Description
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.

If the weather allows we can swim in the high seas, and the trolley a natural whirlpool because the most experienced will be pulled into the sea with the force of the wind.

Sunsets with your captain Vito
Vito was lovely, easy going and happy to chat and participate. Highly recommend, even without wind we had a beautiful time, the sunset was amazing!

Great fun day sailing with Vito
It was a great fun sailing with Vito, we had a great day: wether was amazing, so it was the sea not too rough and just enough wind to get by. As wind wasn't too strong we had the change to man the boat a little and help out setting the sails. Vito is very relaxed and made our journey enjoyable, we had a small group of 5 (6 with the capitain) all very nice and chilled. On our way back we enjoyed a great authentic focaccia barese with a few glasses of rosé wine :) highly reccommended for good fun!

Choppy water
Captain spoke little English so very difficult to communicate to include lack of safety advisements. Water was very choppy and several people got sick. Which also made it very scary since we had no idea where the life vests were. Also an hour late leaving as we had to wait for what I believed were the captain’s friends.
Operator response
Dear guest, I don't think my English doesn't allow me to converse. The only people who felt sick from the sea were two of your group, who also said they had eaten a lot that day. We left 15 minutes late, to wait for two late guests... it can happen! but the tour also lasted 1 hour longer, and I gave you all a 10% discount voucher to give to your friends.

An unforgettable sailing experience!
The sailing was just fantastic – even I was allowed to maneuver the boat myself, which was a real highlight! The skipper was a personable, humorous and relaxed type who took great care of the welfare of everyone on board. The atmosphere was pleasant and warm all around. Absolutely recommended for anyone looking for a special experience on the water!

A relaxing day at sea with a small group!
Vito was so friendly and calm. It was the most relaxing time I had on my trip! I got to drive the sailboat and we also swam in the open sea. The music and snack were excellent. He also gave us good recommendations for eating in Bari. There are very few boat tours like this that leave from Bari port. This was one of my best experiences 👍👍👍👍
