Boat charter

The charter of a RIB, a motorboat, a yacht or a sailing boat, for a day, a weekend or your entire stay.

With the boat comes whoever takes the helm: a skipper for smaller craft, a crew for larger vessels. You decide the itinerary with them in the morning, depending on the wind and sea on the day. Lunch is on board, on boats that have a galley, or at a restaurant reached from the sea.

Write to the agency with your dates, how many of you there will be and what you would like to do at sea: swim in a cove, lunch at anchor, head out to the islands. The agency suggests one or more boats, along with the charter terms, and books once you confirm.

On the day of your outing, the boat will be waiting for you in port at the agreed time. If needed, the agency also arranges your transfer to the port and provisions to take on board.

The sea has the last word. On days with a mistral, an outing changes course or date, and the agency lets you know as soon as it knows.

The proposal sets out item by item what is included in the price: fuel, provisions and moorings outside the port of departure. Anyone who wants to take the helm themselves must hold the boating licence required for that boat. In July and August, the most sought-after boats are booked well in advance. In the national park of the archipelago of La Maddalena, certain areas are closed to anchoring, and whoever takes the helm knows the routes.
