Day boat trips from Anzio and Nettuno

Nettuno

Nero built his villa on the water at Anzio and the sea has taken most of it back; the short trips go out past what is left. The long ones keep going, to Ponza and Palmarola or down the coast to Sperlonga.

How the day goes

  1. Board in the morning at the Nettuno marina or in the Anzio harbour.
  2. Along the coast past Torre Astura and the Grotte di Nerone.
  3. On the long days the boat crosses to the islands and comes back with the light.

The island runs mean a full day and a fair stretch of open sea, which is worth thinking about if swell tends to bother you.

Where it is
