A must-do
Nice experience, highly recommended

Trip to Santa Maria di Leuca
Beautiful excursion carried out in the morning from 10 to 13. Erik illustrated the route and the caves present on both the Adriatic and Ionian sides with two stops to go swimming near some caves. Upon returning to the boat, a delicious snack with friselle and tomato accompanied by a drink or prosecco. Experience to try
F
Fantastic
Unique and unforgettable experience. Eric is a fantastic and helpful person; thanks to him, we were able to postpone the excursion to the same time (10-13) the following day compared to the initial booking due to an unexpected last-minute issue. The caves are stunning and the swimming stops in the crystal-clear water were fantastic. Abundant and delicious aperitif. I recommend goggles/mask and water shoes for the rocks.

Boat tour with Erik
Erik is very kind, friendly, hospitable, and attentive to the various needs of the clients; he offers explanations regarding the tour and more, such as general info for the vacation. The price is fair compared to others. I highly recommend it.

Boat trip 🔝
The trip with Eric was wonderful!!! New boat, comfortable for 10 people... He is a very kind and knowledgeable person, he explained everything we saw very well, and he was very attentive and caring even with our children. Rich and pleasant aperitif. I recommend it to anyone who wants to enjoy the wonders of Santa Maria di Leuca in peace and serenity.

Boy he deserves.
Excellent aperitif experience on board with tomatoes from his garden a little too "ripe" with extra virgin olive oil and so much oregano very abundant "too many" and taralli , chips on the boat too many things to eat, then drinking prosecco too cold a couple of degrees and other things to drink included in the price from Liguria I say from us would last a short time, thanks erik review made by Andrea .
