What destination?
Italy has always been a favorite destination for tourists from all over the world.
And with its 7456 km of coastline, small and large bays, magnificent gulfs, suggestive beaches and enchanting coves, it is the perfect destination for any type of boat holiday.
From large seaside towns to small fishermen villages, it is easy to find marinas and ports that offer quality tourist services suitable for all needs for an unforgettable boat holiday and in the name of social distancing.
In our country boat rental is widespread throughout the territory and the offer of charter and boat rental is huge.
But which destination to prefer? Wherever you decide to disembark, Italy offers everything you want when you think of a boat holiday: not only sea but also history, nature, good food and services.
Remember, however, that it is possible to reach the same destination from different ports. It is good to identify a nautical base, that is, a port of departure, as close as possible to the places you want to visit.
For example, to visit the Aeolian Islands it is good to consider as a starting point to rent a boat a port such as Milazzo, Vibo Valentia, Portorosa or marina Capo d’Orlando; to visit the Pontine Islands instead better the port Neptune; it is always good to do a preliminary search!
Is a boat holiday expensive?
Renting a boat for a week is no more expensive than booking a three-star residence.
Obviously different factors affect the prices, the type of boat, the period, the presence or not of the skipper and/or other staff.
But unlike other types of holidays, autonomy and privacy are guaranteed on a boat!
The boat is a real small house, with all the comforts to feel at home and with all the advantages of the holiday, you have at your disposal a complete kitchen that allows you to manage meals and spending independently but above all there are no time constraints to be respected nor rules of behavior to keep!
And then think about how different it is to go on a beautiful beach by land or go there by sea, especially because the most suggestive and exclusive beaches are those that can only be reached by boat.
So the boat holiday is the ideal way to avoid the lines and crowded places.
