Perfect afternoon on the water
Rhiannon_D, October 2026
I ordered the pick up option from Polignano a Mare as the actual boat harbour is in San Vito which would otherwise be 50 minutes on foot from Polignano. The driver was waiting early in the waiting spot as intended, and we had a great chat, super friendly guy local to the area. The boat was comfortable but recommend sitting at the front (as I did) to avoid being splashed at the back of the back, front also best spot for photos. We had time for a quick swim at the end and they gave us generous prosecco. Beautiful tour and felt very comfortable as a solo traveller.

Great small Boat tour bigger isn't always better!
Elizabeth_M, October 2026
At first I was disappointed with the size of the boat there was 8 of us aboard, but it worked out fantastic. Our Skipper was able to manoeuvre our boat right into the caves where the bigger boats couldn't go, he was very skilled working with the waves. We enjoyed our drinks and nibbles and listening to the skippers commentary.
