Escursioni private

Our private boat excursions for up to 7 guests are fully personalized experiences designed to offer even greater care and attention to each guest’s needs.
They are planned with a clear focus on ensuring absolute privacy for those who choose this option, and they allow full customization of the stops—for example, opting for one longer stop after exploring all the classic points of interest.
With a private boat, guests also have access to several exclusive extra services. For internal policy, safety, comfort, and respect for all guests on board, these services are reserved exclusively for those who choose the private experience.

You can choose:

a longer excursion
personalized swimming stops
an extended route including a stop in Otranto (longer navigation)
a complete refreshment service (light lunch / apericena)
targeted snorkeling activities (medium difficulty), with the option of adding a guide and additional equipment
…and more.

All specific details and prices are available by contacting us through the channels listed on this website.

If your group exceeds 8 people (e.g., 12–14 guests), the skipper can arrange multiple 7‑seat boats sailing together in flotilla and anchoring nearby, ensuring a fun, safe, and fully shared experience.

Suitable for: couples, large groups, families
What to bring: swimwear, small bag, snorkeling gear
Duration: 2.5 / 4 hours – or full day, with customizable swimming stops

Excursion #03

Experiential Sunset Tour

Who doesn’t love a sunset?

The magic of the sun slowly descending, the colors that look almost supernatural, the air that changes, the light that captivates us.
Our sunset-at-sea experience has always been one of the most appreciated excursions among our guests. Depending on the season, we adjust the departure time so that the last outing of the day aligns perfectly with the sunset. At this time of day, the wind usually drops, the sea becomes calm, and the air turns cooler.
The excursion always follows the same relaxing mood. For those who love an “end of day swim,” this is an experience not to be missed: dives, relaxation, and our signature Salento food and drink refreshment. It is especially ideal for couples, groups of friends, and anyone wanting to escape the heat of the hottest days without giving up the scents, colors, and atmosphere that the coastline and Mediterranean scrub offer at this magical hour.

For private sunset tours, we recommend adding an apericena for those who want to enjoy a flavorful experience fully immersed in nature.
