With its 633 km of coastline and its many islands, Tuscany offers so many possibilities to those who wish to set off on a boat tour. From the Argentario, through the Maremma, and again to the Tuscan Archipelago, this region is a continuous source of surprises. With its variety and richness, it manages to please sea adventurers, mountain enthusiasts and lovers of art cities alike.

The Elba Island and the Giglio Island are among the most popular destinations for boat tours. On the other hand, those looking for less touristy destinations can visit the islands of Montecristo and Capraia, where nature reigns almost completely untouched.

In addition to the islands of Tuscany, you can take wonderful sailing tours along the coast of Grosseto e Livorno, all the way to the Cinque Terre. All you need to do is choose the port of departure and your preferred itinerary. The colors of the sea and nature, the postcard landscapes and the good Tuscan cuisine will truly make the experience special.

Tuscany boat tours: guide of the islands

When it comes to boat tours in Tuscany, one can only start with the islands. With seven major islands, three minor islands and dozens of reefs and islets, the Tuscan Archipelago is a popular destination for adventure-seekers. Difficult to visit in a day, the Tuscan Archipelago requires at least a weekend to be enjoyed to the fullest.

Elba Island is the most well-known tourist destination, followed by Giglio Island, and needs no introduction. Its smaller and more remote sisters such as the islands of Gorgona, Pianosa, Giannutri, Montecristo and Capraia are less well known but equally fascinating.

Gorgona is the smallest and northernmost island. Since it is the site of a prison, boat tours prohibited and it can only be visited in the company of licensed tour guides. Capraia is an island of volcanic origin, very rich in vegetation and also rare endemic species. Pianosa is completely uninhabited and can receive a limited number of tourists to preserve the special ecosystem.

Montecristo Island is the most fascinating and legendary, not only because it is the setting of Alexandre Dumas’ famous novel, The Count of Monte Cristo, but also because it is a protected area with severe restrictions on tourism. Finally, Giannutri Island is the southernmost island and is of particular interest to scuba divers, as are Pianosa and Elba.

A boat tour to discover Argentario

Argentario is one of the best destinations for full-day boat tours. It is a promontory in the Maremma region of Grosseto, is a popular tourist destination and is an internationally important center for sailing and yachting. Orbetello, Porto Ercole and Porto Santo Stefano are all must-see Argentario resorts.

For a boat tour of Argentario, you can start from Porto Santo Stefano and sail all around the promontory until you reach Porto Ercole, on the opposite end. The coastline offers wonderful inlets, bays and hidden coves, accessible only by sea. Just remember to bring a mask, fins and snorkel to swim in the crystal clear waters and admire in the marine wildlife.

Tuscany: how much does a boat tour cost?

The price for a boat tour in Tuscany depends on the itinerary, duration, and type of boat. For example, a full-day trip to Argentario costs 60 euros per person, with lunch and open bar included.

Of course, there are options for all tastes and budgets: boat trips with lunch or dinner, sunset tours with aperitifs, weekend mini-cruises, week-long sailing vacations, and full tours of the Tuscan Archipelago and the Tyrrhenian Sea.

Boat tours in Tuscany: the perfect gift for sea lovers

A boat trip is a welcome gift for everyone: you relax, visit dreamy places, enjoy the sea breeze, swim and sunbathe away from crowded shores. Who wouldn’t like that? So, for a loved one’s next birthday, you can consider gifting a day out at sea in the Argentario or Elba Island, perhaps opting for an aperitif or lunch option to make the experience even more complete.

Lovers of extravagant ideas may choose a weekend-long sailing tour or a mini-cruise in the Tuscan Archipelago National Park as a wedding gift or perhaps to celebrate an anniversary or bachelor/bachelorette party in a very special way.

04 Sep 2026 | Motorboat tour of the Island of Elba: Sant'Andrea, Wreck of Pomonte and Blue Grotto

Well worth a try!!

A lovely boat trip, with spectacular views of the wild coastline from the sea – including swimming spots offshore, along the coast and at the Blue Grotto – and friendly, welcoming staff. A brilliant experience.

09 Sep 2026 | Mini motorboat cruise to the islands of Giglio and Giannutri with lunch

A WONDERFUL AND WELL-ORGANISED CRUISE

Perfectly organised – the cruise is truly lovely and lets you see two fantastic places. The lunch is very good and plentiful, well worth a mention, as is the crew, who are polite, friendly and professional. Well done again, and to anyone who’s in two minds about whether to book or not, bear in mind that if you don’t go, you’ll be missing out on something wonderful. There’s just one slight drawback: the atmosphere in the saloon could do with a bit more liveliness, lads. If I may offer a bit of advice, set off half an hour earlier and return half an hour later, so you can spend an extra hour or so on Giannutri.

07 Sep 2026 | Boat tour to the Bue marino cave of Elba Island

Boat trip along the eastern coast of Elba

A small-boat excursion that guarantees a peaceful experience. Perfect for families too. Unique views of Elba’s eastern coastline, with a focus on its mining history. The guide also gave us interesting information about the fish and marine life. Brilliant snorkelling. Highly recommended!
