Sail to Sardinia's wildest, most protected island — a former supermax prison turned pristine national park — aboard a private yacht with lunch on deck and snorkelling in crystalline waters teeming with rare albino donkeys ashore.
What to expect
Depart Stintino marina (30 min taxi/transfer from Porto Torres port) aboard a crewed private sailboat, gliding past the turquoise straits of Bocche di Bonifacio. Drop anchor at hidden coves for snorkelling, then land on Asinara to meet the island's famous wild albino donkeys roaming freely along bleached limestone tracks. A Sardinian gourmet lunch — fresh-caught seafood, local cheeses, Vermentino wine — is served on deck under a canvas shade sail as the boat drifts back to port in the late afternoon.
Good to know
Stintino is ~30 min from Porto Torres by taxi (approx. EUR 30–35 one-way). Sailboat tours typically depart 09:00–09:30 and return by 17:00–17:30 — confirm all-aboard time carefully and allow 45 min for the return transfer. Pre-book the tour directly well in advance; summer departures sell out weeks ahead. Bring reef-safe sunscreen, a hat, and water shoes for the rocky coves.
