Booked a boat tour for 9...
Booked a boat tour for 9 people. Travelled to the pick up point and the boat did not come. No email to explain why but when we called they just said it wasn’t happening. They did refund quickly though

Fun Cruise with Secluded Swim Stops
We had booked a sunset cruise with another company but it was cancelled two nights in a row. Our travel agent booked a morning cruise with PugliAmica and we were extremely happy with the cruise! There was only one other family on the boat, so it was very much like a private cruise. The skipper took us to secluded spots to swim and provided information about the town and the caves we visited. We had a lovely time and recommend this company and cruise.

Top experience
Wonderful boat tour to discover Polignano from the sea with Alessandro, prepared and very good skipper. Experience to try for those who love the sea and its secrets. Also suitable for younger children who will be enraptured by the wonderful colors of the sea.

Why this scores 55
The Outty Ranking is a weighted composite. Here is how this experience performed on each component.
Polignano a Mare: Boat Tour: questions travelers ask
Practical detail on this experience, plus the wider planning questions for Bari.
How much does Polignano a Mare: Boat Tour cost?
+
Prices start at $57 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 Polignano a Mare: Boat Tour take?
+
Plan for about 1.5 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 Polignano a Mare: Boat Tour worth it?
+
It holds an Outty Ranking of 55 out of 100, which we label "Worth a Look". That score blends traveler sentiment (4.1/5 across 9 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 Polignano a Mare: Boat Tour?
+
Yes. Cancel free up to 24 hours before the start time for a full refund. Inside that window the booking is non-refundable, and no-shows are not refunded.
Is Polignano a Mare: Boat Tour suitable for kids and families?
+
Yes, all ages are welcome. Families should still weigh the 1.5-hour running time, and strollers are easier on the earlier, quieter departures.
How far in advance should I book Polignano a Mare: Boat Tour?
+
Around 3 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 1.5-hour experience runs outdoors or after sunset.
Where does Polignano a Mare: Boat Tour start and how do I get there?
+
The exact meeting point and directions are on your voucher once you book, and they sit in central Bari within reach of public transport. Arrive 15 minutes early: late arrivals are treated as no-shows by most operators.
What are the best things to do in Bari?
+
On Outty we rank every Bari experience on the same 0 to 100 scale, and alongside this one the highest scorers right now include Bari’s Ultimate Street Food Tour - Small Group by Do Eat Better, Boat Tour of the Polignano a Mare Coast with Aperitif, Bari Vecchia Group Tour in Italian. 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?
+
Outty ranks and explains the experiences, then hands you to Viator to complete the booking with the operator directly. The price is the same as booking on Viator yourself, and Outty earns an affiliate commission on the referral, which is how the rankings stay free to read.
