The boat ride was one of the highlights of our family trip to Puglia. We were a family group of 9 that included two children (6 and 3 years old) and we weren't sure if the boat ride would be suitable for them but it ended up being their favorite activity..! The private boat ride for our group was perfect because we interacted during the activity and visited different caves. We even toasted with prosecco that Francesco our Captain provided and had a chance to take a quick dip into the Adriatic Sea...! Unforgettable. Definitely recommended.

Full description

Set sail along a stretch of the Adriatic Sea from Polignano a Mare to admire the coastal caves by sea. Stop to peek into sea grottoes like Grotta Azzurra, Grotta Piana, Cala Paura, and more. Take a dip in hidden coves with the floatation devices provided and enjoy an aperitif onboard. Explore the many caves that dot the coast of Polignano a Mare on a relaxing boat tour. Enjoy an aperitif, make frequent stops to swim in the crystal-clear waters, and soak up the dramatic views of the coast.

Stop for a swimming break in one of the most beautiful places on Polignano's coast and indulge in a delicious Prosecco-based aperitif during the cruise. Soak up the sunshine on deck or relax under a parasol. Take advantage of the ladders and floats for both adults and children.

Amazing scenery! Our guide was a young lad, who' was very happy to explain what we were looking, took our pictures and played fun familiar songs while cruising and served Prosecco and typical Pugliese crackers/biscuits. He also recommended nice restaurants for our lunch.

This was easily one of the top highlights during my entire one month stay in Bari. The caves/sea are beyond beautiful and the boat ride was absolutely lovely. Our guide, Alessandro, was incredible.
