License-free boat rental in Amalfi

Q: Do I need a license?

Italy is the most permissive country: no license up to 40 hp (30 kW) , within 6 nautical miles of the coast. That is why the "senza patente" fleets of Sardinia, Sicily and the Amalfi coast are so large. Still mandatory: safety equipment on board and respect for swimming zones.

In Amalfi, "license-free" rental exists, but its threshold and conditions are specific to the country — check them when you book.

What a license-free day looks like

You potter around the Amalfi coast, a UNESCO-listed wall of cliffs and clinging villages, picnic on board, swim at anchor. Thermal breezes that climb the cliffs in the afternoon, with mornings offering the smoothest water — the operator adjusts the day's area accordingly.

Booking smart

Demand peaks from May to September, the coast best admired from the sea — the road, meanwhile, jams solid, and the local license-free fleet can often be counted on one hand. The calmer morning slot is also the most pleasant.

How it works

Rather than juggling four tabs, run one search: the catalogues of Boataround, SamBoat, Click&Boat and GlobeSailor are queried in parallel and the boats in Amalfi ranked at the price actually displayed. You then book directly with the operator, at no extra cost. To understand how the platforms differ, here is our comparison.
