These three day trips from Alghero each focus on the coast, but they differ in boat style, onboard atmosphere, and how the day is paced. One is a small-group catamaran outing, one adds more onboard comforts and included food and drinks, and one uses a traditional sailing ship with a very small group feel.

Sailing day trip on Tall Ship Andrea Jensen with Lunch and Wine
Best for: Travelers who want a traditional ship, a very small-group atmosphere, and a more classic sailing experience.
This experience stands out because the boat itself is the main part of the appeal: a traditional tall ship with a British crew and a very different feel from a modern catamaran. The route notes mention sailing from port along the coast to Capo Caccia and Porto Conte Bay, with time for swimming and snorkeling in a secluded bay. Lunch and drinks are included, along with snorkelling equipment and swimming or buoyancy aids. The description stresses a very small group and plenty of deck space, so it suits travelers who value a slower, more traditional day on the water.
Why choose the tall ship day trip
- Very small-group atmosphere is emphasized
- Traditional wooden ship with a classic sailing style
- Includes lunch, wine or beer, snorkelling equipment, and swimming aids
Choosing the right Alghero day trip style
