FAQ

Frequently asked questions

What kind of boating area is Calasetta best for?+

Calasetta is best for coastal yacht cruising with short passages, swim stops, and sheltered day routes around Sant’Antioco. It is better suited to relaxed island-hopping style itineraries than long offshore sailing.

If you do not hold the right licence or do not want to handle the boat yourself, booking a skipper is the standard option in Italy. That is especially useful for guests who want a simple day cruise around Sant’Antioco and the nearby coast.

Can families or groups use a yacht charter from Calasetta?+
