1How do I book?
How does our booking system work? The website, connected to our internal management system, displays the boats available for the selected dates. Simply follow the process by entering your personal information and submitting the booking request. When is my booking confirmed? The confirmation page will appear immediately after completing the process. Our booking team will contact you within 24 hours with further details and payment instructions. The charter is only considered confirmed when the 50% deposit is paid.
2What type of boat should I rent?
It all depends on you. Your vacation will be customised based on your needs, number of people, and preferences. We offer bareboat charters, crewed charters, and all-inclusive charters.
3What type of yacht license do I need?
If you don't have the experience to sail alone, don't have a boating license, or simply want to sit back and relax and let someone else do all the work, we can recommend a skipper. With years of experience and a wealth of local knowledge, our skippers will be the ideal guides for your vacation.
4What is the minimum age required to rent a boat with Sail Italia?
You must be at least 18 years old.
5Are dogs allowed on board?
Yes, you can bring your dog on board by paying an additional security deposit of €300.
6What kind of equipment will I find on board?
Sail Italia has the most up-to-date equipment and all the extras a sailor could desire, including GPS satellite navigation systems, autopilots, and CD players with cockpit speakers. Some boats also feature generators, air conditioning, solar panels, and watermakers. The deck areas below deck are modified from standard factory models to offer more space, comfort, and luxury.
7Is there WiFi on board?
We're pleased to offer WiFi on all boats in our fleet from our bases in Procida, Portorosa, and Cannigione. It can be requested based on your boarding schedule.
8How do we get to the starting base?
You can see a detailed description of how to get to each destination on the "Bases" page. We can also arrange transfers to and from the relevant airports or train stations. Just ask our staff.
9What travel documents do I need?
Depending on your nationality, you may only need an identity card or passport. It's also very important to bring your yacht license.
10Where will we embark?
The first and last night of your charter are free within the main marina. In other marinas, mooring fees vary depending on the time of year, the size of your yacht, and the destinations you wish to visit.
11Will I be able to make and receive phone calls?
This depends on your mobile carrier and your destination.
