Disappointing - limited swimming

robert_h, Jul 2024

The people were nice and the boat was clean. The views from the water were beautiful. However, we were disappointed to find out that we were not allowed to get close to any of the caves or swim near them. The listing is misleading as it stated we would stop and swim several places. Instead we anchored 1 time around a lot of other boats and, surprisingly, on the outside of them so we were hit with quite a bit of heavy wake from fast moving passing boats. One of our friends is a boat Captain and was very shocked at the skipper's decision to anchor where he did. When we got to Monopoli (about 90 mins into the ride) my wife and I decided to get off the boat and not finish the tour. Our 2 friends stayed in the boat to go back and get our car. They also ended the tour 30 minutes early. The most frustrating thing is that the tour description is very misleading. We expected a wonderful private tour allowing us to see close up views.of the grottas and to be able.to swim, as the description states. Definitely would not recommend and would not pay for private. Would have been better off going on one.of the group tours. They cost a fraction of this tour and they were getting close.to the grottas!

Good evening and thank you for your review even if not positive, we are very pleased that the staff was very friendly and helpful towards you, and that the boat was in an excellent state of cleanliness and comfortable, however we regret your score and the fact that you claim that you were not allowed to swim in the caves or near them, we would like to point out that we have usually carried out a tour of the most beautiful caves in the area and the major points of interest as scheduled, we care a lot about safety of our guests and with the comings and goings of the boats that enter and exit the caves to visit them, it is not really feasible to bathe inside them because it is very dangerous, once the first part of the excursion was over we headed to a place sheltered from the waves of the sea with the obviously presence of other boats we are in summer we cannot send away the rest of the world we are in a tourist city and it is logical that it is full of boats and even less when he talks to me about the wake we cannot avoid that the nearby boats they circulate at sea we are not on the mainland since he has a captain on board he should understand certain things, once you had consumed your aperitif you fell asleep and the skipper set course towards south to Monopoli you slept throughout the entire stretch of coast and skipper deemed it appropriate to take you directly to Monopoli so as not to wake you up once you arrive and as per practice, we go around the port, he should have gone out to make another stop but he was not allowed to because you asked to get off and your friends despite if there was half an hour left they decided to return early to finish the tour, so much so that you seemed very satisfied with the tour and you left a large sum to the skipper as a tip, now we honestly think we did the best as usual and as all the others demonstrate our reviews, and we cannot understand your opinion we cannot compare ourselves to a classic tour of the cave because we work exclusively and there is much more time for relaxation and swimming if you decide to end a tour earlier unfortunately we can do nothing but please your decisions I hope to see you again soon so that you can change your mind and maybe receive a higher score cordially from the Punto Nautico Monopoli staff

Worth it!

Our skipper Pialo Franco was great. Everything was on time and since we arrived a little later we stayed on the water a little later. The swimming and sights were amazing. The aperitif was plenty and delicious.
