Day trip on a sailing catamaran in Sardinia
Overview
Available languages
Mobile ticket
The special thing about a catamaran is the generous amount of space. Whether comfortably on the trampoline nets or together with the skipper on the flybridge. Perhaps if you prefer to sit in the cockpit with a view of the wake, the trip to the anchorage will already be extraordinary. In the bay there are several options to choose from, whether swimming, snorkeling, trying the stand-up paddle or great conversations on board in the sun or in the shade. We experience a day of great impressions and don't look so closely at the clock on the way back.

5.00The best experience in Olbia for the second year in a row. Ulli is the kindest captain we have come across so far. Great Guide, Entertainer and Chef. Not to mention his cocaptain Leyla who is a lovley Labrador that steals the show.
Amazing!

5.00A truly unforgettable experience. Our day with Uli and Leila (the sweetest dog!) was absolutely perfect. From the moment we stepped on board, we felt completely welcomed. The atmosphere, the lovely people from Germany and Scotland on board, the stunning surroundings, the sea, the meal, the dolfin …everything was just magical. You can truly feel the love and care he puts into creating this experience. It’s more than just a trip. It’s a soulful escape, a chance to connect with nature and yourself. The energy, the flow, the kindness… We left with full hearts and a deep sense of peace. We hope many other lovely souls find their way to Uli and Leila. Highly, highly recommended! S & M from Luxbg.

Uli explained everythig that we saw. He also prepared a beutiful and delicious lunch and had plenty of snacks and beverages for the entire day. Don't hesitate to book with Uli. It will be the highlight of your trip!

5.00We had the BEST day out on the water with Ulli and his dog Lyla! He was a perfect host and took us to see some of the most beautiful places - such a wonderful day! We travelled with our kids (ages 12 and 13) and they enjoyed the day as much as we did - highly recommend if you are looking for a fun, beautiful day out on the water.
Outstanding

5.00I thoroughly recommend this excursion. I'm honestly so glad we booked it. Initially I thought it looked a bit expensive compared to some other similar sounding tours, but I liked the idea of not having too many people on the boat, so decided to bite the bullet. It ended up being the highlight of our trip and was well worth the money. Uli, the captain, was a brilliant host. Attentive, funny, relaxed, and he provided a delicious pasta lunch for us. His dog, Layla, being aboard and joining in with the paddle boarding was an added bonus. In total there were 9 people aboard, including the captain and a baby, so it really didn't feel crowded. It was our first time on a Catamaran so I wasn't too sure what to expect, and it really is a great way to spend the day. The pace was relaxed, the scenery and swimming spots were just glorious. There was lots of time to snorkel, swim and use the paddle boards and kayak (even to just chill out on the sea for a while). Sunbathing on the nets at the front of the boat with the water just below you is a really nice experience. If I ever return to Sardinia in the summer, I will hope Uli is still around and I will do it again.
Awesome !

5.00Had an awesome time on this trip! Boat was wonderful , clean fully stocked plenty of room to walk around and relax the highlight was Leila the co pilot (captains dog) . She was so pleasant . Stopped at few stops around Tavolara and swam in the beautiful azure waters. Then had a great lunch made by Uli . I do not know why the negative reviews were posted but I was in the same boat and it was clean, as advertised and the captain and Leila were lovely . Do not pass up this operator . After the wonderful cruise Uli took the remainder of us to town and had some local food and some gelato . It was very comfortable clean and awesome trip !
Amazing day!

5.00Excellent day with Uli and Laila! Swim stops were gorgeous, lunch was delicious, and there was so much space since the group was kept small. A really lovely day of sailing and swimming at our own pace. Saw lots of dolphins, snorkeling, and had the best time with the group! Thank you Uli for the amazing hospitality!!!
Fantastic relaxing day on the water!

1.00Avoid this tour. It's overcrowded, unhygienic, and unsafe — and nothing like what is advertised We booked this catamaran tour expecting a premium small-group experience, advertised as capped at 8 people. In reality, there were 13 people crammed onboard, and when we questioned it, the captain casually admitted that he needs more people “to make money.” We were not offered a proper chance to cancel — we were already transferred by airboat and had no way back to shore. The boat was dirty, and we stayed in a small area the entire time just waiting for it to be over. There were no crew members, only the captain, who was cooking while the boat was anchored — using seawater to prepare food, which he openly admitted. At one point, while he was inside, a passenger started pressing buttons where the boat controls were. It felt completely unsafe. To make things worse, the captain's dog was onboard for 8 hours, shedding hair everywhere and even urinating inside the catamaran. It was unhygienic and uncomfortable for guests. When we complained, the operator made false claims and tried to blame us, saying we were antisocial and “dog haters.” Totally unprofessional. Avoid this tour. It's overcrowded, unhygienic, and unsafe — and nothing like what is advertised.
Stay away - This is a scam

1.00Overcapacity & Deceptive Conduct The listing stated a maximum of 8 participants; however, 13 guests were onboard. When I raised this, the captain lied, claiming only 10 were present — despite multiple people confirming the real number. Unhygienic Conditions All drinks were served in open jars, including water and wine. Nothing was bottled. Lunch was prepared using seawater taken directly from the sea, which is unsafe and unprofessional. Safety Violations There were no crew members. The captain prepared food, leaving the boat unattended while sailing for at least 15 minutes. During a swim stop, a passenger accessed the helm and began pressing buttons. I believe the engine may have been briefly activated, while people were still in the water — a serious danger. He did not provide any instructions. Normally captains ask you to stay around the boat for safety reasons, he had no responsibility of the passengers. Unclean and Undisclosed Presence of a Dog There was a dog on board, belonging to the captain. This was not disclosed in the tour description. The dog urinated inside the catamaran, and the entire boat was covered in dog hair — extremely unpleasant and unhygienic. This is unacceptable in a shared commercial experience and posed potential allergy risks to passengers. This tour was not just disappointing — it was unsafe, unsanitary, and grossly misrepresented. It breached multiple expectations for safety, hygiene, and professionalism
