, WC, sunbathing areas and a ladder for entering and leaving the water.

The yacht’s standard aperitif consists of a seafood or meat platter with one bottle of wine, choosing red, white or sparkling. The last-minute option changes that arrangement: the platter uses land-based products including Sardinian cured meats, and staff choose the wine according to availability on the day. The aperitif is a package component of this boat outing rather than a separate tasting activity.

The yacht excludes lunch, water and the environmental fee. Towels, sun protection and reef shoes are personal supplies. An icebox is available only by advance request, rather than a request made on the morning of the tour. This boat fits a party that values the listed shower, WC and sunbathing facilities as part of the eight-hour coastal day.

Private boat with crew for up to seven

The private boat with crew costs from 998 EUR per group for up to seven guests, with an eight-hour duration and a start at Via Cala Luna 1. The package includes a skipper, crew, fuel, snorkelling equipment, an aperitif and the excursion. Water, lunch and the environmental contribution are extra. The group price covers the private booking rather than separate individual tickets.

The private boat’s equipment and aperitif provide a different package from the dinghy with umbrellas and cooler, or the yacht with its specified platter and bathroom facilities. Its included services are the basis for choosing it; the yacht’s shower, WC or choice of platter are details of that other product. Keeping these packages distinct makes the comparison useful for a seven-person party.

Included equipment and municipal fees

The three private group prices are the recorded starting prices in November 2026, stated in EUR for the whole group. Each option has a skipper and fuel included, while its environmental fee is extra. Food and drink arrangements differ: the dinghy excludes them, and the boats with an aperitif still exclude lunch. An aperitif therefore does not replace planning the rest of the day’s food and drinking water.

Cala Goloritzé excludes boat landings, including on private outings. The beach uses its own walking reservation system, separate from viewing the coastline from the water. Mariolu, Gabbiani, Biriala and Sisine have their respective landing arrangements within the Baunei system, and Cala Luna has its own commercial landing plan. The Goloritzé guide and Cala Luna guide explain the distinction.

Sea conditions can change the coastal route and return arrangements on a Gulf of Orosei boat day. The skipper’s navigation role matters along this coastline, where the access to one cove differs from another. Choose the private outing for its actual boat, capacity and services. For a visit inside Bue Marino, the cave combinations include specific transport, admission and guided visits.

Private boat questions

How many guests can share one private booking?

Twelve guests fit the selected exclusive dinghy booking; the two other private boat options each allow up to seven guests. These are the stated maximum group sizes for the respective packages. The booking buys exclusive use for the group, with the skipper and the specific included equipment attached to that boat option.

Is a skipper included?

Yes. A skipper and fuel are included in each of the three selected eight-hour private outings from Cala Gonone. The dinghy also includes umbrellas and an ice-filled cooler, while the two seven-guest options include snorkelling equipment and an aperitif. Private charter and self-drive rental involve different arrangements for who operates the boat.

Does a private boat include Cala Goloritzé beach access?

No. Cala Goloritzé excludes boat landings and has a separate reservation system for access on foot. A private coastal day remains a boat outing subject to that boundary. The exclusive booking concerns the boat and its services, while visiting the beach requires planning the land approach and the return climb.

What happens if the sea affects the route?

Sea conditions can lead to changes in the Gulf of Orosei route, departure or return arrangements. A skipper-led day remains subject to those conditions, including the possibility of leaving out a destination. Keep the coastal day flexible and distinguish the boat’s included equipment and services from weather-dependent access to a specific cove.

Does the aperitif include lunch?

No. Lunch is excluded on the selected seven-guest boats even though an aperitif is included. The yacht’s standard platter and bottle of wine differ from its last-minute arrangement with land-based products and wine selected by availability. Water and the environmental fee are also extra, separate from the included aperitif package.
