EXCELLENT CHOICE

Three hours spent quickly; this happens when the time is quality. Mino, the skipper, was up to the task in illustrating the history and curiosities of the place and the coast during the navigation, in addition to two ideal stops where we enjoyed a swim in crystal-clear waters. The aperitif at the end of the tour was very welcome. Absolutely recommended. GREAT JOB

Great relaxation and swim

The tour was so relaxing, educational and beautiful all at once! I went with my husband, my brother and my father - and it met all our expectations. The skipper was knowledgeable and very personable; we stopped in two different spots to swim & he never rushed us. And the apperitivo was a nice touch! The boat was also spacious but not too crowded with a perfect mix of seating under the shade, or to lie out on the deck!

Grazie mille per le belle parole! Sapere che il tour ha soddisfatto le vostre aspettative è per noi la soddisfazione più grande. Grazie ☀️🌊

Perfect day on a boat

We spent a beautiful and very relaxing day. There was a calm and pleasant atmosphere on board. Riccardo welcomed us with an excellent Salento-style aperitif and took us to the most beautiful bays for swimming. He was always kind, helpful, and attentive to making sure we were comfortable. You can tell he loves what he does and that makes the experience even better. We had so much fun and can only recommend it to everyone. Thanks again, Riccardo! If we return to Salento, we will definitely go on another trip with you.

Operator response

Grazie 😍 Sapere che avete trascorso una giornata di relax e che Riccardo vi abbia fatto sentire a vostro agio ci rende davvero felici. vi aspettiamo per un’altra uscita in mare quando tornerete nel Salento! 🌊☀️Un saluto da Riccardo ❤️

Great boat day!

Had the best boat day! Was very relaxing, nice small group with room on the boat. Learned lots and had time to swim in two different spots. The captain was great, I was by myself and he was very nice and welcoming and didn’t mind taking a bunch of photos for me!
