About Taranto
Taranto rewards first-time boaters with something rare: a city whose two seas sit right inside it. Glide across the sheltered Mar Piccolo, where mussel farms and old fortifications line the water, or head out toward the Cheradi Islands for a swim stop. A good starting point is the Taranto: Boat Tour through History and Mar Piccolo + Swim at Cheradi Islands, which pairs storytelling with a dip, while the Boat Rental with Skipper: Taranto Coast and Cheradi Islands suits those who want a private half-day on the water.

Frequently asked questions
Taranto is built around two connected seas, the Mar Piccolo and Mar Grande, so a short boat trip covers history, working mussel farms and island scenery without long open-water crossings. Tours are typically gentle and guided, which suits visitors who have never booked a boat experience before.
