License-free boat rental in Saint-Cyprien

Q: Do I need a license?

In France, motorboats rent license-free up to 6 hp (4.5 kW) ; above that, the French coastal license or an equivalent title is required. Sail needs no license at all. Operators check papers at the pontoon — if in doubt about a specific model, ask for the engine's real power before booking.
