Stunning Cruise - Stunning boat cruise up the Puglia coastline. The skipper pointed out landmarks, beaches and caves. The boat was comfortable and the skipper and first mate were very welcoming. We had Prosecco and Focacia and swam in the Adriatic. Unbelievable day.

Amazing & fun time on the water! - The vibe of this tour was immaculate. The comedy duo of Francesco & Cosmo was worth the price of admission. The scenery was beautiful, the music was pumping, the prosecco flowed and we had the most delicious focaccia we have ever tasted. The tour was informative & interesting with trips into many caves & a chance to swim in the beautiful Adriatic. Highly recommend!

Professionalism and personal care - I booked with my partner and my daughter , I must congratulate both the operators always available by phone for clarification and the captain of the ship, who at a time when my daughter and I were not very well because of rough seas, took care to drop us off at the port of Polignano immediately and booked a calessino to take us downtown taking charge of the cost of transport. Very kind and very prepared, recommended especially for the top professionalism of all the staff.

Bad weather meant trip was cancelled - Unfortunately there was bad weather which meant this trip had to be cancelled but the communication from the tour operator was excellent. We would recommend this trip because they obviously put safety before profit.

Good value and good fun on a lovely boat - We went on this trip yesterday. Lovely boat with choice of whether to sit in the sun or shade. Sailed right into the caves. Lots of fun with music, delicious food and informative, fun hosts. Great way to spend an afternoon in Monopoli.

Super fun trip - Had an absolute blast on our boat ride and tour of the caves. It was a bit choppy that day, but they did a great job maneuvering the waves to smooth out the ride. Got a good view of some of the key caves along the coast. Finished off with a fantastic, refreshing swim, and a generous serving of focacchia and bubbles! The crew was super friendly and kept the tunes playing the whole trip. Would definitely recommend! Very fun and relaxed atmosphere.

Rough Seas - Great experience. Water was too rough to make it all the way to Polignano a Mare. Turned around for our safety. Dropped anchor in Monopoli so that we could take a swim, share an Aperol Spritz, focaccia made by the driver’s mom! Then they refunded our money. Above and beyond!

Trip ok - Ok trip. I was expecting more beautiful views but not very pretty until we reached the caves after 40 mins. The boat seemed very overcrowded. Guide very personable.
