Details

Set sail from the bustling harbor of Porto Santo Stefano, and find yourself immersed in the striking marine beauty of Giglio Island—an unspoiled gem in Italy’s Tuscan Archipelago. Maregiglio Yacht presents a private yacht experience that promises personalized luxury and access to hidden coastal treasures. As your boat glides along azure waters, you'll pass dramatic cliffs and secluded coves inaccessible by land, revealing the island’s rugged charm. Drop anchor in calm, crystal-clear bays perfect for snorkeling among vibrant marine life or lounging on deck with a chilled drink from the open bar. The option to indulge in a freshly prepared local lunch adds a genuine taste of Italian maritime culture.

Giglio Island is renowned for its untouched nature and dramatic coastline, where bold limestone cliffs plunge into the sea, creating perfect spots for swimming and photography. The island's quieter atmosphere contrasts with more tourist-heavy destinations along Italy’s coast, making it ideal for those seeking intimacy and adventure in equal measure. Because the yacht tour departs from Porto Santo Stefano—one of Tuscany's most iconic fishing harbors—guests enjoy the seamless blend of coastal city energy and pristine seascape.

What truly makes this experience stand out is the chance to customize your day—whether you want snorkeling, sunbathing, or simply soaking in scenic views with a fine Italian bite in hand. Maregiglio Yacht’s attentive service ensures a comfortable, luxurious journey that feels exclusive but accessible. For adventure seekers and relaxed observers alike, this trip offers a slice of oceanic paradise that captures the true spirit of Tuscany’s coastal wildness.

Whether your trip lasts a few hours or the entire day, this is a meaningful way to engage with Italy’s stunning waters and discover why makes Giglio Island a top destination within the Mediterranean’s outdoor activity scene.
