Boat Rental Salerno: Self-Drive Amalfi Coast, No License

Soak up the sun under a large canopy while snorkeling hidden bays at your own pace

Self-drive boat rental in Salerno on the Amalfi Coast, no boating license required, running 8 hours from 9:00 to 17:30. The Allegra All 19 Open comes equipped with snorkeling gear, shower, sun canopy and safety equipment. Previous boat-driving experience is mandatory, though a skipper can be hired separately. A €200 credit card security deposit is required and refunded on return.

The experience

The Allegra All 19 Open is a fast, modern speedboat with a 40/75 hp Yamaha engine, built to let you explore independently. You get a shower onboard, Bluetooth stereo, boarding ladder and a large sun canopy. The kind of setup that makes a full day on the water comfortable rather than just functional. Snorkeling equipment comes with the rental, so you can stop at bays and coves without extra gear to arrange. The boat leaves Salerno at 9:00 and returns by 17:30, giving you eight hours to navigate the Amalfi Coast's shoreline.

Previous experience operating a boat is a requirement to book this rental. If you've driven a boat before, you're cleared to take the helm alone. If you haven't, a skipper is available for an additional €100. They handle navigation while you enjoy the coast and the stops. Either way, you're not following a fixed itinerary. You choose where to anchor, which villages to approach from the water, and how long to spend at each spot. The boat's speed and size make it practical for covering distance or lingering in one place.

A €200 security deposit on your credit card is standard and gets refunded when you return the boat. Fuel, parking and any other surcharges are separate. If you're staying in Salerno without a rental car, this rental solves the problem of reaching the Amalfi Coast's water-side spots that are harder to access by land. You're not dependent on bus schedules or taxi routes once you're on the water.
