Tavolara from the sea.
Like you've never seen it.
Boat trips from San Teodoro with local skippers. Four hours around Tavolara and Molara, swimming and snorkelling stops, children welcome.
The trips we've chosen
Every trip is curated. The catalogue grows through the season, as the operators in our network open up new routes.
Tavolara & Molara
Two islands, their stories, and the best bays on this coast. Molara's natural pools, Tavolara's south face, Cala Girgolu. The route to start with.
watching
Out towards Golfo Aranci, where bottlenose dolphins feed regularly. Skippers who know the routes. An encounter most people don't forget.
tourism
A day at sea with the fisherman: traditional fishing, snorkelling inside the Marine Protected Area and a Sardinian lunch on board. Genuine — for families and the curious.
Not a listing. A selection.
Go Tavolara is the local platform for sea experiences inside the Tavolara Marine Protected Area. We pick every operator, we know every skipper, and we cover the best parts of the park: Tavolara, Molara, Cala Girgolu and Punta Coda Cavallo.
Operators licensed by the Tavolara Marine Protected Area. We select every skipper and check every boat in the network. No surprises on board.
Twelve people per boat, maximum. Real attention for every guest, stops where you want them, no rushing. In high season seats go weeks ahead — book early.
Payment through Stripe — the same system Amazon and Booking.com use. Instant confirmation. Full refund if the weather keeps the boat in.
Skippers who know every cove, every current, every story on this coast. You don't learn that from books.
Two islands you don't forget
"Who tells you these stories, while you're sailing over them?"
In Greek myth it is the ship of the Phaeacians, turned to stone by Poseidon. In the 19th century Giuseppe Bertoleoni declared himself king — the dynasty lasted generations. The wild goats have golden teeth, stained by the helichrysum they eat. The south wall drops sheer for hundreds of metres into a blue that has no name.
Reachable only by sea. Pope Pontian was exiled here in 235 AD. Forty metres down lies the wreck of a French merchant ship sunk in 1941. Molara's natural pools — shallow, clear right through — are among the finest in the Mediterranean.

Reviews from guests on trips run by the Go Tavolara network.
"A truly beautiful, unforgettable experience! The team was extremely professional from the moment we booked. Our skipper was friendly and knowledgeable, and told us all sorts of things about the places we visited. Highly recommended for anyone looking for something genuine, away from the crowded beaches. I'd go back tomorrow!"
"The best of all the trips we did! The staff are the best and were wonderful with the children. Their stories and little details made the time on the water even better. For me, nothing compares!"
Everything you might want to know
If you can't find the answer, message us on WhatsApp.
Yes — these trips are built for families too. The boats in the network are stable and safe, with buoyancy aids and certified life jackets for smaller passengers. For children under 2, message us first and we'll work it out together.
No. Stops are always in calm water, and there are buoyancy aids and snorkelling masks on board.
Swimsuit, towel, sun cream already on (the sun is strong out on the water), something to drink, comfortable shoes. Everything else is on board.
If conditions don't allow the boat out, it doesn't go out. We tell you the evening before. You have two options: move to another date, or a full refund. No penalty.
From the Capo Coda Cavallo peninsula, near San Teodoro. The exact boarding point depends on which operator you're matched with: once you've booked, your skipper contacts you to confirm where to meet.
Standard trips are shared, up to 12 people. If your group wants the boat to itself, message us on WhatsApp — we'll look at a private departure.
