Perfect day on the sea!
This was the perfect water excursion to see Polignano a Mare from the sea. Our hosts - David’s and Magda - were kind and gracious from start to finish. The food and drinks made for a fun afternoon and the swim and paddle board opportunity was an added bonus. I cannot recommend this group enough!

Onvergetelijke mooie ervaring vr de eerste keer Italië !
Professional service, a spotless boat, and an incredibly friendly crew. Our hosts, Magda and Daniele, were warm, welcoming, and attentive throughout the entire trip. The captain was skilled, friendly, and made us feel comfortable and safe at all times. The snacks were delicious, and drinks were available throughout the excursion. Magda provided excellent information, took great photos of us, and went above and beyond to ensure everyone had a wonderful time. Definitely worth every euro. An outstanding experience from start to finish — we enjoyed it 100%! ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Rafael & Annick

Guided Tour by Catamaran with Aperitif from Polignano a Mare: questions travelers ask
Practical detail on this experience, plus the wider planning questions for Bari.
How much does Guided Tour by Catamaran with Aperitif from Polignano a Mare cost?
+
Prices start at $102 per person. The final price depends on the date, the time slot and the number of travelers, and peak weekends in Bari usually price higher than midweek mornings. Live pricing and remaining availability are confirmed on the booking screen before you pay.
How long does Guided Tour by Catamaran with Aperitif from Polignano a Mare take?
+
Plan for about 2.5 hours from start to finish, not counting travel to the meeting point. Most travelers leave another 30 minutes on either side so the rest of the day in Bari is not rushed.
Is Guided Tour by Catamaran with Aperitif from Polignano a Mare worth it?
+
It holds an Outty Ranking of 79 out of 100, which we label "Strongly Recommended". That score blends traveler sentiment (4.9/5 across 92 reviews), the depth of that review evidence, recent booking momentum, value for money against comparable last minute in Bari, and how flexible the cancellation terms are.
Can I cancel or reschedule Guided Tour by Catamaran with Aperitif from Polignano a Mare?

Is Guided Tour by Catamaran with Aperitif from Polignano a Mare suitable for kids and families?
+
Yes, all ages are welcome. Families should still weigh the 2.5-hour running time, and strollers are easier on the earlier, quieter departures.
How far in advance should I book Guided Tour by Catamaran with Aperitif from Polignano a Mare?
+
Around 32 people booked this in the last 30 days, so popular slots go early. Two to three weeks ahead is comfortable in shoulder season, while summer weekends and holidays in Bari can sell out a month out. Same-day spots do open up when other travelers cancel, so it is worth checking if you are already in town.
What should I bring or wear?
+
Bring photo ID, your booking confirmation on your phone, a refillable water bottle and comfortable shoes. Dress for the weather in Bari and add a light layer if any part of the 2.5-hour experience runs outdoors or after sunset.

The city page groups everything into most popular, highest reviewed, last minute and family-friendly so you can build a day around what actually delivers.
When is the best time to visit Bari?
+
Booking patterns follow the same curve: prices and queues climb in peak weeks, while shoulder season gives you better availability on the top-ranked experiences and more room to change plans.
How many days do you need in Bari?
+
Three full days covers the headline sights without sprinting. A workable rhythm is one anchor experience each morning, such as this one, an unhurried afternoon in a single neighborhood, then a food or nightlife booking in the evening. Five days lets you add a day trip outside the city.
Do I book through Outty or through the operator?
+
