Located at the easternmost edge of Italy, Otranto is one of Puglia’s most captivating seaside towns. Facing the Adriatic Sea and just a short distance from Albania, this historic port has long been a crossroads of cultures and maritime routes. Today, its crystal-clear waters, dramatic rocky coastline and hidden coves make it one of the most spectacular places in the region to explore by boat.
This private boat tour for a maximum of 6 guests offers a relaxed and intimate way to discover the coastline surrounding Otranto. As you cruise along the shore, you will encounter rugged cliffs, sea caves, turquoise bays and some of the most scenic natural spots along the Adriatic coast.
The route typically includes some of the most beautiful natural bays around Otranto, such as Baia del Mulino d’Acqua, Baia Murrune or Baia dei Turchi to the north, and Baia dell’Orte, Faro Palascia (the easternmost point of Italy) and Torre Sant’Emiliano to the south.
Depending on weather conditions and agreements made with guests, the skipper may include swimming stops (where possible, as they are subject to weather variations and maritime traffic along the coast) in some or all of the following locations scattered between the northern and southern coastline.
To the north:
Mulino d’Acqua (Grotta Sfondata), Baia Murrune, Imperia, Baia dei Turchi, Alimini, Conca Specchiulla, Faraglioni di Sant’Andrea, Torre dell’Orso.
To the south:
Baia delle Orte, Faro Palascia — the easternmost point of Italy — Torre Sant’Emiliano, Santa Cesarea (Grotta La Fraula), Porto Miggiano and Castro Marina.
Along the way, guests can enjoy time to swim, snorkel and admire the extraordinary clarity of the Adriatic waters.
The experience includes beach towels, snorkeling equipment and a light aperitif served on board. Please note that we are unable to accommodate dietary needs or allergies; however, guests are welcome to bring their own packed lunch if they wish to enjoy a longer day at sea.
