What type of boat can be rented without license?

There are different types of boats you can rent without having your own license.

Most boats on the platform have the option to be hired with a skipper. This means that whether you don’t have a license, or don’t have the right one, you can still rent any boat on the platform. This can be a sailboat, a motor yacht, a RIB, or a motorboat.

If you would rather not have a skipper, there is a variety of boats available for you to rent. Most motorboats with engines of less than 40hp are available to rent without license. On our platform, these are mostly RIBs, but you’ll find some motorboats.

Choose the type of boat most adapted to your needs, knowing RIBs are often more adapted to day trips. If you are looking to organize a longer trip, whether a couple of days, a week, or more, taking a look at skippered boat options could be a good idea.

How much does it cost to rent a boat without license in Sardinia?

Prices for a boat rental in Sardinia are influenced by a number of factors: the type of boat, the duration of the rental, the size of the boat, the marina you are renting from, and any extras available to add on to your booking. Extras can include snorkeling equipment, SUPs, watersports equipment, surf boards…

Additionally, the season also plays a significant part in the price of a rental. Summer usually corresponds to the high season, so prices will be higher at that time of the year.

Renting a boat that does not require a license in Sardinia costs an average of €248 per day. The daily rental price can vary between €140 and €684.
