How payment works for the Exclusive option
With the boat reserved for you, the whole amount is paid at booking, not just the deposit. There are two payments, because they go to two different parties: the deposit to us and the balance directly to the company providing boat and crew. The booking is valid only once both have been made; until then the date stays open to others.
The deposit follows our cancellation terms. Any refund of the balance is governed by the company’s own terms, and the company answers for it directly to you: the company’s terms, communiIf you need to cancel, let us know as soon as you can. Cancelling more than 15 days ahead, we refund the deposit in full. Between 15 and 7 days, the refund is 50%. Under 7 days there is no refund, as the day can no longer be resold. In every case you may choose a free change of date instead of a refund. If the Coast Guard suspends departures, you get a full refund or a new date, as you prefer.
The booking and both payments must be completed at least 4 days before departure: we need a full day beyond the 72-hour limit to receive confirmation from the company that the balance has arrived. This is why closer dates cannot be selected. For a departure within 4 days, write to us on WhatsApp and we will check with the company.

Motor cruiser · Departure from Cala Gonone harbour · Multilingual audio guide
Sheer cliffs, coves that open only from the sea, and a whole day to cross them. Three beach stops and two facing Cala Goloritzè and the Pools of Venus, with an audio guide telling the story as it drifts past.
The day's programme
Departure from the port of Cala Gonone.
Cruising along the Gulf of Orosei: limestone cliffs, sea caves and wild coves.
3 beach stops — usually Cala Luna, Cala Mariolu and Cala Sisine — to go ashore, swim and relax in clear water. The destinations are never guaranteed: they always depend on weather conditions and on the rulings of the Port Authorities of Cala Gonone and Baunei.
2 photo stops at Cala Goloritzè (UNESCO site) and the Pools of Venus.
Audio guide on board: stories, facts and information about the area, its history and nature.
Same itinerary as the Boat Cruise · Transport to the cave included
The same route, plus the Bue Marino Cave: you sail in where the sea slips into the rock and the light changes colour. Entrance ticket and guided visit are paid at the harbour, or you can buy them online.
The day's programme
Same programme as the Minicruise: departure from Cala Gonone, cruising in the Gulf of Orosei, 3 beach stops, 2 photo stops at Cala Goloritzè and the Pools of Venus, audio guide on board and return to the harbour.
Plus, a first stop at the Bue Marino Cave: a walking visit of about one hour, where the sea enters the rock and the light changes colour.
Transport to the cave is included; entrance and guided visit (€ 10-12 adults, € 5-6 children depending on the season) are paid at the harbour, or you can buy them online.
Bue Marino Cave and a stop at Cala Luna · October 2026: departures at 10:00, 11:00 and 15:00 · Return 17:00
The freest option: landing at the Bue Marino Cave and a stop at Cala Luna. Three departures a day (10:00, 11:00 and 15:00), so you decide how long to stay on the beach. The cave ticket is not included: it is paid at the harbour, or you can buy it online.
Boat · Max 40/45 people · Min. 10-15 participants · Departure 10:00, return 17:00
A boat reserved for a handful of guests: steadier than a dinghy, more intimate than a large vessel. Two or three beach stops, as many offshore for diving in, and a tasting of Sardinian produce on board.
The day's programme
10:00 · Departure from the port of Cala Gonone.
Scenic cruising along the coast: limestone cliffs, caves and coves reachable only from the sea.
2/3 beach stops, selected, to go ashore and swim in crystal-clear water.
2/3 offshore stops, to dive straight off the boat and swim freely.
Tasting of typical Sardinian produce on board, during the cruise.
17:00 · Return to Cala Gonone.
Reserved boat, from 10-15 up to 40/45 guests: calm sailing, comfortable space and the sea away from the crowds.
How booking works
Put your booking together above and pay the deposit online — it is always shown before you pay. You get a receipt with its own address straight away, which updates itself at every step. We confirm availability with the company running the service and write to you on WhatsApp, usually the same day.
How payment works — deposit now, balance on confirmation
At booking you pay the deposit, which holds your date. The balance is paid online right after the deposit. The booking is confirmed once it has been paid.
The balance goes directly to the owner who provides the vessel, not to us: two separate payments, both shown on your receipt, which updates itself.
If you book when there is already less than a week to go, the balance is paid straight away, together with the deposit.
The exception is services with a boat reserved exclusively — exclusive use, the Exclusive option and boats of 100 hp and above — where everything is paid at booking: that day the boat comes off the calendar and is yours alone.
The stops. Usually three beach stops — Cala Luna, Cala Mariolu and Cala Sisine — plus two scenic stops in front of Cala Goloritzè and the Piscine di Venere, where you stay on board. The destinations are never guaranteed: they always depend on weather conditions and on the rulings of the Port Authorities of Cala Gonone and Baunei. The skipper decides on the morning itself.
Included: safety equipment required by law and assistance during the trip.
Not included: the environmental tax of the Municipality of Baunei, due from everyone on every service, and entry to the Bue Marino Cave, which is never included.
Crew included. Entry to the Bue Marino Cave is never included in the cruise price: it is paid at the harbour, or you can buy it online.
The vessel is a large boat, carrying up to 150 people: there is room to be comfortable, with areas in the shade and in the sun. The Exclusive option is the exception, reserved for a small group.
Places are limited, especially for the Exclusive option, confirmed with a minimum of 10-15 participants.
Environmental fees — compulsory, and not ours
Environmental tax. € 5.50 per person, paid on site: everyone pays it, including children under one year of age. It is not included in the booking total.
Cala Luna. Since 4 July 2026, access to Cala Luna requires an environmental contribution of € 2.50 per person, paid by card directly at the jetty, where conditions allow landing.
Where to park
Parking. Free in Via Cala Luna, 5–10 min walk from the harbour (Map). From June to September, discounted parking with a free shuttle at Loc. Iscrittiore (Map).
Bad weather and cancellations
If the trip is called off because of sea conditions, it is moved to another date or the deposit is refunded in full: bad weather is nobody's fault.
If you cancel. Up to three days before we refund the whole deposit, or move the date at no cost. In the last three days, if you let us know, we refund half the deposit or move the date. If you simply do not show up without telling us, the deposit stays with us.
If the balance does not arrive. Two days before departure the place becomes available again: we remind you beforehand, and if something is wrong one message is enough to sort it out.
If we are the ones who cannot provide the service, you choose between a new date and a full refund.
