The Practical Details of Noleggio gommoni in Campania
If you’re looking for a hassle-free way to explore the coast, this inflatable boat rental ticks many boxes. The boats — either Lomac Yamaha 40/60 hp or 40/70 hp models — are designed for simplicity, so no boat license is necessary. This means anyone can hop aboard with just a driver’s license, making it accessible even if you’re not an experienced sailor.
The boat is equipped with thoughtful amenities. An awning provides shade when the sun is intense, but don’t forget your sunscreen — Italy’s summer sun can be fierce, especially on the water. You’ll find an ice chest to keep your drinks cool, a ladder for easy swimming access, a shower for rinsing off after a swim, and a bluetooth radio to keep the vibe lively.
The rental is available from 9:00 a.m., giving you plenty of time to plan your day, and must be returned by 6:00 p.m. This grants a generous 8-hour window, perfect for exploring beaches, hidden coves, or simply relaxing on the boat.
