Secluded coves and crystal waters
Giannutri’s shoreline is a succession of small, sheltered calette where the tour schedules multiple swimming stops and opportunities to admire the unspoiled marine environment.
Roman vestiges on a tiny island
Among the island’s notable sights is the villa of the Domizi Enobarbi, a Roman-era residence dating to the 1st–2nd century A.D., a cultural anchor to pair with the natural scenery.

The private cruise offers a full periplo of Giannutri, including stops in multiple bays with the option, on request, to moor and go ashore to explore trails and viewpoints such as the island’s high point.
