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

Before choosing the right vessel for your boat rental in Positano, 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.

For a more luxurious holiday, you might consider a gulet, and for an authentic sailing experience a sailboat.
