Legend holds that the archangels drove Lucifer out of this bay, and that the saddle he lost in the fall hardened into the limestone promontory now called Sella del Diavolo, the Devil's Saddle, which rises roughly 136 metres above the water. The bay took its name from the winners: Golfo degli Angeli, the Gulf of the Angels. Cagliari Catamaran Tour to the Gulf of the Angels tours still trace that shoreline, leaving from the working quays of the Porto di Cagliari on Via Roma. The gulf has been read as a frontier for three thousand years. Phoenician crews sheltered under Capo Sant'Elia, where a Punic sanctuary once stood on the ridge. Rome held the same headland. Pisan and Aragonese engineers later ringed the coast with watchtowers, and the Torre del Prezzemolo still marks the crest of the saddle. The bastions of the Castello district, cut from the same pale Miocene limestone, remain visible from the deck of any Cagliari coastal boat tour crossing the outer harbour. Little of that geography is decorative. Within a few nautical miles the coast compresses an eight-kilometre run of Poetto sand, the sheltered basin of Marina Piccola, the sea caves and narrow inlets of Cala Fighera and Cala Regina, and broad meadows of Posidonia oceanica whose roots hold the sediment down and keep the water legible to a depth of several metres. Behind the dune line, the Molentargius saltpans support one of Europe's few urban flamingo colonies, a stone's throw from apartment blocks. The port that sends the catamarans out is the same one that made the city. Cagliari has traded from this bay since Punic times, and the Via Roma waterfront was rebuilt in the nineteenth century as an arcaded frontage facing the ships. Golfo degli Angeli catamaran excursions now share the basin with ferries, fishing boats and container cranes. Cagliari Catamaran Tour to the Gulf of the Angels tickets carry no entrance fee of their own — the quays are public, free at 0 EUR — because the gulf, unlike the city's museums, has never been enclosed. What is sold is passage across it, and passage is the oldest transaction Cagliari knows.

A step-by-step walkthrough of the visit — what you'll see, how long each stage takes, and the details that matter.
You reach the Porto di Cagliari on Via Roma under the arcades, and the boarding pontoon sits a few minutes' walk along the quay. Crews call names between 09:00 and 10:30, when the sea is flattest and the light still comes off the water rather than down onto it. You cross the gangway, stow your shoes, and take a seat on the trampoline netting slung between the hulls. The engine cuts once the breakwater is behind you. For twenty minutes you watch Cagliari fall into profile — the Castello bastions stacked above the port, the basilica of Bonaria on its hill, then the sudden grey wall of the Devil's Saddle. A Cagliari Catamaran Tour to the Gulf of the Angels tour turns east here, tucking into the calas below Capo Sant'Elia where the anchor drops through six or seven metres of water. You pull on a mask, go down the swim ladder, and follow the rock edge: sea bream in loose columns, salema grazing the Posidonia, an octopus wedged under a shelf. Back aboard, someone pours prosecco while the hulls swing slowly on the anchor line and the cliff throws shade across the bow. The return leg runs with the afternoon breeze, and by 19:00 the last boats are alongside again, salt-dry and moving slower than they left.
The operator facilities are open daily from 09:00–19:00 to manage departures.
