Boat rental in Arbatax · Desner — 520 - 10 (2022)

We checked numerous companies, and this one offered the best value for money. Not only were they one of the cheapest, but the service and hospitality were exceptional. Peter did an outstanding job, guiding us on a less crowded route, which we greatly appreciated. The boat was in perfect condition. Highly recommended, 10/10!

Everything was perfect, the people were amazing and very kind. We had an amazing day

Absolutely incredible experience! Would 100% recommend to anyone wanting to explore Sardinia and its beautiful beaches!

We had a very good experience with this company and we highly recommend them! Our Italy trip agenda was packed! We had very little time at each destination. We got here at 2:30pm and had to return the boat by 5pm leaving very minimum time for us to explore the coast. Also., I had no experience driving a boat on open water. Taking this into consideration, Silverio decided to join us and drive the boat for us. He took us to as many spots as possible in the limited time we had. And also showed her some of the secluded spots that tourists miss. His dog “Dob” also joined us, which was a bonus :) Excellent customer service!!

We had a blast, so far the best experience in Sardinia and with Francesco boat rental! Instructions were clear and easy, boat had a ladder to swim and Bimini top (absolutely a must on hot sunny days). We sailed up to Cala Luna, took 1,5h full speed, gasoline cost at the end 90e. Also seen dolphins on our way to harbour 🫶 would definitely rent again, awesome experience!

The communication with Francesco leading up to the decision to rent the boat was excellent, including weather forecasts for the days under consideration for rental. Based on the good communication and beautiful boat, we decided to rent a boat from Francesco. Our boat rental experience was excellent. The boat exceeded our expectations as did the incredible day navigating the beautiful coastline of Sardinia! Wow! I also want to mention that Davide met us at the marina in the morning, explained all the important details regarding the boat and coastline destinations and he met us at the end of the day. He is a great representative of the company!

Thanks

It was a wonderful boat day. Highly recommended!

We had a great day on the boat. Thank you.

Great organization and technically perfect boat. We had a great experience and can recommend 100%.

Everything was very good planned and done! Thanks a lot

Alles Top!

Everything was good, the staff was amazing and the boat in mint condition.besides the fuel there are no other costs or hidden fees.i highly recommend!

Everything was perfect. The team was friendly and explained everything very well. We enjoyed our trip very much.

everything perfect

The Office in Arbatax Marina is a little harder to find but everything else was perfect. We even got many other touristic tips for the Island.

It was a fantastic experience. Francesco is very friendly and explained everything very well beforehand, including a brief introduction to all the boat's important functions. I can recommend it to anyone with a clear conscience. And best wishes and greetings to Francesco ?

Everything was great! Clear instructions on how the boat works and easy navigation options. Everything was very simple.

Simply book the boat three days before departure. Receive the coordinates. The station in Arbatax is easy to reach, and free parking is available. After a brief briefing, you take over the boat and explore the coast to the north. Dreamy bays and crystal-clear waters were explored with the fast and maneuverable boat. At the stops, there is a sand anchor for anchoring. Snorkeling and shore excursions are possible. A cooler and parasol were included, making it a great value for money. Be careful! You'll have to fill up the tank again at the end. Great provider!

Great boat! The crew was incredibly friendly and explained everything very clearly, so we felt 100% safe at all times. Simply fantastic, our absolute favorite boat! The staff are friendly and attentive, and you can enjoy the trips to the beautiful beach to the fullest. I highly recommend it and would be happy to come back anytime.

Everything went smoothly and without any problems. We received quick and accurate information.

Everything went perfectly. A good boat, good service, and a good price. Let anyone who doesn't know know that Goloritzé is not accessible by sea. As a recommendation, let anyone who wants to pay for fuel based on how much is left in the tank and avoid having to wait in the line that forms at the port station. We had a great day.

Everything was perfect: the dinghy was clean and reliable, easy to drive, and the staff was very friendly and knowledgeable. They provided us with information on places to visit, how the boat works, and travel times. Everything was truly excellent and the price/quality ratio was truly competitive. Thank you for everything, Desner Boats Rental Arbatax

Clear explanations about how the boat works, anchoring, and the coast. Sailing without a skipper was easy, and the weather was beautiful. We even got an upgrade from a 6-person to an 8-person boat!

We had a fantastic day on the water! The boat rental went smoothly, and everything was well organized. The staff was very friendly and helpful. It was especially great that they provided a cooler free of charge upon request, which made the trip even more enjoyable. We had a lot of fun and can only recommend this boat rental company. A perfect day on the water!

Great staff, flexible for change dates.

What an unforgettable adventure! Thanks to the whole team ? Everything went smoothly and you could leave without worries. Highly recommended for those who want to discover Sardinia from a boat. The only downside and that is a small thing is that the petrol meter did not work, everything else was TOP! Thanks for this experience ?

Very attentive at all times. Very clear instructions. Highly recommended.

Everything was perfect...magnificent day

All perfect. Very friendly. Recommendable.

Magnificent day in the Orosei golf course. The whole day is necessary to really be able to enjoy this extraordinary experience.

Incredible experience. Highly recommended. Tip: pack sun protection on hot days... the small canopy could be bigger! Plan more time for the return trip... against the current! Full speed to Cala Luna 2 hours and relaxed back past all the spots, crazy! Thanks for everything... Greetings David & Heike

everything was OK, only the steering - especially to the left - was very stiff!

Everything worked out great and was a lot of fun!

This was my first experience renting a boat on my own. Payment through the website, then you will receive the address where you need to come. There is an introduction on site and then it's just you and the sea. :) We rented a boat for four adults and got a lot of positive impressions. On the way back the staff helped me refuel the boat. I can definitely recommend this entertainment option to everyone.

Very friendly landlord, good communication. We were in good hands and the trip was a lot of fun!

Very nice boat rental! Great communication & introduction to the boat and all the conditions. The boat was clean & looked very good. Had a shower, roof, radio, bluetooth etc. We didn't drive all the way to Cala Luna and paid €78 for fuel. Can only recommend this rental.

Everything wonderful ??

Everything was top top ??? We had a really great day

Excellent choice

Amazing!

Everything worked out wonderfully, gladly again :-)

Francesco and his team are absolute professionals! Especially when it comes to boating on the open sea, seriousness and professionalism are the top priority. We had booked several tours and we were able to postpone one of them without any problems because of too much wind and waves. Davide, a member of his team, also bridged the language barrier English/Italian/German really well. An extra star* for him. A great experience and unreservedly recommended!

Everything was perfect. Good attention on arrival, the boat was new and they gave us a cooler with ice to cool the drinks.

Very nice day at sea. Everything worked out great, we can absolutely recommend it. Grace mille

A beautiful day on the rental boat, the guys are very friendly, 100% recommended.

The fuel gauge was faulty, which generates mistrust, especially when they tell you that the normal amount for the journey we made was 50l and when it came to filling the tank, much more came in. The rear seat was broken and the different cushions were missing brackets so they were misplaced. The overall score can't be too good.

Beautiful experience, friendly and knowledgeable staff who, before the boat ride, provide all possible information to do everything safely even for those who are using the boat for the first time. Also available in the face of any unforeseen events, a positive note to Davide who followed us in our experience. P.S: 4-star comfort only because you need to get an idea of the size of the boat and the people on board, in ours there were 5 of us and therefore, a bit cramped. To redo.

Great service! Very good welcome, safety explanations, map to find the best places. The day before, we had some doubts about the weather and they were able to advise us and fortunately because we would have regretted it.

It was perfect !! Thank you so much.

Fast, friendly and good introduction. After a short test drive in the port, we were able to set off. We had a great trip and really enjoyed the day on the boat.

Super organized, the boat was in 1A condition. Value for money = great sightseeing and bathing opportunities with the boat are much, much better than with booked excursions on a large ship. You are your own captain and can explore according to your own interests. The boat was in 1A condition, easy to use and great fun. A competent employee gave us tips to save a little gas.

We had a technical problem with the boat on our day of rental, the boss then offered us another day of rental taken care of free of charge where this time everything went perfectly well! We return to France with great memories.. ?

A beautiful and unforgettable day with a great boat. I highly recommend this boat rental. The whole paperwork process is done quickly and you are well instructed about the things you have to pay attention to. The briefing doesn't take long, everything is explained briefly and concisely and you are not overloaded with unnecessary information. Then we did a short test drive in the harbor basin and we were allowed to go alone. We've never driven a boat before, but it's really easy to use. And the performance is really enormous. At first I didn't think much would happen with 40 hp, but the part really comes off. I can't really judge the speed on the water, but it was definitely between 50-70 km/h. The bays and the coast there is of course just phenomenal, you don't really have to mention that. We could then just stop wherever we wanted, drop anchor and go for a swim in the sea. You could even moor at some bays. Our boat was also equipped with a fresh water shower, which was really nice. You can also get a beach umbrella and cool box at no extra charge. We drove quite a distance and then paid around €100 for petrol, although a liter currently costs €2.09 there. We would do it again at any time, a really great experience. Many thanks to David, Franco and all the crew

very nice experience. everything was fine. The boat is consistent with the photo and very practical. Perfect thank you very much.

It was great and we were able to upgrade to a 5.6m boat for a small surcharge, which was worth it for 4 people because it was relatively windy and we had more comfort, gladly again!

5* Experience

Convenient service

We recommend! Everything worked without any problems. We paid €54 for the tank and drove to Cala Luna.

It was a great experience with a good boat. There were five of us (2 adults and 3 children) and we rented a boat without a skipper for 150 euros (daily price) The boat was very good, the support was also great, we drank a cappuccino together briefly, everything was explained well. The whole thing went pretty quickly and we were allowed to go out to sea alone. We stayed at two beaches but overall we drove all the way to cala luna and back. Finally, as usual, we had to pay for the petrol, consuming 33 liters, which corresponds to 66 euros, which you have to pay for yourself at the gas station. We can only recommend Francesco.

Desner welcomed us very nicely and explained the most important things about the boat itself and how to drive it. After a short briefing we were able to start. Admiring the shoreline from the Wasserbaus was an experience for us with some great stops. The boat was in very good condition and easy to manoeuvre. If we come back to the east coast of Sardinia, we will definitely book a boat with Desner again.

All very well, although the coves are a bit far. The uncomfortable thing is that you have to remove the front "seats" every time you drop and pick up the anchor. The price is very good and the information and wonderful treatment!

Everything worked out great and uncomplicated, the change to the next day was worth it due to the better wind conditions.??

Great experience

Everything perfect. Many Thanks.

The pick-up and briefing was totally uncomplicated, as all Desner employees were very friendly and one of them also speaks a little German. Boat is in top condition and the sun deck is also available. For the tank costs you should plan about 50€. We'll be back next time we're on holiday in Sardinia!

Very professional company with great treatment

Super renter, communication, explanations. Boat in very good condition. Cooler available on request. We had a very good day. Thanks .

It really was an absolute dream day. The crew at reception was very friendly and accommodating. After 10 minutes, the briefing was completely sufficient for someone like me who drove his first time! Then we went straight to the Gulf of Orosei. After the breathtaking experience, we came back to the port and filled up with company (about 50 euros in total). Finish. Absolute must for anyone traveling the east coast of Sardinia!

They were attentive and very friendly.

Just perfect ! Excellent value ! New boat! Great bitchy day at Desner!!!
