Frequently Asked Questions
Do I need a license to rent a self-drive boat?
No, our self-drive boats are designed for guests who want to enjoy boating without needing a speedboat license. They are a popular choice for couples, families and first-time boat renters.
I have never driven a boat before. Can I still rent one?
Yes. Before departure, we provide a full briefing on how to operate the boat, basic safety rules and the approved navigation area. Many guests choose self-drive boats for their first boating experience.
Is fuel included in the self-drive boat rental price?
Usually on bareboat rentals fuel is charged separately based on consumption. You can always check the specific boat details before confirming your booking.
Is there a deposit for self-drive boats?
A booking deposit may be required depending on the boat and rental terms. If a deposit applies, it is clearly stated in our boat listings.
Will someone explain the route before we leave?
Yes. Before departure, we explain the approved navigation area, safe swimming spots, local boating rules and the best route for the day based on weather conditions. This helps you feel confident before leaving.
How many people can join a self-drive boat?
Capacity depends on the specific boat model. Each self-drive boat has a maximum passenger limit and this must always be respected for safety and comfort.
What should we bring on a self-drive boat?
We recommend bringing sunscreen, hats, sunglasses, water, towels, swimwear and a phone in a waterproof case. Some options include snacks, water and / or a cooler box while others do not, so please check your booking details in advance.
What should we wear on a self-drive boat?
Comfortable summer clothing, swimwear and non-slip sandals or boat-friendly footwear are ideal. A light windproof layer is also useful, especially for the return trip.
Can I take the boat out if it is windy?
Bareboat rentals always depend on safe weather and sea conditions. If conditions are not suitable, we may suggest a route change, rescheduling or in some cases cancellation. If the rental cannot go ahead because of bad weather and you cannot move it to another available date, we offer a 100% money-back guarantee.
Can we visit famous spots and hidden beaches with a self-drive boat?
Depending on sea conditions and the approved route for the day, self-drive guests may be able to explore well-known coastal areas, hidden beaches and beautiful swimming spots. The final route is always confirmed during the pre-departure briefing for safety.
