My experience on the catamaran was fantastic!
From the first moment, the crew welcomed us with a smile and a relaxed atmosphere. The stability of the catamaran made sailing pleasant, without jolts or hassles, allowing us to fully enjoy the view.
They Guided us to the most beautiful areas by guiding us and letting us admire Polignano from a unique perspective.
On board there was everything you need to relax: sunbathing areas, covered spaces to shelter from the heat and a fresh and delicious local aperitif service.
During the stop we could snorkel and especially Sup: with the board and the oars we reached a cave, it was very exciting.
The day ended admiring the sunset over Polignano as we returned to the port.
Greetings to the crew from Cuba and thank you 👋

03 June 2024: My wife and I booked this trip last minute (the night before) and I wasn’t expecting great things. I thought we would have a good time, but I wasn’t expecting the level of service and attention that the 2 person crew provided. Vittoria was lovely. She provided us with the history behind much of the area and was an all around delight. The boat can accommodate 10 guests, none of whom were Italian speakers. Her English was perfect and she was an attentive host.
With 10 people on board, I was surprised that the boat was never crowded. We traveled the coast of Polignano A Mare south down to the northern edge of Monopoli and we established an anchorage near some amazing cliff faces that have been hammered by waves and created small caves into the cliff face. Two SUP (paddle boards) were on board, and I jumped on one quickly and headed to the caves. Meanwhile, Vitoria prepared focaccia, wine, soft drinks, beer, juice, and other tasty morsels for the guests to enjoy. Some swam, some just laid out on the trampoline and caught some rays, but we all enjoyed the beautiful day and amazing scenery.
I don’t think there is a better way to spend 75 euro in Puglia. I am a sailor and we saw many smaller mortar boats, packed to the gills with people huddled shoulder to shoulder, and that looked absolutely dreadful. This cat is spacious, new and captain was a boss. While other captains were ripping through swell and other boat wakes, ultimately soaking the passengers, we all stayed quite dry. I recommend this trip highly.

The catamaran tour by Almarano was very nice. Vittoriana became my favorite employee as she got me whatever I needed including more Prosecco. They provided us healthy snacks after we swam. They were professional and attentive. The boat was very clean and they gave us plenty of time to swim in the water. My favorite part was going by the caves and paddling around on the paddle board.

Catamaran safe, spacious and comfortable. Professional, friendly and punctual staff.
The route is beautiful, with a distinct view of the caves and the city of Polignano. There is a dive stop, where snacks and drinks are also served (included). We chose the last time and return to sunset (high point!).

We loved this cruise so much! Most of our group were English speaking and our guide Magda did an excellent job giving us a brief description of points of interest. The food was delicious and we really enjoyed the swim too. The crew really enjoyed their job and created a fun and relaxing atmosphere on the boat. I would recommend booking the sunset cruise. It’s truly spectacular sailing into the sunset.

Beautiful catamaran tour! It starts from Cala Ponte Marina just north of Polignano a Mare. It runs along the entire coast of Polignano and you swim about an hour with the possibility to do sup! In the moment of the bathroom break of about an hour is served aperitif and then you return! Competent and helpful crew, a special thanks to the captain of the catamaran Daniele!

Beautiful half day on a private catamaran tour for our famiily of 5 with snacks and stops for a swim including the Grotta Palazzese to which we entered riding the 2 paddles available on the catamaran. The boat is clean. It looks new and well preserved. It's a good way to see the coast from the sea.

So good we did it twice! Our favourite activity was very relaxing and perfect amount of people on board. Guides were helpful and told facts along the way. When stopping in the sea there were paddle boards and other equipment! Food and drinks perfect, had a great time both visits. Special thanks to Magda!

This was so much fun we did it twice!! The staff were very knowledgeable, boat was clean, food was good, and it was easy to find. We were so impressed with it that we decided to re-book a few days later for a second round. Highly recommended!

Nice relaxing way to view the coastline from the sea. The hostess was very sweet and helpful. Aperitif was nice. Since we chose not to get in the sea for an swim, it was a bit longer with more time anchored than sailing. If you prefer more of a sail, you might choose a different option. The catamaran was clean and well maintained.

Hello, I am visiting the region in August and I am wondering how many passengers you need to sail as I am traveling with only 2 people. I was also wondering what would be a better time to sail with you, 14:30 or 17:30? Thank you, Maria.

Hello. We are a family of four planning a tour to Monopoli this June. We are looking for a boat ride with plenty of time for swimming 😊. Your catamaran trip looks great. However, how much time is available for swimming? How many passengers do you need in order to sail? Thanks. Br, Gøran
