Apulian Boat Tours: What You'll See Along the Monopoli–Polignano Coast

An Apulian boat tour along the coast between Monopoli and Polignano a Mare is one of the best ways to discover the Puglia coastline from a different perspective. In this article we cover what you'll actually see during the boat outing, and how it's different from a SUP excursion.

What you'll see during the boat tour

These are all coastal landmarks visible while sailing along the coast, no need to go ashore. For a full overview of the area's sights, read the guide to what to see between Monopoli and Polignano.

Boat or SUP: what's the difference

The boat tour follows the coastline and lets you see these landmarks from the water, with swim stops in open coves along the way. The sea caves, on the other hand, are only accessible on the SUP excursion, which paddles directly into the narrower coastal spaces a boat can't reach.

How the boat tour works

The tour lasts 4 or 7 hours, with skipper and onboard assistant, aperitivo, beach towels, and stand up paddle included in the price. Choose from several boats in the fleet, from gozzi to catamarans and luxury yachts for charter in Puglia. See the boat tours in Puglia page for boats, durations and inclusions.

For pricing and availability details, read the full boat tour guide.

Want to see the caves too?

If you want to explore Polignano's sea caves, the right experience is the SUP cave excursion, available at sunrise or sunset with an instructor included.
