Details
Our boat trip to the islands of Giglio and Giannutri will take you on a discovery of the natural beauties these islands have to offer. Our staff will be ready to guide you through the different parts of the tour, including adventurous excursions, history and local food.
Once on board, the ship will be ready to sail from Porto Santo Stefano, typical for its colourful houses overlooking the sea, to the island of Giannutri. This little pearl of the Tuscan Archipelago still hides ancient remains dating back to the Roman Empire. During this stop, you can choose to visit the remains of an ancient Roman villa or take a dip in the clear waters of Cala Spalmatoio or Cala Maestra.
We will then depart on our boat, where our staff will be waiting for you on board serving a typical fish lunch, to fully enjoy this sensory experience through the flavours that the sea has to offer. The tour will then take you to the territories of the Giglio island, about 14 kilometres from Argentario, among its rocky and natural landscapes. Here you will be able to venture out to discover the treasures that this area hides. Our boat will then return to our starting point, Porto Santo Stefano, thus concluding a day full of adventure, but above all full of memories.

A swimming stop at Giannutri and Giglio Island was absolutely not to be missed, a wonderful experience.
The crew on board was extremely kind and well-organized, and the food was delicious. There was even a singer who livened things up a bit while we were having lunch. Also, on the way back, there was strong wind, and my partner, who was scared, was practically consoled by a (tattooed) girl on the crew, in a very gentle and reassuring way. CHAPEAU 🫡👏👏👏

It was very pleasant; Gianuttri Island is magnificent with crystal-clear water, and lunch on board the boat was good too. Giglio is less interesting.
The only downside was the language; everything was in Italian, and there was only one person who spoke a little English.

Positive experience. Excellent organization. It's a shame the outdoor space is limited. The lunch and entertainment were more than satisfactory.
