What do we offer?
There are plenty of boats to choose from in Italy and you can book one in just a few clicks! If you’re seeking a more luxurious experience, you can also consider hiring a crew on your boat. The crew will take care of all tasks such as dining and cleaning, as well as making sure that you have a relaxing holiday.

At Scansail, we also provide an advanced provisioning allowance (APA), a fee paid in advance which covers the entire costs of provision during your boat hire.
When to go on your yacht hire in Italy?
Italy is a large country which spans almost 800 miles in length between the north and south. The peninsula is dotted with beaches all around, but the weather varies between the different places. If you plan on visiting the northern regions of Liguria or Veneto, we recommend hiring a boat between May and September. During this period, the water temperature is perfect for swimming and there is guaranteed sunshine. In the south of the country, the weather tends to be milder during the winter months, meaning that you can sail for a longer period of the year. July and August are the busiest months, but we recommend hiring a boat between April and November here.
