Sailing experiences in Taranto: outings on the Ionian gulf among the Cheradi Islands and the coast, with swim stops and sunsets.
History
Few experiences give the freedom of a sail. In Taranto, sailing lets you discover the gulf of the two seas in the most authentic way: driven by the wind, amid the silence of the sea, the islands and the city skyline receding astern.
What to see
Sailing outings depart from the city and cross the Mar Grande, among the Cheradi Islands and the coast, with swim stops in crystal-clear waters. You can choose between half-day sails, full days with lunch on board, or evocative sunset tours.
No experience is needed: the outings are led by qualified skippers, who handle the sailing and gladly involve guests in the manoeuvres. It's an experience suited to couples, friends and families.
The wind, the sea and the colours of the gulf make sailing one of the most fascinating ways to live Taranto from a different perspective.
