At Marina Yachting Caporais (Lungomare Marconi, 11 Darsena, Gallipoli LE)
Do not miss the opportunity to explore the beautiful Salento coastline with our sailboat trip departing from Gallipoli! On board, you will also have the opportunity to taste local specialities during our rich apéritif. Our spacious and comfortable sailboat offers a relaxing and enjoyable experience as you cruise along the stunning coastline.
Depending on the wind and sea conditions, the itinerary will head either south towards Punta Pizzo beach (known as the "Caribbean beach") and St. Andrew's Island, or north towards Porto Selvaggio and Torre Uluzzo. Each route offers breathtaking scenery, crystal-clear waters, and a unique perspective of Salento's coastline, with destinations that can only be fully appreciated from the sea.
If the southern route is selected, you will discover the beautiful St. Andrew's Island, where you can swim or snorkel in its crystal-clear waters, and admire the historic Torre Pizzo, an ancient coastal watchtower standing guard over the beautiful sandy beaches.
If conditions favour the northern route, you will sail towards the natural oasis of Porto Selvaggio, renowned for its pristine waters and lush pine forest, before reaching the impressive cliffs of Torre Uluzzo, a spectacular stretch of coastline rich in history and natural beauty.
Throughout the tour, you will have multiple swimming stops and the opportunity to try stand-up paddleboarding (SUP). This tour is ideal for anyone looking to enjoy a day of relaxation and adventure on the water.

With the beauty of the two out of four places we were supposed to visit still fresh in our minds (so seven hours on the boat, but only half the itinerary completed, considering that the weather was excellent in July 2026 and nothing prevented us from completing the entire itinerary we paid for; we didn't see Porto Selvaggio and Torre Uluzzo listed on the program), I can say that Gina was an excellent skipper who put us at ease. The aperitif was decent but objectively not very rich, just taralli, olives, nachos, smoked scamorza, and a few pieces of peach.
We had a wonderful day! The kids (5 and 6 years old) also enjoyed themselves. We definitely recommend it!
A great experience, Gina was always ready to assist us, and the boat was a beautiful "free soul," whose name alone speaks volumes. We highly recommend it. I'll give my phone number to all my friends if they come.
