Top Bari Sailing Tours

Polignano a Mare is one of the most picturesque fishing villages on Puglia's coastline and the best way to admire the town and explore its famous coastal caves is by sea. Set off from Cala Ponte for a boat tour along this pretty stretch of the Adriatic Sea, stopping to peek into sea grottoes, take a dip in hidden coves, and relax and sunbathe on board.

The sea caves around Polignano a Mare have extraordinary history, from a secret cinema to a sea bathing establishment. Discover them in comfort when you book this stylish cruise, which includes a swim stop and a simple Italian “aperitivo”: a glass of prosecco and some crackers. Capture magical photos of cliffs, islets, and more as you sail. Upgrade to include round-trip transfers from your Polignano a Mare address.

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.
