This 90-minute private voyage takes you past the historic port and waterfront landmarks whilst a seasoned captain recounts tales of the region's maritime heritage.

What to expect
You'll board a classic fishing vessel and settle in for a relaxed coastal drift. The captain narrates as you glide past Bari's working port, its weathered buildings, and the curve of the seafront. The rhythm is gentle—engine hum, wave sound, the smell of salt and timber. About midway through, the crew serves drinks and snacks whilst you float and take photographs. Conversation flows naturally; there's no scripted commentary or forced stops. The experience feels lived-in rather than staged, a glimpse into how locals have moved through these waters for generations.
Good to know
Departs from the harbour near public transport links. Bring sun protection and a camera with good stabilisation for water shots. Not suitable if you have spinal injuries. Life jackets provided. Suitable for all fitness levels—you sit throughout.
