Overview

A mix of history and sea.
Sailing along the north coast, the trebuchets appear one after the other like ancient wooden sentries overlooking the sea, suspended between land and water. From a distance they look like mythological creatures, with long antennas ready to dive into the sea; up close you can appreciate every detail: the robust Aleppo pine poles, the boards worn by the sun, the ropes that whisper in the wind.
The skipper tells the story of these ingenious fishing machines, born to challenge a sea sometimes generous, sometimes unpredictable. We talk about families, about tradition handed down for generations, about a profession that was more art than work.
In the return there is the possibility of one or more bathroom stops.
Experience the best of the sea of Vieste at your own pace.
Hop on board and discover the magic of the Gargano, one bay after another.

The departure is from the port of Vieste.
Sailing along the north coast, the trebuchets appear one after the other like ancient wooden sentries overlooking the sea, suspended between land and water. DA far away they look like mythical creatures, with long antennas ready to dive into the sea; DA close up you can appreciate every detail: the sturdy Aleppo pine poles, the sun-worn boards, the ropes whispering in the wind.
The boat approaches slowly, almost respectfully. The skipper tells the story of these ingenious DA fishing machines, born to challenge a sometimes generous, sometimes unpredictable sea. We talk about families, about tradition handed down for generations, about a profession that was more art than work.
In the return there is the possibility of one or more bathroom stops.
Experience the best of the sea of Vieste at your own pace.
