Boating in Taranto

Taranto lies between two seas: the inner lagoon of the Mar Piccolo and the open bay of the Mar Grande on the Ionian Sea. Boat trips leave from the old town, pass under the swing bridge and head for the Cheradi Islands and the coast beyond, where dolphins are often sighted in the gulf.

Where to go by boat

  • Cheradi Islands

    The islands of San Pietro and San Paolo in the Mar Grande, with swim spots.

  • Mar Piccolo

    Inner lagoon known for its mussel farms and underwater freshwater springs.

  • Castello Aragonese

    Seafront castle by the swing bridge linking the old town and the new city.

  • Gulf of Taranto

    Open water where dolphins and other cetaceans are regularly seen.

Tip: Taranto is a major naval and commercial port, so keep clear of military areas and shipping lanes, and if you meet dolphins slow down and keep your distance.
