Gagliotta 52

The Gagliotta 52 is a masterpiece of nautical design, featuring harmonious, sinuous lines and offering supreme comfort alongside impressive performance. Perfect for accommodating groups up to 8 people for day charters, it guarantees a relaxing experience with generous deck spaces. Below deck, the yacht boasts 3 cabins (1 Master, 1 VIP, and 1 Guest) and 3 bathrooms, elegantly accommodating guests for longer stays. Powered by twin 715hp Cummins engines, the yacht reaches an impressive top speed of 33 knots, providing the perfect balance between comfort and speed along the Apulian coast.

A Classic Italian Yacht Experience

The Gagliotta 52 is the product of a revered Neapolitan boatbuilding tradition that stretches back decades. The Gagliotta shipyard, founded on the shores of the Gulf of Naples, has earned its reputation by crafting vessels that embody the very soul of Italian maritime heritage. The 52 is arguably the finest expression of that philosophy. Where many modern yachts favour sharp, angular aesthetics, the Gagliotta 52 stands apart with her harmonious, sinuous lines that flow from bow to stern in one unbroken gesture of elegance. She is a classic yacht Puglia visitors instantly recognise as something special the moment they see her at the dock.

Your Gagliotta 52 charter begins at Cala Ponte Marina in Polignano a Mare, where the captain greets you and helps you settle into the generous deck spaces, perfect for lounging, socializing, and dining al fresco under the Mediterranean sun. As the twin Cummins engines come to life with a deep, reassuring purr, the yacht eases out of the harbour and turns south along the Adriatic coast. The cruise unfolds at a comfortable pace, passing the dramatic white karst cliffs that define this stretch of Puglia. You glide past Polignano's famous sea caves, including a breathtaking view of the Grotta Palazzese from the water, a natural grotto restaurant suspended above the waves that few ever see from this privileged angle.

The captain selects a secluded cove with crystal-clear turquoise water for your first swimming stop, where guests can dive from the bathing platform into the warm Adriatic. Back on board, a fresh seafood lunch is served on deck: local Puglian specialties such as crudo di mare, orecchiette ai frutti di mare, and grilled catch of the day, accompanied by chilled Negroamaro rosato and robust Primitivo wines from the nearby Itria Valley. As the afternoon light softens, the coastline toward Monopoli reveals itself: ancient watchtowers, hidden pebble beaches, and the kind of unspoiled scenery that makes a luxury boat rental Polignano a Mare an unforgettable experience.

Why Choose the Gagliotta 52

Heritage is at the heart of every detail. The Gagliotta shipyard's Neapolitan tradition means superior craftsmanship, elegant lines that age gracefully, and seakeeping qualities honed over generations of building boats for the demanding waters around Capri, Ischia, and the Amalfi Coast. At 16.4 metres with a generous beam of 4.8 metres, the Gagliotta 52 is one of the roomiest motor yachts in our fleet, offering wide walkways, a spacious cockpit, and a flybridge that feels like a private terrace on the sea.

Performance matches the pedigree. Twin 715-horsepower Cummins engines deliver a top speed of 33 knots, perfectly balanced between the thrill of speed and the smoothness of a comfortable cruise. Below deck, three well-appointed cabins (Master, VIP, and Guest) with three en-suite bathrooms provide hotel-quality comfort for overnight stays or multi-day charters along the Puglia coast. The Gagliotta 52 appeals to guests who appreciate timeless nautical design over flashy modern aesthetics, and who value the understated confidence of a yacht built to last. A dedicated captain with deep local knowledge accompanies every charter, guiding you to the best swimming spots, hidden beaches, and scenic anchorages that only lifelong mariners know.

Polignano a Mare: Italy's Best-Kept Maritime Secret

Polignano a Mare has rapidly become one of the rising stars of Puglia tourism, voted among Italy's most beautiful small towns and increasingly recognised as a world-class coastal destination. The reason is visible the moment you step aboard: the coastline stretching in both directions offers more than 20 kilometres of dramatic karst cliffs punctuated by over 70 sea caves, each with its own character and history. The water clarity here rivals the Caribbean, with visibility that can exceed 30 metres on calm summer days. The best months for a Gagliotta 52 charter run from June through September, when the Adriatic is at its warmest and the days are long enough for a full coastal exploration. Getting here is effortless: Bari Karol Wojtyla airport is just 35 minutes away by car, and marina parking is available at Cala Ponte for those driving from nearby towns or resorts.
