What to Know Before You Go

Although the experience is fully customizable, there are a few things to know before boarding. The Blue Grotto is tide-dependent and may close in rough sea conditions or during high tide, so it's recommended to book a morning departure when access is more likely. Wear comfortable swimwear and bring sun protection—even in shaded areas, the sun can be intense on open water. While drinks and towels are provided, guests are welcome to bring their own snacks or ask about onboard picnic options in advance. All boats come with a certified captain, but the experience remains private and intimate, ensuring that you enjoy your own pace and preferences throughout the day.
