How to rent a boat in Italy

Boats in Italy can be rented with or without a skipper. To rent a bareboat a basic sailing licence is all you need. Boataround always displays the sailing license needed in the information about each boat.

The most popular types of boats to rent in Italy are sailing yachts, motor boats and catamarans.

However, you do not need a sailing licence to enjoy a carefree holiday on a gulet. These boats are always provided with a crew allowing you to relax and take in the sights.

Sailing yachts and catamarans are frequently rented as bareboats, but if you wish, you can also charter these yachts with a professional skipper.

Houseboats are spacious and designed for slow river cruising. They are ideal for a family holiday on the water. You do not usually need a sailing licence to rent a houseboat.

Larger yachts can only be rented as crewed and provide both comfort and luxury. A motor yacht guarantees a unique way to discover the coastline and significantly extends the distance you and your crew can cover during your yacht charter.
