About Isthintini/Stintino
Stintino sits at the northwestern tip of Sardinia, a former fishing village whose history is bound up with the sea and with Asinara, the island just offshore that once held a prison and now forms a national park. Cruising these waters is the most direct way to read that layered past, and the Asinara Vintage Sailing Boat Tour with Lunch pairs a historic vessel with the island's abandoned prison buildings and rugged coastline. For a slower, more intimate crossing, the Asinara Boat Excursion with Lunch On Board keeps the focus on the island itself and the stories its isolation left behind.

Frequently asked questions
These cruises centre on Asinara, the island visible from Stintino's harbour, which served as a prison colony and quarantine station for over a century before becoming a national park. Guides explain the abandoned prison complex, the former sanatorium and the island's layered past, so the sailing is a way of reaching and understanding a place that.
