It is not the usual tour but a riot of emotions. Those who wish can participate in the maneuvers on board and in driving the sailboat. If the sea permits it, we play wonderful games by being towed with a rope by the boat pushed by the wind. The Apulian snack offered by the commander was excellent. We like to give advice to our guests on how to spend their holidays in Puglia well. If there is wind we will definitely go sailing, if there is no wind we will be able to swim peacefully in the blue waters of the Adriatic Sea.
