How should you choose an area?
Filicudi Island includes two distinct areas, Filicudi Porto and Le Punte. Compare them before booking kayak, paddleboarding, Excursion en bateau, because access and conditions may differ. At Filicudi, hydrographic notice 21.31/2024, repeated in the 2026 compilation, prohibits transit, stopping and operations in safety areas extending to 150 m around Grotta del Bue Marino, Scoglio Giafante, Punta dello Zucco Grande, Scoglio la Canna, Punta Stimpagnaro, because of rockfalls. Do not enter these areas; an operator’s approval does not override the prohibition. Routes elsewhere along the coast require separate checks against maritime notices.
