Tour Description
Imagine gliding over waters so clear it feels like floating in the air. The private tour from Santa Maria di Leuca up the Ionian coast to Torre Vado, Pescoluse, and the Maldives of Salento is a sensory experience designed for those seeking absolute beauty and deep relaxation. Unlike standard tours, the exclusive excursion with Piccola Nautica allows you to enjoy this stretch of coast at your own pace, away from mass tourism, turning a simple trip into an unforgettable memory.
The Ionian Coast: A Paradise of Sand and Light
Sailing northward, the scenery changes dramatically compared to the rugged Adriatic cliffs. The coast gently slopes, giving way to shallow, sandy seabeds that color the sea in shades ranging from emerald green to deep turquoise. Beyond Punta Ristola, our boat will take you to the famous stretches of Pescoluse. Here, you can immerse yourself in warm, calm waters, perfect for a long swim or snorkeling to discover the marine life that inhabits the sandbanks. Continuing on, we will reach the small harbor of Torre Vado, marked by its ancient watchtower that elegantly oversees the coastline.
A Tailored Experience Just for You
Ogni dettaglio della giornata è pensato per offrirti il massimo del benessere. Avrai a disposizione un’imbarcazione curata in ogni particolare, con ampi spazi per il sole e zone d’ombra per il riposo.
Our skipper, a deep connoisseur of these seas, will know how to guide you to the least crowded coves and the best moments for a swim. During the navigation, we will be delighted to offer you an aperitif prepared with the finest local products: authentic flavors that perfectly accompany the sound of the waves and the scent of the sea. Whether it’s a half-day of relaxation or a full day of exploration, you will be the absolute protagonist of the journey.

What they say about us
Consiglio di prenotare direttamente con l'operatore. Abbiamo pagato 170 € tramite GetaGuide; avremmo speso solo 120 € prenotando in loco.
Abbiamo portato con noi il nostro cagnolino e abbiamo visto le grotte. Il personale è meraviglioso.
UNA ATTENZIONE: assicuratevi di legare l'ancora prima di calarla perché non è fissata. Noi abbiamo perso la nostra e ci hanno fatto pagare (solo 30 dollari), ma assicuratevi di legarla. !!!!
A parte questo, un'esperienza meravigliosa. Grazie.
Tutto quello che hanno potuto dire è stato "Spiacente, non possiamo aiutarvi".
Stupidità, mancanza di istruzione e zero interesse nel fare una semplice azione come inviare il numero di telefono giusto.
Portiamo soldi e turisti e torneremo ogni anno e porteremo gente.
Ma con questo atteggiamento... arriveremo in un altro porto.
Il capitano Juseppe è stato fantastico
Aperitivo con vista indimenticabile 😎
