Polignano a Mare - We enjoyed the 2 1/2 hour catamaran guided tour in Polignano a Mare. The boat was clean and spacious. Magda was very friendly and helpful. The snacks provided on board were good. Our two kids enjoyed taking a swim and using the paddle boards.

Great trip - Great catamaran trip! Magda and Daniel (sp?) were fab. Full of facts and stories, Magda took great photos, and the food and drinks were just right. Would definitely reocmmend.

Great excursion. Perfect... - Great excursion. Perfect amount of time on the boat, however, we wish we could have spent more time out on the water, and not anchored at the marina for swimming opportunities. But overall, it was a very nice excursion.

Fabulous time! - Magda and Davide were excellent hosts on the catamaran. It was comfortable for our group of 10 and had plenty of seating. The tour was two and half hours with a ride towards Monopoli and along the coastline. We stopped on the way back on the calm side of the harbor for a swim and paddle ride to explore the caves. The snacks and drinks were excellent. Next time, take the longer tour.

Great boat and crew - Easily the best boat on the water. Great boat ride. You don’t enter the caves, you see them from the water which is fine. We enjoyed drinks and a great deck. We swam off the stern, floated and cooled off. The guide and captain spoke perfect English and everyone on board had a great time.

Wonderful day on a catamaran - The catamaran tour by Almarano was very nice. Vittoriana became my favorite employee as she got me whatever I needed including more Prosecco. They provided us healthy snacks after we swam. They were professional and attentive. The boat was very clean and they gave us plenty of time to swim in the water. My favorite part was going by the caves and paddling around on the paddle board.

The best 75 euro you will spend in Italy - 03 June 2024: My wife and I booked this trip last minute (the night before) and I wasn’t expecting great things. I thought we would have a good time, but I wasn’t expecting the level of service and attention that the 2 person crew provided. Vittoria was lovely. She provided us with the history behind much of the area and was an all around delight. The boat can accommodate 10 guests, none of whom were Italian speakers. Her English was perfect and she was an attentive host. With 10 people on board, I was surprised that the boat was never crowded. We traveled the coast of Polignano A Mare south down to the northern edge of Monopoli and we established an anchorage near some amazing cliff faces that have been hammered by waves and created small caves into the cliff face. Two SUP (paddle boards) were on board, and I jumped on one quickly and headed to the caves. Meanwhile, Vitoria prepared focaccia, wine, soft drinks, beer, juice, and other tasty morsels for the guests to enjoy. Some swam, some just laid out on the trampoline and caught some rays, but we all enjoyed the beautiful day and amazing scenery. I don’t think there is a better way to spend 75 euro in Puglia. I am a sailor and we saw many smaller mortar boats, packed to the gills with people huddled shoulder to shoulder, and that looked absolutely dreadful. This cat is spacious, new and captain was a boss. While other captains were ripping through swell and other boat wakes, ultimately soaking the passengers, we all stayed quite dry. I recommend this trip highly.

A very relaxing magical day - The views, the catamaran were amazing I think the organizers on board needed to explain the scenery and history in more detail

Short and sweet - The views! The staff was excellent. The sea was a bit rough so unfortunately we were not able to venture very far but we had some wonderful views. A few too many people were on board so it’s not a very private experience and it could be a bit longer but we had a lovely time
