Chia · Su Giudeu Beach · Santa Margherita di Pula
From Su Giudeu to Sardinia's hidden coast
Your boat, your route, your pace. Depart from Chia's Su Giudeu beach and navigate west along South Sardinia's most breathtaking coastline — turquoise coves, white sand, and wild rocky capes that feel like the Caribbean. All reachable with our no-license dinghies.
20 min from Su Giudeu
Tuerredda Beach
White sand, emerald lagoon, sheltered from the mistral. Often called the most beautiful beach in all of Sardinia — and it's even more breathtaking from the sea. Anchor near the tiny island for the best snorkeling on the coast.
25 min from Su Giudeu
Capo Malfatano
Where the coastline turns wild. Natural rock pools carved into the cape, deep waters for serious snorkeling, and a coast so untouched that dolphins are regularly spotted alongside boats. A locals' favourite.
~60 min from Su Giudeu
Cala Zafferano
Hidden inside a military zone, completely inaccessible by land — only reachable by boat from June to September. Blinding white sand with pink reflections, fluorescent emerald waters, and absolute silence. No bars, no umbrellas, no crowds. The ultimate full-day boat adventure from Chia.

Guest from Germany · TripAdvisorEXCELLENT Based on 169 reviews Posted on Tahar Hedfi28/05/2026 Sono andato oggi ha noleggiare una barca mi sono trovato benissimo grazie a Luca per l’ottimo servizio e per l’ospitalitàPosted on Marco Ardis26/05/2026 Ottima disponibilità ragazzi veramente fantastici ti spiegano ogni cosa e super cordiali, grandi e complimenti a tutti !!Posted on Danny Meyer24/05/2026 Alles bestens gelaufen ohne Probleme kann man gerne weiter empfehlen. Die Küste und die Buchten ein absolutes Muss mit dem Boot. Danke an das Team von Wave ProjektPosted on Claudio Sironi17/09/2025 Ragazzi giovani, professionali e simpatici. Attrezzature e mezzi nuovi o recenti e ben tenuti. Prezzi in linea con le offerte di zona. Avendo finito la benzina del primo serbatoio abbiamo perso tempo nella sostituzione e siamo arrivati in ritardo di 15 minuti rispetto all’orario concordato. Non è stato un problema quindi 🔝. Il luogo di partenza è strategico per visitare le spiagge più belle della zona, su tutte cala Zafferano (foto).Posted on Filipp Kucheriavenko16/09/2025 Awesome guys and great service! I took a boat for sunset hours - the best hours of a day in my opinion: golden hour and safe skin. 40 hp boat is allowed to run by yourself without license, and it's more than enough, especially if it's your first time! I got short and clean instructions and recommendations for the route at the beginning of the trip. I've spent great time in the sea, and would definitely recommend this experience!Posted on Janine Pohle16/09/2025 Von der Kontaktausnahme bis zum Tourende eine unkomplizierte und wirklich freundliche Abwicklung. Preis-Leistung sehr gut. Wir können WaveProject sehr empfehlen!!Posted on Ulli Clauss08/09/2025 Sehr sympathisches und unkompliziertes Team mit super Tipps für schöne Haltestationen. 100% weiter zu empfehlen.Posted on Eros Piccoli08/09/2025 Fate attenzione alla fine il costo del noleggio per mezza giornata è letteralmente il doppio rispetto ad altri , consiglio di informarsi bene prima anche nei dintorniPosted on Liridon Sahiti06/09/2025 Unforgetable experience. We took the selva boat for rhe sunset cruise without skipper and it was truly an amazing experience.Posted on Sara Cherchi04/09/2025 Ho prenotato il gommone per andare a Cala Zafferan insieme alle mie amiche, bellissima esperienza. Ragazzi gentilissimi e disponibili, super consigliato.
