License-free boat rental in San Vincenzo

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

What a license-free day looks like

You potter around the Etruscan Coast, a long Tuscan beach facing the Piombino channel and the Tuscan archipelago, picnic on board, swim at anchor. Clockwork sea breezes in summer, the libeccio bringing the only swell days — the operator adjusts the day's area accordingly.

Booking smart

Demand peaks from June to September, Elba magnetising the day trips, and the local license-free fleet can often be counted on one hand. The calmer morning slot is also the most pleasant.
