The boat slips away from San Vito’s small harbor and the cliff-face of Polignano a Mare opens like a coastline of chapters—white limestone walls, jagged grotto mouths and terraces where sea meets town. Salt air nudges your senses as the captain threads between arches and shallow caverns, engines low so waves fill the hull with sound.
