05 May Costa Smeralda RIB Itinerary: A Perfect Day Among Islands and Coves
A full day aboard a rental RIB on the Costa Smeralda is one of the best ways to discover Sardinia. This RIB itinerary is designed for guests who want a complete experience at a relaxed pace, away from the busiest routes. Cruising along this coast means alternating open water with sheltered bays, turquoise seas, and constantly changing views.
Departing from Poltu Quatu immediately creates a feeling of calm. Its sheltered, discreet marina offers quick access to open water and some of the most fascinating places in the surrounding archipelago. Within minutes, you feel the freedom that only a RIB can offer: no rigid itinerary, just the pleasure of choosing when to stop and how long to stay.
The ideal first stop is Mortorio Island, one of the wildest gems in the area. Nature is the absolute star here: no buildings, just wind-sculpted rocks and exceptionally clear water ranging from emerald green to deep blue. The seabed is perfect for snorkelling.
Continuing the route, you can reach Soffi Island, a smaller and often quieter destination. Its shallow, transparent water is ideal for a peaceful stop and a relaxing swim.
Farther along the coast lies Cala di Volpe, one of the Costa Smeralda’s most iconic bays. This elegant landscape combines sheltered inlets, beautiful beaches, warm colours, and reflections across the water.
A longer stop can be made at Liscia Ruja, one of the widest beaches in the area. It is easy to find a safe place to anchor, swim, and enjoy a longer break, even during the busiest months.
A full day aboard requires only a few sensible preparations. Bring plenty of water and a hat for the hottest hours. Comfort is already provided on board: all Georib RIBs have a sun canopy for shade and a cooler to keep drinks fresh throughout the trip.
If you are looking for RIB rental in Porto Cervo, Georib offers well-equipped boats departing from both Porto Cervo and Poltu Quatu.
Keep the day relaxed and enjoy every stretch of the route without rushing. Stop often, swim, and change your itinerary whenever a place catches your attention. Even the late-afternoon return becomes part of the experience as the light grows warmer and the sea changes colour.

Questions and Useful Information
Everything you need to know about a RIB trip
Is a boating licence required to rent a RIB?
No. If you choose a RIB with an engine of up to 40 HP, you can drive it without a boating licence. If you would rather relax and enjoy the scenery, you can rent a boat with a skipper, who can take you to quieter and more secluded coves.
What happens if it is windy or the sea is rough?
Safety comes first. If weather and sea conditions do not allow a safe trip, the excursion is normally moved to the next available date or refunded. The archipelago offers many sheltered areas, so even with stronger winds it is often possible to find protected coves with calm water.
What is a typical itinerary in the archipelago?
Although the itinerary may change according to the wind, the unmissable stops usually include:
-
Spargi (Cala Corsara)
-
Budelli (Pink Beach and the natural pools of Porto della Madonna)
-
Santa Maria
-
Caprera (Cala Coticcio, the famous “Tahiti”)
What should I bring on board?
We recommend bringing a few light but essential items:
-
Biodegradable sunscreen to help protect the ecosystem.
-
Plenty of drinking water.
-
Snorkelling equipment, including a mask and snorkel.
-
A hat and a light shirt for the hottest hours.
Is there an environmental or landing fee?
Yes. Access to La Maddalena Archipelago National Park requires an environmental ticket. When renting a RIB, always check whether this fee is included in the price or must be paid separately before departure.
