Great fun day sailing with Vito - It was a great fun sailing with Vito, we had a great day: wether was amazing, so it was the sea not too rough and just enough wind to get by. As wind wasn't too strong we had the change to man the boat a little and help out setting the sails. Vito is very relaxed and made our journey enjoyable, we had a small group of 5 (6 with the capitain) all very nice and chilled. On our way back we enjoyed a great authentic focaccia barese with a few glasses of rosé wine :) highly reccommended for good fun!

An unforgettable sailing experience! - The sailing was just fantastic – even I was allowed to maneuver the boat myself, which was a real highlight! The skipper was a personable, humorous and relaxed type who took great care of the welfare of everyone on board. The atmosphere was pleasant and warm all around. Absolutely recommended for anyone looking for a special experience on the water!

A relaxing day at sea with a small group! - Vito was so friendly and calm. It was the most relaxing time I had on my trip! I got to drive the sailboat and we also swam in the open sea. The music and snack were excellent. He also gave us good recommendations for eating in Bari. There are very few boat tours like this that leave from Bari port. This was one of my best experiences 👍👍👍👍

Sailing tour into the sunset - We had a great afternoon on the ship. The sunset on the ship was wonderful. Swimming off Bari was really fun. The Italian wine and focaccia rounded off the perfect trip.

Choppy water - Captain spoke little English so very difficult to communicate to include lack of safety advisements. Water was very choppy and several people got sick. Which also made it very scary since we had no idea where the life vests were. Also an hour late leaving as we had to wait for what I believed were the captain’s friends.

Great weather to sail on calm seas - Refreshing swim behind the boat on a short tow rope. Also we saw two solo dolphins at a distance. Tasty focaccia bread snack.
