A white hull eases away from the stone harbor and the cliff rubs past the rail like a slow revelation. Salt and citrus lift off the water; limestone cliffs carve dramatic alcoves that open to the Adriatic like rooms in a cliffside gallery. On a two-hour shared cruise from Polignano a Mare you skim a coastline sculpted by wind and wave, slipping through sea caves and pausing beneath terraces and a restaurant perched in a natural grotto.

Protect against sun
The Adriatic glare is strong; bring broad-spectrum sunscreen and a brimmed hat to avoid sunburn on reflective water.
Wear non-slip shoes
Boat decks and wet rocks can be slippery — closed-toe, non-marking shoes improve footing when boarding and moving on deck.
Bring motion-sickness remedies
The ride is usually smooth but open-water swells can make sensitive passengers queasy — take preventive meds if needed.
Respect marine habitats
Avoid standing or anchoring on seagrass beds and follow crew instructions to minimize impact on Posidonia meadows.
