Description of Boat Rental in Salento
Half-day boat rental in Salento is the ideal option for those who want a dip in the blue and a visit to the caves without committing the entire day. With a duration of 4 hours, you will have the perfect amount of time to sail along one of the two sides of Santa Maria di Leuca, choosing between the Western Caves (Ionian) or the Eastern Caves (Adriatic).
Boat Rental in Salento with or without a Skipper
Piccola Nautica allows you to choose the option you prefer: rental without a skipper for those who love to drive (many models available without a boat license) or rental with a driver for those who just want to relax and enjoy the view guided by an expert skipper.
A concentration of beauty in 4 hours
Despite the short duration, the experience is intense and complete. You will be able to admire the suggestive Leuca Lighthouse and the nineteenth-century villas from the sea, and take several swimming stops in the most famous coves. Our boats are equipped with every comfort: large awnings for shade, ladders for easy access from the water, and ergonomic cushions.
Your boat for exclusive use
Whether it’s a snappy dinghy like the Diablo 22 or a practical family boat like the Lady 5.5, the vessel will be at your complete disposal. The half-day is perfect for:
- A morning of snorkeling among the fish of Salento
- A quick outing with the family
- An original aperitif at sunset
Who is it recommended for
The daily rental is perfect for those who don’t want to watch the clock. It’s the ideal choice for groups of friends who want to celebrate, families seeking comfort and privacy, or couples wanting an exclusive excursion to the farthest caves of Puglia.

What they say about us
Ma GRAZIE a Capitan Ugo che lo distraeva e nel frattempo ci spiegava siamo poi rimasti per il tuoi completo.
Due bagni e chiusura a Tarallucci e Vino, dopo il cammino del Salento questa uscita in barca è stata la ciliegina sulla torta.
Grazie Piccola Nautica, Grazie di ❤️ a Capitan Ugo!
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 😎
Esperienza meravigliosa con Piccola Nautica! Abbiamo fatto un’escursione al tramonto da Santa Maria di Leuca ed è stato tutto semplicemente perfetto. Il nostro skipper Gigi è stato gentilissimo e molto preparato. Ci ha accompagnati alla scoperta delle grotte, raccontandoci i nomi e la storia di ognuna con passione e simpatia. A bordo ci ha coccolati con taralli salentini e prosecco, il tutto accompagnato da musica allegra e dalla possibilità di fare anche una bella nuotata.
Il tramonto visto dal mare è stato indimenticabile, un momento di pura bellezza e relax. Gigi è una persona solare, disponibile e alla mano, e ha reso questa escursione davvero speciale.
Consiglio questa esperienza a tutti. È un modo meraviglioso per vivere il Salento dal mare e portare a casa ricordi stupendi! 🌞🚤🌊
Ringrazio lo staff per l'organizzazione e, non per ultimo, per l'aperitivo offerto godendoci questi posti stupendi.
Grazie Simone, grazie a tutti.
