We had the absolute best time on our boat tour along the Adriatic! Captain Gianni welcomed us on board with a smile and showered us with attentive service while on board. Highly recommended this tour!!





A quiet escape on the Apulian Adriatic, aboard our authentic Fratelli Aprea 36. Lovingly built on the Sorrento coast, its curved teak lines, handcrafted details, and shaded loungers invite immediate ease, setting the rhythm for a day of calm. Gliding along the coastline, you’ll pass evocative stretches near Egnatia, Monopoli, and Polignano a Mare, with time for leisurely swims in crystal-clear coves or a gentle paddle on a SUP. Guests are welcomed on board with fresh seasonal fruit and a refreshing drink, while soft drinks are available throughout. A light land-and-sea aperitif inspired by Puglia’s finest flavors is served during the journey, with a selection of wines, cocktails, and beers available à la carte. Guided by a thoughtful captain, the experience unfolds effortlessly, leaving the quiet calm of the Adriatic with you long after returning to port.
From the operator’s live schedule on Viator, checked Oct 16.
A quiet fishing harbour where the journey begins, Savelletri sets the tone with its understated charm and gentle rhythm, offering a seamless and relaxed embarkation.
Seen from the sea, the ancient ruins of Egnazia emerge subtly along the coastline, a silent reminder of millennia of history where land and water have met since antiquity.
From the water, Monopoli reveals its most striking side: the dramatic outline of the old town, with white façades rising directly from the sea, shaped by centuries of maritime life.
Here the coast becomes sculptural, with limestone cliffs, sea-carved caves, and the presence of the Isola dell’Eremita creating one of the Adriatic’s most evocative seascapes.

We had the absolute best time on our boat tour along the Adriatic! Captain Gianni welcomed us on board with a smile and showered us with attentive service while on board. Highly recommended this tour!!
Our group of 6 had a great time on this boat with Captain Gianni. The boat was lovely and he kept the drinks flowing for our group, would highly recommend.
Thank you so much for sharing this. We’re very happy to hear that the six of you enjoyed your time at sea with Captain Gianni and felt so comfortable on board. We’ll be sure to pass your lovely words on to Gianni. It was a pleasure having you with us, and we hope your day along the Puglian coast is one of those moments that stays with you. Warm regards, Elyse
We booked the 7 hour boat trip to celebrate a special Bday. Elyse was very attentive with booking our requests. On arrival Giani our captain was wonderful, the perfect host; great food and music on board. Swan in some beautiful coves; such a memorable day. Thank you
Thank you so much for sharing your experience. We’re delighted that your day at sea became such a special part of the birthday celebration. It was a real pleasure creating this experience together with you, and we truly appreciated how communicative you were throughout the planning. We’re so happy that you enjoyed your time on board with Gianni and that the day turned into such a memorable one. Thank you again for choosing to celebrate this special occasion with us. We hope these memories of Puglia stay with you for many years to come. Warm regards from Puglia, Elyse
September 9th Left on time, on a very comfortable boat. The captain hardly said two words to us. Absolutely no information about the coastal areas we passed. For instance we entered and turned around in Monopoli harbour and out again without a word said. The captain dropped anchor at a swimming spot, again nothing! Proseco none, tea and coffee none. Basically an expensive boat trip, which could have been so much more.
Dear John, Thank you for taking the time to share your feedback. We are sorry to hear that your experience did not feel as engaging as you had hoped. We understand that, beyond the beauty of the coastline, the stories, atmosphere, and human connection on board can make a boat trip even more special. We were particularly sorry to read your comments about Captain Gianni, as his passion for the sea and his genuine care for guests are usually among the aspects most appreciated by those who sail with us. Interestingly, guests who shared the same boat experience that day described a very different impression, highlighting his kindness, his enthusiasm, and the pleasant conversations they had with him. Of course, we understand that every guest experiences a moment differently, and we appreciate you sharing your perspective. We would also like to clarify that the welcome drink included on board is Prosecco, and that coffee and tea facilities are available for guests throughout the cruise. Thank you again for your feedback. It is always valuable for us to understand how we can continue improving and creating enjoyable moments at sea. Warm regards, Elyse Experience Manager
I love uniquely beautiful experiences during my travels, and this cruise was the perfect choice. While seeing the sea from here is also fantastic, photographing the cities from the water shows everything from a completely different perspective.It is a gorgeous little boat with great music, beautiful views, and delicious bites.Gianni was very kind to everyone. He clearly loves being a captain and enjoys engaging with people, which is very important. I had some really nice chats with him along the way.
Dear Szidonia, Thank you so much for sharing your experience. We are delighted to hear that you enjoyed seeing the beauty of Puglia from the sea and discovering a different perspective of our coastline. Those quiet moments on the water are truly special. Captain Gianni will be very happy to read your words. His passion for the sea and his genuine connection with guests are a big part of what makes these experiences so enjoyable. It was a pleasure having you on board, and we hope to welcome you again for another beautiful day at sea in Puglia. Warm regards, Elyse Experience Manager Moments at Sea
Our captain Gianni, and the booking tour communicator Elyse did a wonderful job Communication was clear and concise via WhatsApp the meeting place location was very convenient. There was plenty of free parking in nearby streets. The tour was absolutely great plenty of time to enjoy the sea the boat itself is fabulous. Very calm wide body Italian style boat our half day Cruise was a lot of fun even though we had a share boat we met some interesting people we got to swim had a nice apéritif and a wonderful day on the water. Highly recommended if you’re in the Puglia region near this easy to get to small fishing village port book a ride. Very worthwhile trip and value $€ Afterwards there is a really nice beach club 5 minutes up the road LePalme add that to your trip to complete day. Note these are two separate businesses.

Wonderful boat trip with Gianni! We had such a wonderful day out on the boat with Gianni! He was incredibly friendly, welcoming and made the whole experience so enjoyable. We even had the very special experience of rescuing a sea turtle that needed help and taking it to the local animal hospital — definitely something we’ll never forget! The boat itself was modern, spacious and really comfortable, and we enjoyed plenty of Prosecco, delicious pizza and some lovely snorkelling along the way. It was the perfect combination of relaxing, exploring and having fun. We had a brilliant experience from start to finish and would absolutely recommend a trip with Gianni. Thank you for such a memorable day!
Thank you so much for sharing such a lovely review! We’re delighted to hear that you had such a memorable day on board with Gianni. The sea turtle rescue certainly made the experience even more special and unforgettable, and we’re so happy that the rest of the day — from the snorkelling and relaxing on board to the Prosecco and pizza — was just as enjoyable. Thank you again for your kind words and recommendation. We would love to welcome you back on board for another beautiful day at sea! Warmly, Elyse Experience Manager – Moments at Sea
Amazing moment relaxing enjoying our kids loved it and our little one called the Captain Gianni his “vacation best friend” Thank you for this great moment.
Thank you so much for your lovely review! We’re delighted to hear that you had such a relaxing and enjoyable time with your family. Knowing that Captain Gianni became your little one’s “vacation best friend” truly made us smile! 😊 It was a pleasure having you on board, and we hope to welcome you again for another special moment at sea.
Our boat trip with Captain Gianni was truly one of the highlights of our stay in Puglia. We departed from Savelletri and cruised along the beautiful coastline, passing Monopoli and Polignano a Mare. Along the way, Captain Gianni took us to several peaceful and crystal-clear swimming spots where we could relax and enjoy the sea. Seeing both towns from the water while listening to local Italian music made the experience even more magical. Captain Gianni was incredibly professional, friendly, and knowledgeable. He knew exactly where to take us and made us feel comfortable and well taken care of throughout the day. It was also a very special day because our son was celebrating his 4th birthday, and Captain Gianni went out of his way to make him feel special. Our son absolutely loved it, and it’s a memory we’ll cherish forever. The boat was equipped with paddle boards, which made the experience even more fun, and the food served on board was fresh, light, and perfect for a day at sea. Everything was thoughtfully organized, and we had such a wonderful, relaxing day. We couldn’t have asked for a better experience and would highly recommend this tour to anyone visiting Puglia. Thank you, Captain Gianni and Puglia Paradise, for an unforgettable day!
Dearest Ludovica, thank you so much for this wonderful review! We’re delighted that the boat trip became such a special part of your stay, and especially that Captain Gianni helped make your son’s 4th birthday unforgettable. We hope to welcome you back on board again soon! 😊 Warm regards, Elyse
Awesome trip! Thanks Gianni for your skill, humour and stories; truly inspiring!
Thank you so much! We’re very happy you enjoyed the trip and Captain Gianni’s company. We hope to welcome you on board again soon! 😊
