Xamira Day Cruiser Rental Santa Maria di Leuca: Caves & Aperitif

The boat has a cabin with a double bed and a full bathroom, not just an open deck.

Rent the Xamira, a 10-meter private day cruiser, for a four-hour guided tour of Santa Maria di Leuca's caves. The boat carries a double-bed cabin, kitchenette and bathroom below deck, with sun loungers and dinettes topside for relaxation between cave stops. Your guide speaks English, Italian or French, and the tour is customizable to the sites and pace you want.

The experience

Four hours on the water lets you move at your own speed through the caves without the noise and crowd of a larger tour boat. The Xamira is built for comfort: the outdoor deck has loungers and dining areas where you can settle between stops, and the interior cabin means you're not exposed to sun or wind the whole time. A kitchenette with refrigerator and microwave lets you store food or drinks, and the separate bathroom gives you privacy that a shared tour boat never does.

Your guide navigates to the caves you want to see and can adjust the route based on conditions and your interests. The boat handles smoothly enough that even the cabin below stays pleasant, and the aperitif (prosecco, tarallini and fresh fruit) arrives on board partway through. Bottled water is included, so you're not managing thirst or dehydration between sites.

What’s included

Is this one for you?Book this if you want the caves without sharing the boat with strangers, and if the cabin and bathroom matter to you. The Xamira is built around those amenities, not just deck space. The four-hour window is long enough to visit multiple caves and pause between them without rushing, but short enough to fit into a single afternoon on the coast.

Top questions

What languages is the tour guided in?

Live guide in English, French and Italian.

What happens if it rains?

It may be canceled due to bad weather. If that happens, you're offered another date or a refund. Free cancellation up to 24 h before the start.

What are the caves of Santa Maria di Leuca actually like when you get there?

The caves are sea caves carved into the limestone cliffs along the coast. The Xamira approaches them by water, so you see the openings and rock formations from the boat rather than hiking to them from land. The tour visits multiple caves in a single outing, and your guide chooses which ones based on the day's conditions and your preferences.

Can I bring my own food and drinks, or does everything come from the boat?

The Xamira has a kitchenette with a refrigerator and microwave, so you can bring your own supplies and store them on board. The aperitif with prosecco, tarallini and fresh fruit is provided, and bottled water is included. Anything else is your choice.

Is the guide the same person for every departure, or does it change?

The operator provides a live guide in English, Italian or French for each tour. The specific guide may vary depending on availability and your chosen language and departure date.
