Boat rental in Elba · Astilleros Menorca — Menorquin 150 (1998)
Description of Gianluca's motorboat
Motorboat Astilleros Menorca Menorquin 150 740hp
✨ MENORQUIN 150 – A LUXURY THAT NEEDS NO SHOW, ELEGANT AND TIMELESS... THE SEA, AT ITS BEST RHYTHM. There are boats that seek attention. And then there are boats that receive it in silence. The Menorquin 150 belongs to this second category: classic lines, harmonious proportions, a smooth ride that has nothing to prove. It's the luxury of those who know the sea and know that the true privilege is to experience time without haste. On board, the warm wood, the generous spaces, and the discreet shade of the awning create an intimate and relaxed atmosphere. Every detail is designed to accompany the day, not dominate it. You sail along the coast, you stop where the water is clearest, you stay longer where the silence is greatest. On Elba Island, the Menorquin 150 finds its natural habitat: hidden coves in the morning, long stops at anchor, slow returns when the sun sets. There's no fixed schedule, just a carefully chosen route, following the sea and the guests' wishes. This isn't a rental. It's a way of experiencing life at sea. ?️ MENORQUIN 150 – ELBA ISLAND Up to 12 people · Skipper included · Portoferraio base Available for day trips and coastal cruises around Elba Island, with a professional skipper included in the price. The ideal boat for large groups (8–12 people), families, and friends who want to enjoy a comfortable and relaxing day at sea. ⏱️ Rental times: Full day: 9:00 AM – 5:30 PM (8 hours) Half day (on request): 9:00 AM – 1:00 PM ? Itinerary Customized itineraries along Elba's most beautiful coasts (Capo Bianco, Sansone, Biodola, Procchio, Marciana Marina, south and west coast). The route is chosen each morning based on the weather and guests' preferences, to always ensure the best sea conditions. Sailing around Elba means entering a world of clear waters, secret coves, and views that change with every mile.

Overall rating
I was lucky enough to rent the Scirocca boat in Ponza, and I couldn't have made a better choice! ?✨ It was an experience I'll cherish forever. Skipper Gianluca, who is also the owner, is a delightful person, knowledgeable, professional, and passionate about the sea. He knows every hidden corner of the islands and guided us with great confidence, sharing interesting facts and anecdotes that made the experience even more special. Alongside him was Inga, his companion, whose smile and kindness created a welcoming and relaxed atmosphere on board. Together, they form the perfect team: discreet when necessary, but always attentive to every detail to ensure our well-being. The Scirocca boat is welcoming, comfortable, and meticulously maintained, ideal for experiencing Ponza and Palmarola from the sea, with stops in dreamy coves and crystal-clear waters. An experience I highly recommend to anyone who wants to experience Ponza and Palmarola in an authentic and unforgettable way. A heartfelt thank you to Gianluca and Inga for their professionalism, hospitality, and passion for what they do! ??
Two fantastic days in Ponza and the surrounding area with Gianluca at the helm! Besides being a brilliant and attentive skipper, he's also a friendly, welcoming, and always available person. He made us feel at home from the very first moment and guided us to wonderful places in complete safety and relaxation. It was a pleasure sharing this experience with him: we couldn't have asked for more!
We were welcomed by Gianluca and his partner, very kind and friendly people, and very available for any request. The boat is a haven of relaxation, large, elegant, and comfortable. Excellent amenities. In short, it's the best choice for a fantastic day.
We took a trip to the islands of Ponza and Palmarola, a group of 13 people, I really have to compliment Captain Gianluca on behalf of myself and all the members of the group for the way he welcomed us and looked after us throughout the day, also giving us precious advice on where to stop. But above all I must say that he was fundamental in being able to reassure my wife, who was terrified of the sea and can't swim, to the point that at the end of the day she even managed to take a bath with a life jacket (they had been trying to convince her for 20 years!!) So thanks again to Gianluca and his partner, I highly recommend it for anyone who wants to spend a day on a boat in complete relaxation, we will definitely repeat the experience.
We had a wonderful day, Gianluca is a very sociable and friendly person, we will definitely return.
Gianluca is the perfect owner; he welcomed us warmly and made our experience wonderful. Highly recommended! Comfortable and spacious boat.
We spent two wonderful days on a boat with Gianluca, a kind, helpful, and very experienced person. He always made us feel at ease. It was a truly pleasant and relaxing experience. We had a wonderful time and have no doubts: we will definitely do it again and we would recommend him without hesitation.
Thanks to Gianluca for the wonderful day he made us spend, everything was perfect, the boat was beautiful, you really made us feel good in everything, excellent spaces inside the boat to spend a very pleasant day with friends, and thanks to Gianluca you will never forget it, see you soon we will definitely be back
the skipper Gianluca is a very good person. very empathetic. he made us feel like we were at home. truly an exquisite person. very beautiful boat with wood that transmits an atmosphere of other times. we will definitely go out with him again. fantastic experience we recommend it to everyone
We spent a fantastic day aboard a beautiful, well-kept and comfortable boat. Gianluca was professional and made us feel at ease right away. We were a group of 15 people, including adults and children, and we all found space to relax. An unforgettable experience that I highly recommend to anyone looking for a special day with their family. In the future we will definitely refer to Gianluca for other boat trips.
With this review we want to recommend Gianluca, an exquisite sociable person attentive to every need of his guests, we spent the day of August with Gianluca going to Ponza (very honest price seeing the other possibilities) he made us live a perfect day, the cleanliness and welcome were optimal but above all very important is the relationship established with the owner during the day, very spacious boat welcoming very clean. I recommend this experience that we will certainly repeat.
A beautiful experience ?
Congratulations to Gianluca, everything perfect. Gianluca was very helpful, very kind, approachable and did his utmost to make our day unforgettable. We will definitely see each other in the future Highly recommended
