About the Rio Marina – Isola Di Pianosa crossing
Toremar provides the two daily sailings between Rio Marina on Elba and the island of Pianosa, with a crossing time of 1 hour 35 minutes. Both departures are scheduled close together in the morning; the first is at 09:15 and the second is at 09:20. This service runs every day across the Tyrrhenian Sea, covering a distance of approximately 20 nautical miles.
Timetable and Booking
The schedule is consistent throughout the week, with both morning sailings offered daily. Given the limited number of crossings each day, booking in advance is a practical consideration, particularly as Pianosa has restricted visitor access. The operator for this route is listed as Toremar, which is also known as Toremar Toscana Regionale Marittima.
Connecting Travel
The port of Rio Marina also has a ferry link to Piombino on the Italian mainland, which provides wider transport connections. Isola Di Pianosa's ferry services are limited to this single return route. Passengers planning a day trip should verify the return schedule from Pianosa to ensure a same-day connection is possible.
