Adventure Tips
Bring sun protection
The sun deck offers little shade; a high SPF sunscreen and a hat are must-haves to avoid sunburn during the trip.
Pack a camera with waterproof case
The stunning cliffs, crystal waters, and rocky formations like the Faraglioni rock stacks make for unforgettable photos from on board or while swimming.
Arrive early to Marina Piccola
Check-in and boarding begin before the 9:00am departure; arriving early ensures a smooth start and best seating options on the boat.
Be prepared for moderate movement
Although the Sparviero 700 is stable and comfortable, some passengers may feel seasick in choppier waters; motion sickness remedies can help.
