The deck rocks gently as Gallipoli's old stone harbor slips behind you and the turquoise Adriatic opens up. Salt air and the low cry of gulls set the pace while the captain points out the Angevin Castle shrinking on the shore. You move between a scatter of islets toward Isola di Sant'Andrea; the lighthouse rises like a weathered marker of centuries at sea.

The deck rocks gently as Gallipoli's old stone harbor slips behind you and the turquoise Adriatic opens up. Salt air and the low cry of gulls set the pace while the captain points out the Angevin Castle shrinking on the shore. You move between a scatter of islets toward Isola di Sant'Andrea; the lighthouse rises like a weathered marker of centuries at sea.
This short coastal run traces a coastline shaped by limestone and Pleistocene terraces—rocky headlands and sandy bays carved by wind and currents. Gallipoli's history as a fishing town and trading post is visible in the fortified port and the ancient watchtowers, while the sea still supports Posidonia meadows that shelter fish and invertebrates. Onboard, local flavors take center stage: a Salento aperitif with prosecco and cured bites that reflects regional olive oil, citrus and tuna traditions.
Expect two swim stops—Punta Pizzo's clear bay and the shoals around Sant'Andrea—with a guided snorkeling option to view rare fishes and seafloor life. The lighthouse visit and coastal skirting are as much about geology and maritime culture as they are about swimming.
Practical guidance: departures are from Canneto marina, total time about three hours. Wear reef-safe sunscreen, a hat and non-slip sandals; bring a light layer for wind off the stern. If you plan to snorkel, basic swimming ability and a quick briefing will be provided. Weather can change fast—confirm the trip in the morning and arrive 15 minutes early to board and listen to safety instructions.
