Explore historical Capri

The island of Capri is not just a fantastic place to enjoy the sunny weather and a boat holiday, it is also showcasing some very interesting historical sites. One of those sites is Villa Jovis, where the Roman emperor Tiberio would come on vacation. This is a great example of Roman power and architecture on the island. Before the Romans there were the Greeks, many ceramics have been found in the Grotta delle Felci which is also a popular tourist attraction.

There has been evidence that the island has been inhabited for 400,000 years. And not only that! There has been proof found that it was once attached to the peninsula of Sorrento.

Sailing conditions in Capri

A boat rental on the isle of Capri probably means that you come here for the fantastic weather and to swim in the sea. However, the weather also depends on the season you intend on visiting the island. Like many other places in Italy, the summer months are generally dry and hot while the winter months are milder. Sailing season generally lasts from April until October, but July and August are the most popular months. During these months temperatures above 30 degrees are very common.

The sea surrounding Capri is generally not very rough, making it even a great spot for beginners to practice their skills. Winds are generally north-westerly with an average speed of 3 to 4 knots.

How much does it cost to rent a boat in Capri?

Capri is a very popular tourist and sailing destination in Italy. While the rest of Italy is extremely affordable, a boat hire in Capri can be a little bit pricier. Prices can increase especially during the busy summer months, but if you book your boat in September, the water is still warm, the sun is still out and prices are decreasing again.

Rent a gulet in Italy for an average price of 50 EUR per person per day. However, sailing a gulet requires excellent sailing skills. They are certainly one of the most difficult boats to operate and navigate. Renting a sailboat in Italy will cost 58 EUR per person per day on average. Operating a sailboat is also not the easiest thing to do, so you should definitely be prepared to do so or hire a skipper in addition to your bareboat charter. Sure, this will increase the overall price of your sailing holiday in Capri, but it is worth it in the name of safety. Rent a RIB in Italy at an average of 40 EUR per person per day. Rent a speedboat in Italy at an average price of 70 EUR per person per day. Speedboats are the most popular boats you can rent in Capri, however, keep in mind that they are fun and make for a great adventure outdoors, but they are not really set out for overnight stays. If you are looking at renting a catamaran or a motorboat in Italy, you have to keep in mind that it will be more costly than renting other types of boats, but you get all the amenities you can dream of and you will have no problem sleeping in one of the bedrooms. It will cost you 150 EUR on average to rent a motorboat in Italy per person per day and 140 EUR to charter a catamaran in Italy per person per day.

What type of boat is best for sailing in Capri?

Consider what kind of boat holiday you would like to experience in Capri, then think of the requirements your boat should fulfill in order to make this happen and then choose your boat. After all, if you want to discover all the stunning beaches you can dream of you would be disappointed if you cannot visit them, because you chose the wrong boat.

Rent a speedboat in Capri

Pros of renting a speedboat in Capri

Rent a speedboat in Capri for a day to explore the island on water without having to commit to a week-long boat holiday. You get to cruise around the island and discover everything from a new perspective. You can even drive to the more remote and secluded bays and beaches to swim in the turquoise waters. Some of them are quite difficult to reach by car or foot.

Charter a speedboat in Capri if you love high speed vehicles. You can race across the Mediterranean and along the coast of Capri at full speed and get from one place to the other in a very short amount of time.

Cons of renting a speedboat in Capri

One of the downsides of a speedboat hire in Capri is the fact that they are generally not made for overnight stays. Some might come with a tiny cabin and a little bathroom area, but this is not the most common option.

Speedboat charter in Capri

Rent a motorboat in Capri

Pros of renting a motorboat in Capri

Charter a motorboat in Capri if you want to explore all the stunning beaches you can find scattered all over the island and that you can best reach by boat. Motorboats have a shallow draft, making them the ideal water vehicles to reach these scenic spots. It is safe to drive closer to the shore and to explore all the natural beauty of Capri from up close.

A motorboat rental in Capri is also perfect for anyone who needs to get from one place to the other very quickly or someone who has a very limited amount of time available to see everything they want to see. You can even discover places beyond Capri - head over to the Amalfi coast or Sicily for some extra fun adventures.

Cons of renting a motorboat in Capri

One of the downsides of a motorboat charter in Capri is the fact that motorboats only run on fuel. This means that you have less flexibility than with other types of boats. You always need to ensure leaving the marinas with a full tank and arriving back there in time to refuel. This doesn’t just make motorboats less flexible, it also makes them more expensive.

Another downside that you should consider when choosing to rent a motorboat in Capri is the fact that the noise of the engine can be quite loud. This could make undisturbed conversations on board a little bit more difficult.

Motorboat rental in Capri

Luxury boat holidays in Capri

A luxury yacht rental in Capri is the perfect choice for anyone with the necessary funds and desire to spend it on luxury goods. You will find all the basic amenities on board to store and prepare your own food while on the water and a full crew is included most of the time. So you can lean back and enjoy your vacation while someone else is taking care of operating the boat and preparing your meals.

What kind of boat licence do you need when renting a boat in Capri?

Anyone who wants to rent a boat in Capri needs to be in possession of a valid boat licence. Those with an EU boat licence will be happy to hear that they are automatically valid in Italy. Those who come from outside of the EU need to check if their licences fulfill the requirements of an Italian licence.

If you neither have a boat licence nor want to obtain one in the near future, you can always hire a skipper in addition to your bareboat charter. This will make for an extra comfortable boat holiday in Capri.
