What is the best time to hire a boat in Italy?

Depending on the season and the region, you will experience vastly different climates within Italy. For example, the north of the country has very cold winters which offer ideal temperatures for skiing and snowboarding. However, the southern regions such as Sicily or Sardinia experience mild winters and sweltering summers with temperatures of 30°C or more during July and August.

There is no “perfect” time to hire a boat in Italy, but taking these factors into consideration, we recommend visiting coastlines such as the Bay of Naples, the Aeolian islands and Sicily during the summer and lakes such as Lake Como and Lake Garda during the spring and autumn seasons.

What is included in the cost of a yacht charter in Italy?

The cost of hiring a boat in Italy includes the use of the yacht itself as well as the fuel throughout the trip. A skipper may also be included in the price of a private boat hire. When you hire a private yacht with Click&Boat, some rentals may also include a crew who are there to help with any additional tasks such as cleaning and cooking. Sporting equipment can also be arranged but this depends on the boat owner and type of boat.

What type of boat should I hire?

Yachts, catamarans, sailboats… there are plenty of boats to choose from for your Italian sailing holiday. However, if you aren’t sure which one to choose, we have some suggestions that might be worth considering. People generally choose to hire RIBs and motorboats for shorter trips when the intention is to visit a few beaches along the coast and soak up the Italian sun. However, sailboats and catamarans are typically chartered by larger groups or for longer durations such as week-long journeys. This is because these boats have several cabins and can go long distances, allowing you to explore different islands or countries! With large groups of people sailing, a yacht charter with 4 cabins or a yacht charter with 5 cabins is ideal! There are also plenty of luxury yachts in Italy too, for those who wish to blend with the country’s jet-set crowd.

Should I hire a boat with or without a skipper in Italy?

You can book for your yacht charter in Italy, a bareboat or a skippered vessel. With a bareboat yacht charter, you can explore the Italian waters at your own leisure. Certain boats in Italy can even be hired without a licence, depending on the size and the speed. However, this should always be confirmed with the boat owner before the start of the charter period.

This being said, there are many benefits to booking a skippered yacht charter in Italy instead of a bareboat charter. For example, they can take control of all the sailing, docking, and anchoring of the boat while you focus on enjoying the journey. A professional skipper will also be familiar with the region and its waters, making sure to show you the best of your destination while keeping you as safe and comfortable as possible.

If you wish to add a bit of luxury to your trip, you can also opt for a crewed yacht charter in Italy. Throughout your trip, the crew will take care of everything including dining and cleaning.

What season is the best to charter a yacht in Italy?

The best season for boat rental in Italy is typically from May to September. During this period, the weather is warm and sunny with moderate winds, providing excellent sailing conditions. The sea is calm and clear, making it ideal for swimming and snorkelling. The summer months of July and August are the peak season, with more crowded beaches and marinas, so it's best to book in advance. September is a great time to visit as the crowds begin to disperse, and the weather is still warm and pleasant. Overall, the summer season is the perfect time to explore the beautiful coastline of Italy and its islands, and to experience the thrill of sailing in the Mediterranean.

Where to hire a boat in Italy?

Italy has many marinas and ports where you can hire a boat. Some popular options include the ports of Naples, Rome, and Venice, as well as the marinas in Amalfi, Capri, and Portofino. These locations offer excellent facilities, including mooring, fuel, water, and electricity, as well as amenities such as restaurants, shops, and showers. Most of these ports and marinas are located within easy reach of public transport, making it convenient to travel to and from the airport.

Where to sail on your boat hire in Italy?

Italy is one of the Mediterranean’s most famous sailing areas because of its natural beauty and diverse landscapes! The country has more than 7,400 kilometres of coastline to be discovered as well as its majestic lakes. Whether you are visiting for a day or a month, with family or by yourself, there is so much to do. Here are a few suggestions on where to visit when sailing with a yacht charter in Italy.

Some of the most popular destinations in Italy for a private yacht charter are the Amalfi Coast, Sardinia, and Sicily. The waters surrounding these locations are certain to charm even the most experienced of sailors. While many people hike the seaside towns of Italy’s Cinque Terre, we suggest sailing along them! The view from the sea onto the vibrant villages while avoiding the crowds is an experience like no other. With your yacht charter in Italy, an itinerary is the best way to get the most out of the country!

Let your senses guide you as you experience the most of this country. Begin your day with an espresso and biscotti before heading straight into the open ocean. Then, have pasta and freshly caught fish in between swimming in the sparkling waters or observing the vibrant wildlife while you snorkel. Finally, depending on where you are, you can end your day with some pizza from Naples, limoncello from Sorrento, or tiramisu from Venice! No matter where you end up, a boat hire gives you the freedom to explore more than one location.

If you prefer to travel during the spring and autumn, you should consider travelling to the Italian countryside such as Lake Como or Lake Garda. You can experience the wonderful change of seasons on these chic lakes surrounded by beautiful forests. Since the ancient Roman period, these lakes have attracted the likes of royal families and luxury crowds. The surrounding villas and gardens are truly a sight for sore eyes with perfectly manicured greenery. In Lake Como, you can visit the gardens of Villa Carlotta and Villa Balbianello with your boat to get a taste of the Italian splendor. The lake region is very popular among couples, and if you are needing a good destination to book a honeymoon yacht charter in Italy, you will not be disappointed!
