Fun, relaxing and informative sunset cruise - Friendly and pleasant staff with great communication! Excellent navigation and informational tour of the caves. Gave us the time to relax and enjoy the sites, including swimming in a bay. Lots of food, fruit and drinks for both adults and kids. Recommend an evening booking in the summer to enjoy both the weather and the sunset.

Don’t miss the opportunity to see stunning Polignano e Mare on Blue Wave! - Our private boat excursion from Monopoli to Polignano e Mare was absolutely incredible! It was by far above and beyond any of our expectations. Francesco was a skilled skipper and we felt at ease as we explored the stunning coastline and grottos. He was also a great bartender as well ;). This was one of the highlights of our first trip to Puglia, made even better by Francesco and Elisa providing us with historical details and information about the beautiful vistas in this very special part of Italy. We enjoyed aperitifs on board the boat and swimming in the grotto was an unforgettable moment. We highly recommend chartering Blue Wave Escursioni if you find yourself here. Seeing Polignano from the water is a unique experience you shouldn’t miss!
