Yes, a valid boating license for sea/coastal navigation is required if you want to rent a boat without a skipper. If you don’t have a valid license or don’t feel comfortable cruising on your own, we can provide a skippering service for an additional charge of 15€ per hour or you can rent our smallest boat Roto 450 without a license.
We are located in Marina Valalta, and our boats are right in front of our office—this is also the meeting point. If you are staying at Campsite Val Saline, we can deliver the boat to the Val Saline pier, except for the Roto 450, which departs only from Marina Valalta.
During the low season (until May 31 and from September 15 onward), schedule adjustments are usually possible. During the high season (June 1–September 14), this is usually not possible.
Please note that a half-day rental (4 hours) is the minimum rental period, and you will be charged for it even if you do not use the entire time.
The only exception is the Roto 450, which can be rented even for just a 2-hour period.
All of our boats are covered by comprehensive insurance, so no additional insurance is required. This insurance includes damage to our boat or another boat, as well as any injuries resulting from an accident.
If you cause damage to our boat by your own fault, you may be charged up to a maximum of 1,000€ (for further details, please see the question below).
There's no deposit required; instead, we'll sign a rental agreement before departure.
By signing the contract, you agree that if you cause damage through your own fault, you may be charged up to a maximum of 1,000€.
For example, if you cause 50€ worth of damage, you will be charged 50€. If the damage is 8,000€, you will only be charged the maximum of 1,000€.
You don’t have to reserve a boat in advance, but it’s strongly recommended—especially during high season. If you don’t reserve in high season, there’s a strong chance the boat won’t be available on your preferred day.
To make a reservation, we need three things:
A photo of your boating license (except for Roto 450 that can be rented without a license).
Your cell phone number
A €100 advance payment for smaller boats or €200 for Sea Rays (only 50 € for Roto 450).
You can either visit our office at Marina Valalta or contact us to arrange payment via bank transfer.
Please note: We cannot hold a reservation or guarantee the boat without these three items.
Yes, you can cancel your reservation up to 24 hours before the start of your rental for any reason and get a full refund—no questions asked.
If you cancel after that, you must have a valid reason and provide proof. Acceptable reasons include canceled transportation (flights, trains, buses, etc.), illness, or force majeure.
When renting a boat without a skipper, we expect you to have at least some boating experience. If you are unsure, you can arrange skipper training before departure, but it must be booked at least one day in advance.
SAFETY IS OUR PRIORITY (and it should be yours, too).
That said, we provide a brief skipper training session before your rental. We start in the boat, explaining the docking process and then demonstrating how to do it. Next, it’s your turn to try docking the boat under our guidance. Perfection isn’t required, but we need to see that you won’t be a danger to yourself, others, or the boat. Even if you make a mistake, as long as you go slowly and stay calm, everything should be fine.
If we determine that you are not capable of safely operating the boat, we will unfortunately have to refuse the rental. In that case, you will lose your advance payment of €100 or €200. For reference, our long-term average is about 2% of clients, meaning we refuse to rent a boat about once every 50 rentals.
Alternatively, you can rent the Roto 450, for which the requirements are less strict.
Fuel is NOT included in the rental price. Consumption can range from as little as 5 liters to over 150 liters, depending on the boat, number of passengers, speed, and trip duration.
The only exception is the Roto 450, which includes fuel in its rental price.
You must have a valid boating license (except for Roto 450), an ID or passport, and a mobile phone. We also recommend bringing towels, swimsuits, sunscreen, and sunglasses.
While you’ll receive an icebox with cold drinks, it’s still a good idea to bring extra water. During the off-season, when evenings can get cooler, we suggest packing a long-sleeve shirt or a jacket as well.
