Port of Departure: Porto Santo Stefano
The main embarkation point for reaching the island of Giglio is Porto Santo Stefano, located on Monte Argentario. From here, two main shipping companies, Toremar and Maregiglio, offer ferry services linking the mainland to the island. With a navigation of just 60 minutes, you can cover the 15 kilometers that separate the island from the mainland, arriving directly at Giglio Porto, the only port on the island. It is important to note that there are no connections as fast as hydrofoils.

Schedules and Reservations
Ferry times vary according to season and demand. It is always advisable to consult the timetables in advance, especially during the tourist season. For those who want to bring their car to the island, it is strongly recommended to book a seat on the ferry, especially if you are traveling on weekends, holidays or in July and August. The same recommendation also applies to the return journey, especially on Sunday afternoons.

Rates
Ferry fares vary according to the season and the type of vehicle or number of passengers. For example, a ticket for an adult can cost between €13 and €16, while transporting a car shorter than 4.50 meters can range between €45 and €63. It is possible to consult and purchase tickets online through the booking system provided on the site.

Vehicle Traffic Limitations
During the central weeks of August, there is a restriction on the influx of motor vehicles to the island. This means that only those who stay on the island for at least four nights can bring their car or motorcycle with them. However, a self-certification must be completed to confirm the length of stay.
