Description

The dramatic cliffs of Polignano a Mare are impressive from land, but the real magic begins when you see them from the sea. Board your private boat and set off along one of Puglia’s most spectacular stretches of coastline, where limestone cliffs rise above the Adriatic and mysterious caves open directly onto the water.

With your professional skipper, cruise past the famous Lama Monachile beach, the remarkable Grotta Palazzese, and a succession of beautiful sea caves, rocky coves, and secluded bays stretching towards Monopoli. Along the way, hear the stories and curious facts that make each place unique, while enjoying the freedom of exploring the coast from your own private boat.

When the water becomes too tempting to resist, stop in a beautiful bay for a swim and some snorkeling. Back on board, relax with a traditional Italian aperitivo featuring mozzarella, focaccia, taralli, and a selection of drinks. Four hours of coastal discoveries, swimming, and delicious Puglian flavors, all enjoyed together at sea.

Meeting point: Cala Ponte Marina, Via S. Vito, 70044 Polignano a Mare.
