Argentario is a paradise for lovers of the sea and sailing, but also for trekking and history enthusiasts. There are several paths surrounded by wild Mediterranean scrub, Spanish forts and ancient watchtowers. With a sailboat charter in Argentario, you can discover the coast and the wilderness of the Maremma, the flat region that stretches from southern Tuscany to northern Lazio. After visiting the two towns of Argentario, Porto Santo Stefano and Porto Ercole, you can sail to the coves of the island of Giglio.

Useful tips for sailing to Argentario by sailboat
Although you can sail all year round in the Tuscan Archipelago region, the best season is from May to October, with summers that are never stifling thanks to the constant winds.
