We believe the beauty of the Otranto sea should belong to everyone. That is why one of our boats is special: its side panels lower right down to water level, allowing people with motor disabilities to sit comfortably at the water's surface, with their legs immersed in the crystal-clear sea of Salento.
No improvised gangways or makeshift solutions: boarding takes place safely at the first pier of the Otranto Tourist Port, with the assistance of the skipper and crew, and the itinerary is built around you, favouring calm waters, sheltered bays and the right pace for everyone.

How the boat with lowering sides works
The boat's side panels open and lower to the water's surface: you can sit on the edge in complete stability, touch the sea, enter the water with the crew's help or simply enjoy the cruise from a comfortable, safe position. It is a direct contact with the sea unlike anything else.
Tailor-made itineraries, never rushed
Every outing is planned together: quiet bays like Mulino d'Acqua Bay, the turquoise waters in front of Baia dei Turchi, the caves seen up close. The pace is set by the people on board, never by the clock. The Salento aperitivo is included, as on all our tours.
Companions and families welcome
Family members, carers and friends come aboard together: the boat comfortably hosts the whole group, because the best part of an experience like this is sharing it. Message us on WhatsApp to tell us about your specific needs: we always find the right solution.

Frequently asked questions
Is the boat suitable for wheelchair users?
Yes: boarding is assisted at the pier and on board you transfer to stable, comfortable seating. The lowering sides then let you sit right at water level in complete safety. Message us to discuss your specific needs together.
Is it possible to get into the water during the tour?
When conditions allow, yes, with the crew's help and in the calmest, most sheltered bays. Those who prefer to stay on board still enjoy direct contact with the sea thanks to the water-level sides.
How many companions can come along?
The boat hosts up to 12 people: family members and companions come aboard together, with no extra charge for assistance. The experience is designed to be shared.
