Good to know

This works well for small groups, families and couples seeking a flexible, private boat experience without a fixed schedule or crowded group dynamic. It suits all fitness levels; children and infants are welcome, and the boat is wheelchair accessible. Be aware that the entire excursion must depart from and return to Ponza — the operator does not pick up from Anzio, Terracina or San Felice Circeo, so you'll need to arrange your own transport to the island first. Weather can affect the route, so itinerary changes are possible. Beverages and snacks are not included unless ordered separately. Group size varies; confirm numbers when booking.
