Route guide

Porto Santo Stefano to Giannutri ferry

Porto Santo Stefano–Giannutri is the scheduled route to the small protected island south of Giglio. Toremar publishes a crossing of about 50 minutes, while Maregiglio describes its scheduled service as about one hour.

Maregiglio’s 2026 timetable operates on selected days throughout the year and adds extra days in the warmer months. Toremar also lists several weekly crossings, so travellers should compare the exact date rather than assume a daily service.

Giannutri is a protected, low-traffic island. Maregiglio states that private cars and motorcycles cannot disembark, except under specific resident arrangements, so this page should be planned as a foot-passenger journey.

Peak-season demand can reduce flexibility, especially on routes with only a few weekly sailings. Recheck the dated timetable shortly before travel and leave a realistic margin for port access and boarding.

When comparing departures, check the exact vessel type as well as the clock time. Fast passenger craft and conventional ferries can have different boarding procedures, vehicle rules and onboard facilities.

Travel information

Italian island ferry travel: identification, boarding and local restrictions

These are domestic Italian ferry journeys, but accurate passenger details and accepted identification are still required. Vehicle travellers must book the correct category and should check island-specific access rules, which can be more restrictive on protected or small islands than on the ferry itself.

Passenger identification

Use the passenger name shown on accepted identification and keep the document ready with the ticket or mobile boarding pass.

Vehicle rules

Where vehicles are accepted, book the correct dimensions and separately check any municipal or protected-island restrictions on disembarkation.

Boarding preparation

Confirm the operator, exact port, boarding point and check-in deadline. Low-frequency island routes justify extra margin because a missed sailing may not have an immediate replacement.
