Details
Our private catamaran trip to the Polignano sea caves is the perfect combination of the comfort and luxury of our sailing catamarans and the natural sights that will delight your eyes. The apéritif we will offer on board will make this unforgettable experience with us even more complete.
Departure is scheduled from the Cala Ponte marina, which we will see getting smaller and smaller as we head towards the destination of our trip. A succession of coves and beaches, including the beautiful Cala Paura, will alternate along the way, before our arrival at the caves of Polignano a Mare. Our experienced skipper will determine the most appropriate itinerary depending on weather and sea conditions, but the caves we will undoubtedly try to visit are Grotta dei Colombi, Grotta degli Innamorati, Grotta delle Monache and Grotta delle Rondinelle.
The time will come to visit one of Salento's most famous attractions, Lama Monachile. This place has been shrouded for years by an unmistakable charm conferred by the perfect harmony between rural architecture and the thousand shades of the sea and the Mediterranean scrub. Here, in fact, you can admire sheer cliffs overlooking the turquoise sea embellished by a row of pretty houses built in Lecce stone.
Throughout the day, you can arrange stops for swimming and snorkeling with the captain, and try your hand at a nice SUP session with the boards you will find on board. We will enjoy an apéritif and toast to the good times spent together, before our return to Cala Ponte marina.

The boat tour was great! I booked for a bachelorette party, the bride loved it and it was the 1st goal 🙂
First, I booked a catamaran but it wasn't available anymore. Rent me Charter suggested a motor boat as an alternative. Finally, the boat was amazing, even bigger, cleaner and classier than any other boat on the guided tours I found on the internet.
The staff was very kind and understandable - they let us having our own music. Thank you very much!
