License-free boat rental in Sanremo

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 Sanremo, "license-free" rental exists, but its threshold and conditions are specific to the country — check them when you book.
