License-free boat rental in Punta Ala

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.

License-free rental in Punta Ala follows local rules rather than the French threshold: ask the operator for the exact terms before booking.
