About this tour
Explore Polignano a Mare's hidden coves aboard Mar y Sol, a solar-powered vessel designed for small groups seeking a low-impact coastal escape. Over two hours, you'll cruise past dramatic cliffs to secluded swimming spots reachable only by water, with multiple opportunities to snorkel in crystalline shallows. The boat provides snorkelling gear, light refreshments, and concludes with a sunset toast on deck—a quieter alternative to standard tour vessels.
Highlights
- Solar-powered boat minimises environmental footprint
- Access remote coves and rock formations by water only
- Snorkel in pristine, sheltered bays with provided masks
- Small-group intimacy on each departure
- Onboard snacks, soft drinks, and celebratory sunset toast
What to expect
After boarding, you'll motor smoothly along limestone cliffs whilst your guide points out inaccessible beaches and sea caves. The boat stops three or four times for swimming and snorkelling—water entry is direct from the boat, with a crew member nearby. Expect 20–30 minutes in the water per stop; the sea here is calm and shallow in designated spots, though conditions vary seasonally. The final leg brings you back as daylight fades, ending with a glass raised on deck overlooking the Adriatic.
Good to know
Bring a light layer for wind at sea. Straw hats and sunscreen are available on request but not included; apply SPF before boarding. The boat suits swimmers and snorkellers of all abilities. Not advised for pregnant passengers or those with heart conditions. Infants travel free on a parent's lap.
