Boat Rental on Lake Maggiore

For most of our rental boats you don't need a boating licence. In Italy you can operate a boat without a licence if the engine power is up to 40.8 HP (30 kW); you just need to be at least 18 and have a valid ID. More powerful boats require a licence, or you can rent with our dedicated skipper. This lets you reach the Borromean Islands, Cannobio or Santa Caterina del Sasso on Lake Maggiore at your own pace.

You can sail without a license with engines up to 40.8 hp (30 kW); a license is mandatory when the power exceeds this limit. All our rental boats within this limit can be driven without a license. (Check which models are included and which are not.)

Yes. We offer a dedicated skipper service for the entire rental period. The skipper can pick you up wherever you prefer: your hotel, restaurant, or an agreed-upon departure point. Skipper requests must be made at least 48 hours in advance.

Yes: to operate a boat without a license, the minimum age is 18.

We have two pick-up locations: Verbania and Cannero. Each boat has its own assigned pick-up location, which you will be informed of when you book.

There are three Borromean Islands, located in front of Stresa and Baveno: Isola Bella, with the sumptuous Borromeo Palace and its baroque gardens; Isola Madre, with its botanical garden; and Isola dei Pescatori, a genuine fishing village full of restaurants. You can reach them by public ferry from Stresa, Baveno or Verbania, or by private boat. With your own boat you can visit them in any order, free from ferry schedules, and stay as long as you like on each one.
