Porto Santo Stefano (ITPSS)

Porto Santo Stefano, located on the coastline of Tuscany, serves as a maritime gateway, primarily catering to passenger vessels. The port is a popular tourist destination and offers daily passenger services to the islands of the Tuscan Archipelago. The port primarily services visits to the island of Giglio and Giannutri, making it an ideal starting point for island excursions. In addition to its role as a tourist hub, Porto Santo Stefano plays a crucial part in the local economy through its fishing activities. The port is home to the largest fishing fleet in the province of Grosseto, with local fishermen primarily engaged in trawling along the coast. In addition to its commercial and fishing activities, Porto Santo Stefano is a haven for recreational boating. The port boasts a variety of mooring options, attracting private vessels and yachts. Furthermore, within the port area, a dedicated shipyard provides essential services for sailing vessels and specialises in the restoration of vintage boats.
