About Us

As my main purpose is to let you all enjoy the beauty of this land, I’m offering you my eyes and my voice, to get you in close touch with this unforgettable experience.

Thanks to a local boat renting service, which gave me the opportunity to increase my passion for this job since I was young, I now am fully competent to let you discover this marvelous place with my tours through the coast that embrace the charming, white village of Santa Maria di Leuca.

At most southern point of Italy’s “heel”, it’s a tourist destination most appreciated for its crystal clear waters, breathtaking landscapes and the beauty of its coastal caves, on both Adriatic and Ionian side, starting from “Grotta del Drago” (Dragon’s Cave), ending with “Grotta del Laghetto” (The cave of the Lake).

Choosing “Riccardo Nautica” will get you into the very heart of our local culture with a tour enriched by tales and myths that will get you to truly and fully experience your tour to the sea caves.

Our main goal, as said, is to let you enjoy your tour as much as you can, giving the opportunity to have a full comfort journey, with the possibility to choose where to stop to have a swim along the tour.  We’ll be there at your disposal for you to enjoy the beautiful light pink sky and sea in the early morning from the Adriatic side, as so for the spectacular burning orange with its warm shades of the sunset on the Ionian side. For breakfast, or for an aperitif with a good wine and local food.
