Giannutri Island: Private Snorkelling & Roman Villa Boat Day

Sail to the car-free island of Giannutri — a protected marine reserve with crystalline waters — to snorkel ancient Roman ruins and hidden coves. One of Tuscany's most untouched secrets, accessible only by private boat.

What to expect

Your skipper navigates the protected Tuscan Archipelago to Giannutri, the southernmost and most pristine of the islands. You'll snorkel translucent bays where Roman columns and mosaic fragments lie just metres below the surface. Back on deck, aperitivo and fresh local produce are served as you drift in the afternoon sun. The return sail along the Argentario coastline at golden hour is simply unforgettable.

Good to know

Full-day trips typically depart 09:00 and return by 17:00 — comfortable margin before most all-aboard times. Pre-book directly as summer slots fill weeks in advance. Bring reef-safe sunscreen; the marine park enforces environmental rules.
