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.

18 Jul 2026 | Boat tour of the Pomonte Wreck on Elba Island

An experience not to be missed!

We had a brilliant time on board! The crew were friendly, professional and knowledgeable, and the stops for a swim were just the right length to enjoy an afternoon unlike any other. Highly recommended!

19 Jul 2026 | Boat tour to the Bue marino cave of Elba Island

A wonderful experience, culture and fun on a boat!

An experience we’ll cherish forever! The Grotta del Bue Marino and the Baia dei Gabbiani are marvellous, but it’s Flavio who really makes all the difference. As well as being a diving instructor, he is a certified nature guide for the Region of Tuscany, and his knowledge of Elba’s history and marine biology shines through in every explanation. Whilst snorkelling, he shared his research with us and helped us see the sea in a whole new light. All this with great kindness, friendliness and helpfulness. As a very welcome final surprise, he even treated us to a sweet snack. You can really sense the love he puts into his work and the passion with which he showcases his local area. An authentic experience that we’d recommend to anyone visiting the Island of Elba!

16 Jul 2026 | Sunset boat tour with fishing experience and dinner on Elba Island

Unforgettable

Captain Gaetano and his colleague Ignazio gave us a wonderful experience. The chance to enjoy an aperitif at sunset whilst fishing for our own dinner made this a unique experience, leaving us with a lovely memory of our holiday. HIGHLY RECOMMENDED.

05 Jul 2026 | Boat trip and snorkelling at the Blue Grotto on Elba Island

Definitely worth doing again!!!

An unforgettable day. Flavio, the guide, was truly very, very knowledgeable and perfect for these educational excursions. The boat was, incidentally, spotlessly clean – unlike others I’ve seen – and equipped with drinks, wetsuits and sanitised masks, and the company was excellent. We visited some truly remarkable spots teeming with fish. The excursion is definitely suitable for all ages. Nothing to complain about – we’ll be back sooner or later!! Well done again on the guide’s knowledge and expertise.
