Boat rental in Bari: observed prices, with or without a license

Q: Do I need a license to rent a boat in Bari?

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.

Bari's waters, in practice

The Puglian Adriatic, a low coast of white towns between Barletta and Polignano. Wind-wise: the Adriatic tramontana answering the sirocco, on a coast short of deep natural shelter.

Departures, day-trip classics and season

Departures: the Bari harbours, between the old town and the rationalist seafront. The local classics: Polignano a Mare and its cave-riddled cliffs, Monopoli and its coves, and the San Nicola basilica on the way home. High season: from June to September, with focaccia barese as mandatory provisioning.
