Definitely one of the most memorable experiences of our trip to Puglia, Italy. The owners Francesco and Eriza expertly navigated the comfortable boat through the coast line from Monopoli to Polignano a Mare, entering and explaining details about all the amazing grottos. They picked us promptly at the pier and communicated in advance. Once in Polignano a Mare, we dropped anchor in a private marina and they gave us time to swim in the wonderfully fresh and clean waters while they prepared a nice appetitive with focaccia and Prosecco. They played the music of our choice and took many wonderful pictures. They are warm and proficient. Highly recommended.

We loved everything! The guide, Francesco, was very kind and entertaining. The trip was nice, the snacks and drinks were a pleasant surprise, the duration is excellent. One minus: the canopy was broken, so there wasn't a lot of shade on the boat. If you are sunburnt, it's not very comfortable to be on a boat. 😅 Otherwise, I highly recommend it!!

Beautiful tour of the caves & Polignano a Mare. Great swimming stop in clear water. Thanks to our host who shared facts about the different places we saw. Nice to have snacks & Prosecco but would’ve loved a little more offered to drink, just ended up being one small cup!
