When considering a boat tour around Sardinia, many travelers might think of crowded, noisy excursions, but this Sella Diavolo Eco-friendly Tour offers something quite different. Designed to combine sustainable touring with authentic seaside charm, this two-hour adventure takes you along Sardinia’s lesser-known beaches and bays, all aboard an electric speedboat. It’s a chance to see Sardinia’s incredible coastline while keeping the planet in mind—what’s not to love?
What we really appreciate about this experience are two key elements: first, the focus on eco-friendly transportation — an electric boat that’s silent and emissions-free — which makes the tour feel more respectful of the environment. Second, the chance to relax with an aperitif and snacks onboard as you soak in the views and listen to the waves.
A small potential consideration: with only two hours, this tour offers a quick glimpse of Sardinia’s coast—perfect if you’re short on time but perhaps too brief if you’re craving a more in-depth exploration. Still, it’s ideal for those who enjoy a balanced mix of sightseeing, swimming, and relaxing.
This tour suits travelers looking for a light, eco-conscious sea adventure—great for families, couples, or anyone interested in experiencing Sardinia’s coast without the noise and pollution of traditional boats.

This Sella Diavolo Eco-friendly Tour offers a fresh perspective on Sardinia’s coastline. Instead of loud engines and crowded beaches, you’ll glide along in a quiet, electric speedboat, feeling almost as if you’re floating through the water rather than rushing over it. The focus on sustainability isn’t just buzz—it’s built into the experience, making it a particularly appealing choice for environmentally conscious travelers.
We loved the way the tour combines stunning natural sights with a laid-back vibe. The itinerary includes visits to famous hidden beaches like Cala Fighera and Cala Mosca, as well as the Piscine della Sella, a stunning natural pool carved by the sea. These spots are less accessible by land, so boat access becomes your ticket to secret corners.
The boat itself is a highlight—electric, silent, and clean. Reviewers praise the professionalism of the guides and the smooth, easy organization. As Amanda notes, “The speed boat is electric which is great for the environment and super silent, making the trip nicer as we can chat and listen to music.” That’s a rare feature among boat tours, turning what might be a noisy, disruptive ride into a peaceful cruise perfect for photography, conversation, and simply soaking in the views.
