A relaxing day at sea with a small group! - Vito was so friendly and calm. It was the most relaxing time I had on my trip! I got to drive the sailboat and we also swam in the open sea. The music and snack were excellent. He also gave us good recommendations for eating in Bari. There are very few boat tours like this that leave from Bari port. This was one of my best experiences 👍👍👍👍

Sailing tour into the sunset - We had a great afternoon on the ship. The sunset on the ship was wonderful. Swimming off Bari was really fun. The Italian wine and focaccia rounded off the perfect trip.

Beautiful Day on the Water - This afternoon of sailing was perfect. We met some cool new people and got a break from the heat. The kids loved getting pulled by the boat and getting to swim in the Bay Area. The boat captain and his skipper we super nice and accommodating.

A Beautiful Experience! - We loved the boat, our crew, and the other guests. This was a real highlight of our trip to Bari. The sea was a little rough at first but we were able to wait it out and get in a nice sail. Vito provided a generously-sized snack of focaccia and wine. The dolphins didn’t show up hey the weather was beautiful and we had an excellent time. Vito even helped us get a cab back to Old Town. Tip: Getting there on foot from Old Town was a little weird. We did not feel like we could possibly be in the right place because we were walking along an industrial road. One of the other groups that shared our sail felt the same. The distance wasn’t that far but the area was not pedestrian friendly. I’d take a cab if I were doing it again. I still highly recommend this experience!

Wish I could relive this amazing day!! - ❤️I don't even know where to start !!! Vito and Alessandro were master sailors !! They took us on a beautiful adventure off the coast of Bari. We had a lot of laughs, listened to great music and learned so much about Bari. They really treated us and we got an incredible taste of the life of the dolce vita. I will never forget this beautiful day !!!! Thanks Vito !!! ❤️Non so nemmeno da dove cominciare!!! Vito e Alessandro erano maestri marinai!! Ci hanno portato in una bellissima avventura al largo di Bari. Ci siamo fatti un sacco di risate, abbiamo ascoltato ottima musica e abbiamo imparato tanto sul Bari. Ci hanno davvero trattati e abbiamo avuto un assaggio incredibile della vita della dolce vita. Non dimenticherò mai questa bellissima giornata!!!! Grazie Vito!!!

Great experience - I went on Vito's excursion with my partner and we had a great time. It's a great boat and Vito was a great host. Beautiful views all around. Driving the sailboat boat was also fun. I highly recommend it.

Great weather to sail on calm seas - Refreshing swim behind the boat on a short tow rope. Also we saw two solo dolphins at a distance. Tasty focaccia bread snack.

This was not what was advertised - I want to start by saying Umberto and his friend were very nice and the boat was lovely but it was simply not what we paid for. Bad signs started a week before the confirmed date when the owner reached out saying he wanted to change the date. I couldn't. I asked to cancel but he said he wanted to find more people for the date. Instead, it was just me and a friend. The ride was supposed to be 300 minutes (5 hours) and we were supposed to go looking for dolphins. Instead it was 3 hours. We barely sailed out of the harbor. I asked if we could go up and down the coast, we moved a little but that was it. It was definitely not worth what we were charged.
