Dario Vecchio, since 1989 carries out tourist trips and boat excursions in Gaeta
Gaeta is a peninsula, as I use to call it a "spit" of land in the middle of the sea, seeing it from the sea helps to understand its particular morphology which makes it breathtaking. From the sea you can get a different perspective of the Gulf and the coast
