Sailing conditions in Procida

As a small island in the Gulf of Naples, Procida offers favorable sailing conditions for both beginners and experienced sailors. Procida experiences predominantly mild to moderate winds, making it an excellent destination for relaxed sailing. The prevailing winds in the area are generally north-westerly as in the neighboring island of Sicily, with average speeds ranging from 5 to 15 knots. However, wind conditions can vary, and it's always recommended to check the local weather forecast before setting sail.

Sailing season in Procida generally lasts from April until October, but the summer months July and August are the most popular months for tourists to visit the island. If you don’t plan on starting your adventure on the island, you can always take a boat from Naples to Procida. The island's natural geography and the presence of nearby islands create a barrier that helps to minimize the impact of strong currents and waves. This makes it an ideal destination for those seeking a more tranquil sailing experience in the Tyrrhenian Sea.

Another great thing about a sailing adventure in Procida is the fact that the island has well-equipped marinas and harbors that cater to visiting sailors. These facilities provide services such as moorings, fuel, water, electricity, and waste disposal.

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

A boat rental in Procida is one of the most affordable options to see the Italian coast and its stunning islands. It can often be even cheaper than renting a hotel room - especially during high season. Of course the prices depend on the time of year, the type of boat you would like to rent and the amount of people traveling with you.

Renting a speedboat or RIB in Italy are the cheapest options for a boat rental, but bear in mind that they are only suitable for day charters in Procida as they are not equipped with the facilities needed to stay on board a boat for a few days. A RIB rental comes at an average price of 40 EUR per person per day while a speedboat rental comes at an average cost of 70 EUR per person per day. A sailboat rental in Procida will be even more affordable as it only costs 58 EUR on average to charter a sailboat in Italy. Motorized boats that are suitable for week-long trips or more will be slightly more expensive to charter in Procida, but it’s worth it. You can basically bring your vacation rental with you wherever you go and have the best time. A motorboat charter in Italy comes at an average price of 150 EUR per person per day while a catamaran charter in Italy costs 140 EUR on average per person per day.

What type of boat is best for sailing in Procida?

It all comes down to the sailing experience you aim at having in and around Procida. If you just want to relax, take in the sun and explore the most beautiful beaches this part of Italy has to offer, you should opt for a boat with a shallow draft. If you are more of an adventurer you might want to consider renting a boat with a sail that allows you to feel one with nature.

Rent a catamaran in Procida

Pros of renting a catamaran in Procida

Your goal is to sunbathe at all the stunning beaches Procida and the surrounding islands have to offer? Charter a catamaran in Procida to make the most of your relaxing sailing experience here. The shallow draft allows you to sail closer to the shore than you would be able to with a different type of boat.

A catamaran rental in Procida is also a great choice if you want to feel relaxed in a comfortable and spacious environment. Many boats can feel claustrophobic or basic, but catamarans are generally bigger than other types of boats, making the bedrooms feel less like a small cabin on board a boat, but rather a lovely, but smaller hotel room - just with better views when waking up.

Another great advantage of a catamaran rental in Procida is the fact that catamarans stand on two hulls. This makes them feel less shaky than other boats. People who get seasick easily will be particularly pleased to hear this.

Cons of renting a catamaran in Procida

If you want to travel longer distances in one go a catamaran charter in Procida might not necessarily be the wisest choice. Catamarans are more often than not lighter than boats like gulets or sailboats and therefore a lot slower.

Another downside of a catamaran hire in Procida is the fact that catamarans are pretty big. You might enjoy all the extra space you get on board the boat, but you will also face some challenges - especially when it comes to finding a spot for mooring at the marinas. This might become especially tricky in the busy summer months July and August. And if you do find a nice spot, you will have to learn the art of parking your boat in crowded areas - definitely not an easy undertaking.

Rent a sailboat in Procida

Pros of renting a sailboat in Procida

Simply and easy: Charter a sailboat in Procida if you care about the environment. If you are looking for a boat that doesn’t cause additional CO2-emissions and sails just with the force of the wind a sailboat is just the right boat for you.

Harness the power of the wind and go on a big adventure in the Tyrrhenian Sea. A sailboat hire in Procida is one of the most affordable options to do so. And you don’t have to pay extra for petrol as sailboats solely sail with the wind.

Cons of renting a sailboat in Procida

One of the downsides of a sailboat rental in Procida is the fact that they are more difficult to operate. You need quite a lot of sailing skills in order to be able to sail a sailboat on your own. But don’t worry if you don’t have these skills right now - you can always hire a skipper in addition to your bareboat charter. You can either let the skipper do all the work or make it a very hands-on-experience and learn from the expertise of a more experienced sailor.

Another disadvantage of a sailboat charter in Procida comes down to the fact that sailboats have a keel. This might restrict you from sailing too close to the shore. It can even be relatively dangerous as the keel can hit something underwater that you might not necessarily see from above.

Rent a motorboat in Procida

Pros of renting a motorboat in Procida

A motorboat rental in Procida is a fantastic choice for anyone who wants to get from island to island or beach to beach in a very short amount of time. Motorboats are generally faster than other types of boats, making them the perfect choice for anyone who has a long to-do-list, but only a limited amount of time on their hands.

Another great thing about a motorboat charter in Procida is the fact that motorboats come with a shallow draft. You can sail as close to the beautiful beaches you would like to explore as fast as possible and access them very easily.

Cons of renting a motorboat in Procida

While a motorboat rental in Procida comes with a lot of advantages, there are also some disadvantages you should consider before renting one. One of them is the fact that motorboats solely run on fuel, making them one of the more expensive options when it comes to a boat holiday in Procida. You might even have to pay extra for fuel - in addition to your bareboat charter.

Motorboat rental in Procida

Luxury boat holidays in Procida

Charter a luxury yacht in Procida if you have the necessary funds available and basically want to experience an all-inclusive holiday on a boat instead of a hotel. The views are more impressive too! Most luxury yachts are hired with a full crew, meaning that you sail with an experienced captain or skipper who is navigating and operating the boat, as well as the staff that is responsible for your meals and providing other services upon request. You won’t have to lift a finger and can simply enjoy your vacation!

What kind of boat license do you need when renting a boat in Procida?

Anyone who wants to rent a boat in Italy needs to be in possession of a valid boat license, but there are some exceptions. You can drive a motorboat in Procida without a license if it doesn’t exceed 40 hp. You can even sail a sailboat in Procida without a license if you don’t go further than 6 kilometers away from the spot you picked it up.

EU-boat licenses are automatically valid in Italy, foreign boat licenses are valid if they fulfill the requirements of an Italian boat license. If you are unsure about the status of your boat license and want to be on the safe side, you should carry the International Certificate of Competency or short ICC.

If you don’t have a boat license, but still want to enjoy the joys of a boat holiday in Procida, you can always hire a skipper in addition to your bareboat charter. That way you can lean back and leave the hard work to someone else.
