Book Your Boat and Dinghy Rental with or without a Boating License

Piccola Nautica rental service allows you to manage your day at sea with complete autonomy.

Each vessel is delivered after a thorough inspection and technical briefing to ensure safe and easy navigation along the coasts of Leuca.

The Advantages of Renting Compared to a Guided Tour

Choosing a rental is the ideal solution if you’re looking for an experience different from group excursions:

Ease of Handling: Our vessels without a license are designed for those with no experience. They are intuitive, stable, and equipped with quiet 4-stroke engines that ensure low fuel consumption.

Flexibility in Timing: You aren’t tied to fixed schedules for swimming or visiting the caves. You can decide how long to stay in a particular cove or where to stop for lunch on board.

Privacy and Space: The boat is exclusively for your group. You’ll have full access to the sunbathing areas and onboard amenities without having to share space with other tourists.

Tailored Itinerary: You can choose to visit the Western Side (Ionian) or the Eastern Side (Adriatic), or focus only on your favorite caves based on the day’s weather and sea conditions.

Is it difficult to drive a boat without a license?

No. Before departure, we provide a detailed technical briefing. Our 40 HP boats are designed to be intuitive, stable, and safe even for those who have never driven a boat before.

What happens if I need help at sea?

We provide continuous support. If you have any questions or need assistance while navigating, our staff is ready to reach you or provide immediate help by phone or on the water.

Is fuel included in the rental price?

No. As standard practice, the vessel is delivered with a full tank and must be returned in the same condition. You only pay for the actual fuel consumed during the day. Our 4-stroke engines are specifically chosen to minimize fuel consumption.

Where can I go with the rental boat?

You can explore both the Ionian and Adriatic sides, admiring the main caves of Santa Maria di Leuca (such as Grotta del Soffio, Grotta delle Tre Porte, and Grotta del Pozzo). We’ll guide you to the best areas based on the wind conditions.

What should I bring on board?

We recommend bringing sunscreen, water, beach towels, and a snorkel mask. All mandatory safety equipment (life jackets, flares, etc.) is already provided on board.
