Gulet sailing trip from Monopoli

A traditional 22-metre boat, a crew that does the work, swim stops and prosecco to finish.

What you do

A gulet is a traditional boat, built for slow days at sea. This one is 22 metres long and comes with its crew, so all you have to decide is where to sit.

You sail the coast between Monopoli and Polignano a Mare, stopping to swim along the way. There is music on board, and before heading back the crew serves an aperitivo with prosecco and snacks.

The boat is private, for 2 to 11 people. A trip lasts about three and a half hours, leaving at 9am or 1pm from April to October. A full day can be arranged on request.

By bike

Monopoli is far from my bases in Lecce, San Foca and Calimera, and I have no base up there.

Where the gulet fits best is inside a multi-day bike trip through Puglia. I plan the self-guided itinerary with GPX and roadbook, stage by stage, and we put the sailing trip on the day your legs need a break. If it helps, I can deliver the bike to where you are staying, with a surcharge based on distance.
