    • Coastal landscapes: Cruise past scenic headlands like Capo Figari or Capo Ceraso (depending on sea conditions), where rugged cliffs, hidden inlets, and sweeping coastal views define Sardinia’s northeast shoreline.

    • Swim break: Pause for a refreshing swim in calm coastal waters and enjoy a light snack onboard while surrounded by island scenery.

    • Dolphin watching: Keep watch for dolphins surfacing and gliding through the waters around Figarolo Island, one of the most active spots for sightings along this coastline.
