How it works
Your perfect day
We pick you up
Transfer included in the price: we come to wherever you are in Argentario. For longer trips (Florence, Rome, Civitavecchia) arranged based on availability. We meet at Cala Galera, docks M1 and H1.
We set sail together
We choose the route based on weather and your wishes. Giglio, Giannutri, coastal coves, every day is unique.
Swim & snorkel
Three stops in crystal-clear waters. Snorkeling gear, SUP, seabob and inflatables, all on board, ready for you.
Lunch & espresso
Stops ashore at the local restaurants (we know them all and recommend the best). Or bring your own lunch on board: we set the table, pour the drinks and serve the aperitivo. And yes, we make espresso in the middle of the sea.
Hidden coves
Afternoons among the coves that only those who’ve known these waters forever can find.
Sunset aperitivo
Beer, wine, cocktails, taralli and snacks. The return becomes the most beautiful moment.
On board
What you can do at sea
You won't just sit around. The gear is already on board, ready for you.
For those who want to explore the seabed, for those who just want to float.
SUP
Stand-up paddle to explore coves and reach the perfect spot.
Seabob
The underwater scooter that pulls you just below the surface.
Snorkeling
Masks and fins for everyone. Seabeds full of colours and life.
Inflatables
Float, sunbathe, take a nap halfway in the water.
Extra on board
The eFoil that flies over the water
An electric board with a hydrofoil: you step on, ease into the throttle and the board lifts above the surface. No wind, no waves needed. We have one, and you can rent it on all three boats.
Free use, in open water.
Want to add the eFoil to your booking? Just write to us.

The highlight of my family's ten day trip to Italy. A four hour sail around Porto Ercole, and I'm still thinking about it.

The highlight of our vacation. Massimo and Sabina thought of every detail. A swim, a stop at Giglio, then back in the water.

Great snorkeling, a big eel, colorful fish and clear blue water. Then beer, drinks and food. The boat is smooth and comfortable.

A beautiful trip to Giannutri. Super comfortable RIB with cabin, toilet and everything for a day at sea. Skipper Massimiliano professional, helpful and discreet. We were six.
