Gargano and Tremiti on a sailing boat
With 829 km, Puglia is the third Italian region by extension of coasts bordering the sea ... about 200 are referable to the Gargano promontory. The only way to evaluate how kind nature has been to the Gargano is to sail on a boat between jagged coasts with overhanging rock walls, sandy dunes of Mediterranean scrub, wonderful caves, ancient watchtowers and trebuchets. The most interesting stretches of coast are those:
- Vieste – Morning… famous all over the world for its sea caves and rocky ridges overlooking the sea
- of the tremiti Islands a true paradise for sea lovers, about 20 km from Vieste
Going on a boat holiday does not necessarily mean being rich and having your own boat…boats are rented, exactly as it happens for cars….
The methods are essentially 2:
- rent a boat (sailing or motor) for exclusive use to share with your friends or family.
- sharing a boat with people you don't know on the basis of a scheduled cruise and embarking at the cabin or bed or day without overnight
The difference between the 2 modes is stark!
In the first case, for the period you have chosen, the boat is at your complete disposal… you can decide to embark friends up to the number of available berths and you choose the itinerary.
If you have an unlimited boat licence, you can drive it or ask a professional skipper to drive it for you.
In the second case you will take part in a cruise. The boat will be led by a professional skipper who will organize life on board, itineraries, lunches and dinners on board. You will share the spaces with other people. Usually these cruises accept boarding:
- to the cabin ... or you will have your own cabin at your disposal ... this is the ideal holiday for couples or families
- in bed ... or it could happen that you have to share a cabin with another person. It will be the skipper (also based on the needs of the group) to arrange the hospitality on board ... this is the ideal holiday for singles
The ports of embarkation of some boats that are rented for cruises in the Gargano and Tremiti area are located at:
- Marina di Montenero
- Termoli
- Vieste
