Overview

We start from the marina Cala Ponte Marina, here you can enjoy private changing rooms, and toilet facilities. You can also leave your luggage or strollers at the ticket office in total safety. Both before and after the tour, you can enjoy the marina bar with a beautiful sea view.
You will board a brand new 7.5 motor boat with awning for shaded areas, large wooden beach and comfortable ladder for direct access to the sea. The tour lasts about 2 hours and has a maximum capacity of 10 people on board. It will take you through all the caves and blades of Polignano admiring the very high rocky coast with houses built overhanging the sea. You will see Grotta Palazzese, the beautiful monk's blade, the fascinating hermit's rock, the seafront lookout, the characteristic seaweed port, the romantic love cave and much more, between aperitif and dip.
