When is the best time of year to rent a boat?

During the high season, from May to September, Monopoli experiences delightful weather, with average temperatures ranging from the 60s°F to the 70s°F. This period is ideal for boat rentals, as the pleasant climate allows you to explore the enchanting coastlines, indulge in water sports, and enjoy the stunning vistas along the Adriatic Sea.

In the months just outside of the high season, specifically April and October, average temperatures in Monopoli range from the 50s°F to the 60s°F.

What type of boat is best for a Monopoli boat charter?

Before choosing the right vessel for your boat rental in Monopoli, you first have to think about the duration of your holiday. If you’re only going to sail for a few days, it is best to opt for a daily charter such as a motorboat or a RIB. With the speed of these vessels, you’ll be able to see everything on your wish list in no time. If you’re planning a longer charter of a week or more you should choose a vessel that includes amenities you’ll need during your stay. Catamarans and yachts have the space and accommodations on board to ensure a comfortable stay on the water. For a more luxurious holiday, you might consider a gulet, and for an authentic sailing experience a sailboat.
