Do I need a boating license to rent a boat or a dinghy?
It depends on the power of the engine. If the engine has a power of less than 40 horsepower, there is no requirement for a boating license; if it's higher, then a license is necessary. Among the available rental options, you will find boats and dinghies both with and without the requirement for a boating license, which is clearly indicated in the activity preview.

Is it difficult to drive a dinghy?
It is not difficult; however, if you are a novice without a boating license, we suggest choosing a dinghy instead of a boat. If you have a boating license but do not have much experience in operating a vessel, choose a dinghy that can also be operated without a license. The more powerful and larger the boat, the more experience is required to drive it. In general, it is always advisable to listen carefully to the initial briefing where you will be provided with all the necessary information for a safe day at sea.
What should I wear?
Sardinia has mild temperatures all year round. During the summer, we recommend bringing a hat to protect yourself from the sun, a bathing suit, and a towel for swimming during stops. If you feel it's necessary, also bring a light sweater depending on the time of day you choose to take the dolphin watching tour. If you are taking a dolphin watching tour in winter, bring a warm jacket and a hat. Don't forget your camera.
What should I bring on the dinghy?
The necessities for a perfect day at sea include sunglasses, a bathing suit, beach towel, a hat, sunscreen, pareo/sarong for her, t-shirt/shorts for him, and a light sweater/sweatshirt for everyone. Don't forget something to drink and light snacks to refresh yourself. Often at sea during the high season, there are itinerant dinghies that visit all the beaches selling drinks, ice cream, and snacks.
What difficulties might I encounter?
When sailing at sea, it is important to stay alert, not get distracted, and continuously try to orient yourself, especially if you do not know the area well. In the areas you visit, there may be shallows or emerging rocks; be very careful, listen to the briefing, and keep your eyes open. Stay away from the coasts and the buoys marking the beaches. At sea, sometimes weather conditions can change suddenly; in this case, get closer to the port or prepare to return, or call the number of the provider that was given to you in the morning during the explanation.
