THE PRIVACY

A private, group‑only cruise

The experience is run exclusively for your group: a private boat dedicated to your party with space to relax, shaded seating and time on deck away from the crowds.

THE HISTORY

Grotta di Tiberio and coastal monuments

The route puts you beside the Grotta di Tiberio and the remnants of the Roman imperial villa, passing medieval towers and the Montagna Spaccata at Gaeta—landmarks that tie the coastline to local history and legend.

THE WATER

Multiple swim stops in protected waters

You’ll make several swimming and snorkeling stops (typically four to five, adjusted for sea and wind), including a planned stop at the luminous Grotta Azzurra and visits to marine features inside the Monte Orlando reserve.
