License-free boat rental in Gaeta

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 Gaeta, license-free rental rules differ from the French framework: the operator sets out the permitted power and area at the briefing.

The permitted area, in practice

The day's playground: the Gulf of Gaeta between Rome and Naples, with the Pontine islands lying offshore, within the boundary drawn in the contract by the operator. Sky-wise: steady Tyrrhenian breezes, the libeccio ruling the crossing to the Pontines — schedule around the morning sea.

When to go in Gaeta
