About us: Sardinia Boat Tours with Nautilux

There are places on Earth where time seems to slow, where nature reigns untamed, and the sea whispers ancient stories to those willing to listen. One of those places is Ogliastra, on the wild and pristine east coast of Sardinia. And there is no better way to experience its magic than with Sardinia boat tours—an experience crafted to perfection by Nautilux Travel.

Born in 2025 from the fusion of three pioneering companies—Ogliastra Turismo, East Coast Sardinia, and Arbatax Charter—Nautilux Travel combines decades of expertise, a passion for the sea, and a fleet of over 30 boats to offer unforgettable journeys through one of the Mediterranean’s last unspoiled gems.

A Sea of Possibilities

At Nautilux, we don’t just organize boat tours. We create experiences—moments that stay with you long after your skin forgets the salt and your tan begins to fade.

Do you dream of sailing alone along the rugged coastline, with no one to answer to but the sun and the horizon? Our license-free, 40 HP self-drive boats offer just that: freedom. Cast off from Arbatax or Santa Maria Navarrese and explore the coastline at your own pace.

Prefer to let someone else take the helm? Join one of our group tours aboard comfortable 8-meter inflatable boats, limited to just 12 guests for a relaxed, friendly vibe. Or elevate your experience aboard our exclusive boat with spacious sunbathing decks, ideal for up to 10 guests and complete with a traditional Sardinian aperitif.

Looking for something truly bespoke? Our private tours with a dedicated skipper are tailored to your pace, your preferences, and your personal idea of paradise.

The Wild Heart of Sardinia

Sardinia is a land of contrasts, but nowhere is that duality more alive than in Ogliastra. Towering limestone cliffs meet translucent turquoise waters. Caves carved by time open like secret gateways. And beaches—some no more than narrow coves, others grand and cinematic—appear suddenly, often reachable only by boat.

Our Sardinia boat tours reveal this enchanted coastline in all its glory. From the ethereal Cala Goloritzé, recently crowned the “world’s most beautiful beach” by The World’s 50 Best Beaches 2025, to the surreal Venus Pools, each stop tells a story, each swim a moment suspended in time.

Venture into the Grotta del Fico, where silence and shadows play upon millennia-old rock formations. Drift into the embrace of Cala Mariolu, where white pebbles meet glassy seas. Drop anchor off a deserted inlet, dive in, and feel the world disappear.

Rooted in Place, Driven by Passion

Nautilux isn’t just about boats—it’s about belonging. Every skipper, every guide, and every team member is a guardian of this coastline. They know the currents, the weather, the hidden paths, the tales passed down from fishermen and shepherds. And they love nothing more than sharing those secrets.

Whether you’re exploring the coast at your own pace or guided by one of our passionate local captains, you’ll feel that connection—to nature, to tradition, and to a way of life that still pulses just below the surface.

A Responsible Way to Travel

We believe in tourism that respects the very beauty it seeks to enjoy. That’s why sustainability is central to our mission. Our boats use eco-conscious systems. Our crew is trained to minimize environmental impact. And we educate our guests on preserving the delicate ecosystems we pass through—like the vital seagrass meadows beneath our hulls.

This isn’t just about offering Sardinia boat tours—it’s about ensuring that generations to come can experience the same awe and wonder you do.

Comfort Meets Authenticity

At Nautilux, we balance comfort with authenticity. Our vessels are equipped with everything you need: shaded seating, ample space, and—on some tours—an onboard Sardinian aperitif made of local delicacies, from pecorino to pane carasau, and a chilled glass of vermentino.

But it’s not about luxury for luxury’s sake. It’s about creating an experience that’s relaxed, genuine, and steeped in the soul of this land. From the moment you board, we want you to feel like part of the family—welcome, cared for, and inspired.

Voices from the Sea

Don’t take just our word for it. Listen to the voices of those who have joined us:

“An unforgettable day! Our skipper Gianni not only showed us the most stunning coves, but also shared the stories behind them. Highly recommended!” – Giacomo, June 2025

“Daniele wasn’t just a captain—he was a storyteller, a guide, and a friend. The way he connected with my 10-year-old made the experience even more magical.” – Annalena, Sept 2024

“We rented a boat without a license and had the freedom to explore at our own rhythm. It was the highlight of our Sardinian holiday.” – Paul, Sept 2024

Our guests return again and again—not just for the views, but for the feeling. For the warmth. For the sense that something rare and real is still possible in the world.
