Yacht charter in San Felice Circeo

Where do yachts depart from in San Felice Circeo?

Charters in San Felice Circeo most often depart from the town’s port area and from nearby boarding points at Foce Sisto. The port is used for local boat hire and guided outings, especially for cave cruises and short coastal trips.

This makes it practical to choose between a relaxed town departure and a more route-oriented start closer to the waterline. The exact handover point depends on the operator and the boat.

Verified sailing times from the area include Ponza at about 1 hour 20 minutes and Palmarola at about 1 hour 45 minutes in favorable west wind conditions.

Shorter coastal runs also reach Terracina in about 25 minutes and Sperlonga in about 40 minutes. Those routes are the best fit for a one-day charter when you want more time swimming and less time underway.
