Boat Rental with Skipper - Giglio Island
Beach Shuttle Service, Boat Trips, Giglio Island Round Trips and Giannutri Tours
Majestic cliffs overlooking the sea, pristine coves of rare beauty, beaches with the most varied colors and caves hidden in the blue of the sea. The taxi boat service offers the opportunity to discover the natural beauties of the island seen from the sea, to travel its coasts by letting yourself be guided by a skipper (and sometimes and old sea wolves), to explore secret ravines, to know the history, in short, to visit the most beautiful of the island.
At Giglio there are many possibilities for excursions and boat trips, suitable for all types of needs and all ages. The captains of the taxi boats have thousands of miles of experience behind them, they know any weather conditions and they know every corner of the island: during the tour you will be able to learn about the local history and, at the same time, relax while admiring the breathtaking landscapes of the Island of Lily.
Most of the excursions and a roundtrip of the island by boat take place when the minimum number is reached, so you need to book in advance.

Excursions and mini-cruises
Excursions to discover the most beautiful coves of the Giglio Island with stops for snorkeling or simply relaxing surrounded by unspoiled nature. In addition, trips and mini-cruises are organized to the nearby island of Giannutri
Boat Round-trip of the island
The island of Giglio with only 28 km of coastline lends itself very well to being circumnavigated. A tour of the island offers the opportunity to discover the rich variety of environments and landscapes of the island from the sea. The tour lasts about 2-3 hours and includes a stop to take a dip in one of the coves.
Transfer from / to Porto S. Stefano
Some operators also offer transfers to or from Porto Santo Stefano. A private solution to avoid queues and scheduled times for ferries to take you comfortably to your chosen destination.

Giglio Porto
Giglio Campese
The small natural harbour “Porticciolo” in front of the Campese Tower is no longer used as a harbour. In 2023 the Guardia Costiera confiscated all the boats moored in the bay for “illegal use of the waters”, as officially there was no harbour. The boat hire companies that were still using the harbour were also reported in 2024. Since then, the last remaining operators have to anchor their boats in the bay and row out to pick up their customers.
