What you can expect

Depart from the charming harbour of Monopoli aboard a fully private boat reserved exclusively for your group of up to 10 guests. This refined coastal experience is designed for travellers seeking privacy, comfort, and a personalised pace while discovering one of Southern Italy’s most spectacular shorelines.

After a warm welcome and safety briefing from your professional skipper, begin cruising along the Adriatic coast, where dramatic limestone cliffs meet crystal-clear waters. Relax on comfortable sun loungers or under shaded areas as the boat glides towards Cala Corvino, a pristine bay ideal for your first refreshing swim.

Continue north towards Porto Alga and the enchanting Grotta degli Innamorati, known for its striking rock formations and turquoise reflections. As you navigate further along the coastline towards Polignano a Mare, you will discover a series of natural wonders accessible only by sea.

Admire the mysterious Grotta delle Monache, steeped in local legend, and pass by the secluded Isola dell’Eremita, a small rocky outcrop surrounded by vivid blue waters. One of the most iconic highlights of the tour is the majestic Grotta Palazzese, carved into the cliffside beneath the historic centre — a world-famous symbol of Apulia’s coastal beauty.

The journey continues to Lama Monachile, Polignano’s most photographed beach, where towering cliffs frame a narrow inlet of luminous water. Here, you can swim, snorkel, or simply relax while taking in the breathtaking scenery.

Throughout the cruise, enjoy a curated tasting of authentic Apulian specialities, including freshly baked focaccia, traditional taralli, seasonal local products, and a selection of alcoholic and non-alcoholic drinks. On the 6-hour and 9-hour experiences, the culinary offering is enhanced and served in a more relaxed, immersive setting.
Your knowledgeable skipper will share insights into the region’s history, geology, and maritime culture, enriching the experience with stories and local expertise. The boat is equipped with sunbeds, shaded areas, a swim ladder, onboard music system, and all required safety equipment.

Perfect for couples, families, friends, or special celebrations such as birthdays, anniversaries, or intimate gatherings, this private tour offers an elegant and authentic way to explore the coastline between Monopoli and Polignano a Mare — far from the crowds, fully at your own rhythm.
