Boat rental in Ischia: skipper or self-drive? The first choice is who will handle the boat. A self-drive rental gives your group independence within the agreed navigation area. A private tour with a skipper lets you enjoy the coastline while someone else takes care of navigation. Here is how the two services differ.
Self-drive: a full day, with fuel charged separately Licence-free rentals use 40 HP boats: Predator 540, Predator 570 and Romar Bermuda 570. Capacity varies by boat, so compare the specifications rather than assuming every model carries the same number of guests. The rental window is 09:30–18:00. There is no self-drive half-day option. Fuel is not included in the displayed prices and is paid according to use. You receive a briefing before departure; the team confirms requirements, departure arrangements and the permitted area according to conditions.

With a skipper: choose your island and time on board Romar, Fratelli Aprea and Salpa offer private skippered outings. The standard full day is 10:00–17:00. For Ischia or Procida separately, you can request 10:00–14:00 or 14:30–18:30. Visiting both islands requires a full day. Romar with skipper starts at €500 for a full day or €350 for a half day; Fratelli Aprea starts at €750 or €375. These rates are per boat, with fuel and the listed services included. Salpa prices are quoted on request. Rates may vary during the season and are confirmed by the team.

Which boat fits your group? Predator 540 accommodates up to five guests, Predator 570 up to six and Romar up to five. Fratelli Aprea accommodates up to seven and Salpa up to ten. A larger boat is not automatically the right choice: consider your group, preferred experience and whether you want a skipper. Tell the team about children or particular needs before confirmation. Stops, swimming and routes depend on weather, sea conditions and safe access.

Request availability before making plans Choose your experience and boat, select a duration where available, and enter your date, group size and contact details. You can check the final summary and indicative price before sending. An enquiry is not an instant reservation and no payment is collected by the request form. The team contacts you to confirm availability, departure details and the final quote. If you want a later departure, discuss it with the team before the rental day; an earlier return is arranged with the skipper or rental team.

The data we use The form collects your name, email, phone number, experience, boat, date, number of guests and departure port. It may also include destination, navigation mode and your selection summary. An identifier is assigned to the enquiry. Do not provide identity documents, health information, card numbers or other guests’ personal details. No online payments are collected. An enquiry may also include your preferred departure time, which the team will check and confirm.
Purposes and legal bases We answer enquiries, check availability and arrange the service at your request, on the basis of pre-contractual steps and, once confirmed, performance of a contract (GDPR Article 6(1)(b)). Any tax and accounting obligations are based on law (Article 6(1)(c)). Preventing misuse relies on our legitimate interest in security (Article 6(1)(f)), balanced against users’ rights. The form does not subscribe you to newsletters and does not involve profiling or automated decisions.
Required and optional information Required fields are needed to process your enquiry. Without them the form cannot be submitted; you may contact us directly to agree on the information needed. You provide the information yourself. Submission is an enquiry, not a confirmed booking. Advertising consent is not required to answer your message.
Providers, recipients and external links The infrastructure uses Cloudflare for the website and form endpoint; email delivery is designed to use Google Apps Script/Gmail. Information is intended for the staff handling enquiries and the providers needed for the service, in their respective privacy roles. WhatsApp, Instagram, Facebook and Tripadvisor open only when you choose their links and their notices apply. The form’s WhatsApp link may include your completed details in a prepared message, which you can edit before sending. We do not sell the information collected by the form.
Data retention Enquiries, quotes and bookings remain in the private management archive for consultation, service management and historical review, without automatic deletion after inactivity. The controller must periodically review the need for retention and delete or anonymise data no longer needed, including following data-subject requests, subject to legal duties and protection of rights. Accounting records are kept for 10 years unless the law requires longer. Email and external archives are managed separately.
International transfers Cloudflare and Google may process data outside the European Economic Area. For their locations, processing places and information on transfer safeguards, consult the provider notices linked below or contact the controller. Any transfers require the mechanisms provided under GDPR Articles 44–49, such as adequacy decisions or standard contractual clauses, where applicable.
Your rights You may request access, correction, erasure, restriction and, where applicable, portability, and object to processing based on legitimate interests. Where processing relies on consent, you may withdraw it without affecting earlier lawful processing. Write to powerboatischia@gmail.com. We normally respond within one month, subject to GDPR extensions. We may request only the information needed to verify your identity. You may complain to the Italian data protection authority (garanteprivacy.it) or the competent authority in your country.

Read the full notice × Cookies and browser storage What the website uses We use technical functions to run the website. With your consent, we can remember your language and measure page views and active pages, without advertising or profiling. You can refuse, choose separately and change your choice in the footer.
Language preference The ischia-language localStorage key stores only the language code if you allow it in the initial notice or preferences. Declining does not prevent browsing or using the language selector. The preference is used for at most 180 days after your choice; on the next visit after expiry it is removed unless renewed. You can revoke it from the footer: the language code is deleted immediately.
Remembering your privacy choice The ischia-privacy-choice localStorage key stores the notice version, your language-storage choice and the date of that choice. It respects your preference without showing the notice on every page. It contains no name, contact or booking details and is not sent by the website to the server. The choice is valid for 180 days, after which the notice is shown again; material changes to the notice may require a new choice. Counts page views and estimates active pages. Random identifier in page memory, no form data and no analytics cookies. Optional.
Form data and external services The code does not store completed form details in cookies or localStorage. They remain on the page while you complete it and are transmitted when you send the enquiry. Your selection summary may appear in the page address. External service links are not embedded widgets; when you open them, those services may use their own cookies under their own notices.
Managing preferences On entry, you can accept or reject optional features using equally prominent buttons, or choose language and statistics separately. Both remain off until consent. Privacy preferences in the footer let you change or withdraw your choice. Refusal does not restrict browsing or enquiries. The stored choice contains language, statistics, version and date, lasts 180 days and contains no booking data.
