We were invited by Cosimo while we were on the beach, where he explained to us in detail everything we would do in the space of 4 hours. My partner and I gladly accepted because he wasn't pushy, in the afternoon we went to the port where the katamaran and the 2 captains Daniele and Antonio (I hope I didn't get the name wrong) were waiting for us, put on our slippers and set off to see the wonders of this place! We made 2 stops of 30 minutes each to take a dip in the crystal clear waters with lots of fish. We did the afternoon time where on the way back you can enjoy a breathtaking sunset, an excellent aperitif and lots of music! We really had fun, we sang and danced and found a really pleasant company to talk to, laugh and joke with! Really everything perfect to do again!

We arrive as a couple at the pier of the port of Torre Vado where the Katamarano we have chosen awaits us, after having been invited to the excursion by Cosimo, who pleasantly and kindly "recruits" us while we were on the beach sunbathing. At 3pm we set sail for the Ionian towards Santa Maria di Leuca. We were welcomed by two really nice sailors who put the whole crew at ease in a fun and joking way. The helmsman with a Popeye T-shirt stops the boat at times to be able to view the coast, the natural caves and the ruins of historical buildings while he distributes some explanations here and there, accurate albeit concise. The tour continues pleasantly until the first of the two "swim stops" in the clear and invigorating water, where there is no shortage of colorful fish to keep you company.
We arrive at the halfway point after about two hours, we have passed Santa Maria di Leuca and crossed the border between the Ionian and the Adriatic. The change in color of the water when the two seas meet is truly remarkable!
We are about to return, after about two hours of outward travel amidst waves and laughter, this time with the sun setting and the atmosphere created is truly beautiful: summer hits from the 80s-90s-00s galore, the sky taking on a new colour. of orange and red, and an aperitif with appetizers, melon, taralli, white and red wine, water and tea. It should be appreciated that fresh water and tea are made available immediately, so the atmosphere is accommodating even in the event that someone is not feeling well, the two sailors are really friendly and helpful.
Additional point for the crew we found, really nice and we all had fun dancing with a final group photo. Definitely worth doing again!! Boarding 🏴☠️

Departure in the afternoon at 3pm and return at 7pm, it's a shame that we had a somewhat rough day on the Adriatic side and didn't have the opportunity to get close to the caves, however the excursion includes a visit to the caves and two bathrooms and an aperitif offered by the staff with taralli and drinks... The cost for four people, two adults and two children is €90, as far as I'm concerned it's an excursion that must be done... Very knowledgeable staff... Recommended

Beautiful 4-hour tour on the Mediterranean catamaran. Excellent value for money: professional and very prepared crew (commander Daniele described the breathtaking caves of the Ionian and Adriatic and added many historical news, local curiosities and legends). Fresh and pleasant aperitif, music very appropriate to the trip (two hours soft and two to dance; very long stops (even the first hour) that allow you to visit the caves. Thanks to the captain's wife who accompanied us to the caves. Recommendation!

We did the excursion on Utopia, new and really nice boat, you pay fifteen euros more per person than the other boats, but the difference is there!!! nice and engaging all the crew 😊 included in the price there is a drink, a bag of taralli and other appetizers that you like to eat while sailing. My 11-year-old son enjoyed diving during the stops, I, decidedly quieter than him, explored with fins and mask. 4 wonderful hours!

beautiful experience on the Mediterranean Catamaran, very long stops to visit the caves (I lost my mask underwater at the first dive and the captain's wife fortunately was kind enough to recover it: thank you!). Bring your mask and fins so you can explore the seabed and crystal clear waters. Good aperitif and very good captain Daniele and Antonio. Tip: Keep it up!

We made the long trip. Spectacular Grottes and very very funny crew. It was a little more expensive than the others companies and don't speak English, but it worth it.
We will repeat!

We went on a windy day with quite some waves, and got a boat just for us (2 adults and 2 kids). Christian the skipper did a great job bringing us through the wavy sea to the different caves between Torre Vado and Leuca. We even stopped for a swim! After 2.5 hours we were back, totally enthused and satisfied. Summary: friendly, competent staff, and a fun excursion! An absolute recommendation.

I booked this minicruise via the GuideandGo website. It was 35 euros per person, paid at the time of booking. I received a phone call the following day (the day the trip was supposed to take place) from a woman stating the boat was not available and did I want to cancel or pay 200 euros per person to take a different (but very similar) trip. I said no, unequivocably, please refund my money. About an hour later, she called again and said she'd refunded my money, but would I like to go on the trip she'd described earlier for 200 euros, it was now reduced to 35 euros per person. Red flag! I said no. I have still not received a refund for the original trip, and it has been more than two weeks. The company has not responded to my inquiries. THIS IS A SCAM!
