Discover the stunning cliffs and caves of Polignano a Mare with a private boat trip. Perfect for swimming, sightseeing, and experiencing Italy’s spectacular coastline in style.
Freeride SUP Polignano operates in Polignano a Mare, Città Metropolitana di Bari, offering sea-based excursions that showcase the coastal cliffs, sea caves and clear waters of the Adriatic.
The company runs three main experiences: a 1.5-hour Kayak Excursion that includes a basic lesson, all necessary equipment, guidance from expert instructors and staff photos; a Private Boat Excursion that explores coastal cliffs and caves with stops for swimming; and a Boat Group Excursion departing from San Vito that visits hidden coves, sea caves, offers swimming stops and a convivial aperitif on board.
Each experience emphasizes hands-on guidance and convenience. The kayak tour is family-friendly and designed to introduce paddlers to local caves and beaches with instructor-led coaching. The private boat option provides a customizable coastal exploration for small groups seeking privacy and flexible swim stops. The group boat excursion combines scenic cruising with social time and an onboard aperitif, departing from the San Vito launch point.
All trips include the equipment specified in the activity descriptions and are run from Polignano a Mare, a town known for dramatic cliffside vistas and seaside attractions. Photos taken by staff are available on selected excursions, allowing participants to keep professional images of their outing. Freeride SUP Polignano focuses on delivering safe, memorable coastal experiences in the Bari metropolitan area, balancing sea adventure with accessible options for families and groups.
