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

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.

Renting a boat in Olbia (Sardinia) opens up one of Italy's most beautiful coastlines. Each platform lists only its own fleet: Boat-Comparator queries them all and puts real prices, photos and ratings side by side.

Olbia's waters, in practice

The gateway to north-east Sardinia, between the Gulf of Olbia, the Costa Smeralda and the La Maddalena archipelago. Wind-wise: the north-westerly maestrale, master of Sardinian summers, strengthening towards the Strait of Bonifacio.

Departures, day-trip classics and season

Departures: the Olbia marina at the head of its sheltered gulf, minutes from the airport. The local classics: Tavolara and its marine reserve, the Costa Smeralda coves and the La Maddalena national park (paid access permit). High season: from June to September, the Costa Smeralda nearly doubling its prices in August.
