The experience

The boat leaves Vieste marina at 10:00 and heads toward Porto Greco, about an hour away.

The second stop is Baia Vignanotica, where lunch arrives on board: fresh local seafood and land products paired with prosecco, all included. After eating and swimming, the boat continues to Baia delle Zagare, which the operator names as one of Gargano's most beautiful bays. A third swim and photo stop there includes a buffet of seasonal fruit and coffee prepared on board.
