05 May RIB Rental in Porto Cervo: What to See in Half a Day
RIB rental in Porto Cervo is the ideal solution when time is limited but you do not want to miss an unforgettable experience. Just a few hours are enough to leave the busy coast behind and enter a landscape of crystal-clear water, Mediterranean scents, and peaceful surroundings. Here is a complete half-day itinerary departing from Porto Cervo Marina.
Departure: freedom from the very first moment
As the marina and moored boats disappear behind you, the sea opens ahead and invites you to choose your route without rushing. This freedom is the real value of renting a RIB in Porto Cervo: no fixed timetable or compulsory stops, just the pleasure of following the coast and stopping wherever the water looks most inviting.

First stop: Cala Granu
After only a few minutes of cruising, you reach Cala Granu, a perfect first stop. The water is clear and turquoise, while the shallow seabed makes swimming pleasant and safe, including for children. It is the kind of place where guests often stay longer than expected.
Second stop: Spiaggia del Principe
As you continue, the coast becomes increasingly dramatic until you reach Spiaggia del Principe, one of the symbols of the Costa Smeralda. Arriving by rental RIB offers a completely different experience from walking there: you avoid paths and crowds and enjoy a privileged view of the extraordinary colours of the sea and sand.
Third stop: Capriccioli
Farther along lies Capriccioli, a succession of small coves made for exploring by RIB. Each inlet has its own character, while all share transparent water and seabeds perfect for swimming and snorkelling. It is easy to find a quiet corner, switch off the engine, and enjoy the sea without distractions.

Practical advice for a half-day trip
Even for a short excursion, a few simple precautions make a difference:
- Leave early in the morning: the sea is calmer, the light is beautiful, and the coves are still quiet.
- Bring enough water: the Costa Smeralda sun remains strong even in September.
- A hat and sunscreen are essential during the central hours.
- Bring a snack so you can extend a stop without rushing back.
Comfort is already provided by Georib RIBs: each boat has a sun canopy for shade and a cooler to keep drinks fresh.

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.
