This is a beautiful promenade along the coast/beach line of Viesta. Lots of photo spots as you walk. You can stop and enjoy a coffee or gelato along your way. Make sure to take a promenade at night as well, beautiful if the moon is out as well.

The boat leaves the port of Vieste at 10 AM, goes down the coast till Baia delle Zagare and stops in a few bays along the way. For each bay, we drop anchor for everyone to swim in the sea if desired. At the first stop, the apero and fresh fruits are prepared. For lunch, we serve the Gargano typical bruschetta, pepper mussels, and pasta as the main course. Water, white wine, lemon and peach ice tea are included and available all day. Before going back to the port (around 6PM), we serve watermelon for a perfect ending. We speak 3 languages on board : Italian, English and French. See you soon!

We booked our guided tour & fishing lesson on the ancient Trabucco easily through wtsapp! We got there on foot as suggested by Gianni...having a nice walk along the coast starting from Vieste Harbour and proceeding in direction of Peschici. As soon as we arrived there, we were welcomed with a great Aperitivo from Gianni Spalatro & Brother, two Master Trabucco Fishermen. Then we started the real fishing Lesson with an historic introduction on the origins of Trabucco. The hole story is full of fashion and captures even children attention! Gianni adapts the guided tour to his public, so he made it in italian Language and then in english. We had a really nice time there and you feel so at your ease, that everybody stays more than one hour..fishing with net, having a nice talk with Gianni & Brother, making pics, observing the romantic sunset...
