Boat en Sperlonga

Boat trips from Sperlonga harbour and from Gaeta along the Riviera of Ulysses: caves, coves and the Montagna Spaccata.

## Who they are

Sperlonga Escursioni is a sea-excursion company based in the small harbour of Sperlonga, on the Lazio coast, halfway between Rome and Naples. On its website they say it was born from a passion for the sea and for the coast of the Riviera of Ulysses, the stretch of shoreline between Terracina and Gaeta, and that it has worked for years on trips close to the coast. It does not publish who founded it or in what year. Its best-known boat is the Maria Consiglia, a traditional fishing boat converted to carry passengers, and it also hires out boats and inflatables to those who want to go out on their own.

Away from the sea, the company organises guided visits to the white village of Sperlonga and its archaeological area, that of Tiberius's villa, taxi transfers, group trips and special commissions: stag and hen parties, marriage proposals, company events and tailor-made outings.

## What it offers and where

The activity is split between two harbours. From Sperlonga leave the short mini-cruise to the Grotta Azzurra, the tours of the coves and caves towards Gaeta and the private boat for the whole day. From Gaeta leave the routes of the Montagna Spaccata, the Serapo ship and the Pozzo del Diavolo, and the Riviera of Ulysses as far as Sperlonga. On all the tours there are stops for swimming in clear water; on request, aboard the Maria Consiglia you can eat a first course prepared with the day's catch.

The season is summer and the good-weather months; the company does not publish a fixed calendar, so it is worth checking the available dates in the booking system. Nor does it publish boat capacities or a minimum age: if you travel with small children, ask by email before booking.

## Bookings, payments and cancellation

You book on their website, through FareHarbor, or by writing to their email. According to their conditions, tours are paid in full when booking, and boat hire with a 30% deposit. You can cancel by giving notice at least 24 hours before; the amount paid is refunded on the agreed first working day. If you cancel for personal reasons outside that period, there is no refund. When the weather is bad, the company decides together with the port authorities whether the outing is suspended.

On rentals without a skipper, the client pays for the fuel; the boats are tracked by satellite and there is phone assistance in case of breakdown.

## Languages and tips

The website is in Italian and English; it does not say in which languages the commentary on board is given, so it is worth asking when you book. Bring a swimsuit, towel, sun protection and something warm for the return in the late afternoon. In August, and especially around Ferragosto, the boats fill up: book several days ahead.
