History
Pantelleria is volcanic with long agricultural traditions—stone-built dammusi and terraced vineyards produce the island’s famed passito wines and unique pesto pantesco.
Conservation
The island’s marine zones include sensitive seagrass meadows; avoid anchoring on Posidonia beds, carry out rubbish, and use reef-safe sunscreen to reduce impact.
Reserve your spot on the Pantelleria Boat Tour with Lunch on Board today and enjoy a trusted, highly rated experience designed to help you make the most of your adventure.
Bring swim essentials
Pack a swimsuit, quick-dry towel and reef-safe sunscreen — many stops are off-platform swims with rocky entries.
Prepare for sun exposure
Use a wide-brim hat and sunglasses; the solarium is exposed and reflections intensify UV on calm days.
Pack motion-sickness remedies
If you’re prone to seasickness, take preventative medication or bring ginger tablets; the open sea can be choppier than it looks.
Tell the operator about allergies
Communicate dietary restrictions at booking so the kitchen can adapt the pantese lunch safely.
Swimsuit and towel
