Rent Boat Bagnaia, the sea of Elba right off your bow

We are a small boat rental company based in Bagnaia, a village in Portoferraio overlooking the northern side of the Gulf of Portoferraio. For years, we have been helping Italian, German, French and Northern European visitors discover the Island of Elba by sea with our carefully maintained fleet of RIBs and motor boats. Our philosophy is simple: to make boat rental accessible, safe and enjoyable, even for first-time boaters, without compromising on the quality expected by more experienced sailors.

EXPERIENCE AT SEA

Get to know and experience

The Island of Elba

The Island of Elba, the third largest island in Italy, boasts 147 km of coastline, with wide bays, secluded coves, sandy beaches and distinctive pebble beaches. Exploring it by sea is the best way to experience its incredible variety. Our boat rental base, located in Bagnaia in the Gulf of Portoferraio, gives you complete freedom to explore: choose your boat, your route and your departure time.

What we offer

Dinghy rental without a boating licence

Dinghies with engines up to 40 HP, accommodating 4 to 8 people, ideal for comfortably exploring the Gulf of Portoferraio and reaching the beaches along the northern coast.

Three more powerful dinghies equipped with 150 to 300 HP engines, accommodating up to 12 people – perfect for larger groups and for exploring even the most remote parts of the island.

OUR TEAM

Our team at Rent Boat Bagnaia

Behind the Rent Boat Bagnaia name is a small team of experienced sea professionals: some take care of maintaining our fleet, others welcome guests and provide the pre-departure briefing, while others manage bookings and assist customers before they arrive. We are local people who know the sea around the Island of Elba because we live it every day. When you set off on one of our RIBs, you’re departing with a team that knows every sheltered bay, every change in the wind, and every hidden cove where you can enjoy a swim away from the crowds.
