Just Silk Panama 18 TYPE VII (2) license-free in Porto Santo Stefano

Just Silk Panama 18 in Porto Santo Stefano

From Porto Santo Stefano, the Just Silk Panama 18 TYPE VII lets you take to the sea on your own and cruise along the coves of the Argentario at your own pace. This license-free boat is suitable for an outing with a small group, with everything you need to enjoy swimming and shelter from the sun between stops.

A compact boat, designed for the day

This motorized inflatable boat, model year 2022, measures 5.6 meters and can accommodate up to seven passengers. Its 40-horsepower engine can be driven without a license and the rental is without a skipper: you take the helm yourself. On board, the sun awning provides shade, while the outdoor shower and the swim ladder make swimming breaks easier. The sunbathing areas at the bow and stern offer spaces to settle down, and the outdoor speakers accompany the navigation. A cooler and USB ports are also provided. The rental is listed from €182 per day; the rating shown is 5/5, based on five reviews. Fuel is not included: its cost is calculated according to actual consumption.

A day along the Argentario

Setting off from the port, you can devote the day to cruising along the Argentario promontory, spotting its coves and inlets, then choosing a sheltered spot for a swim. Porto Santo Stefano faces the island of Giglio and, further south, Giannutri: these are landmarks of the coast, but check before setting off whether a crossing matches the sailing conditions and the planned duration of your rental. Talamone and the Maremma coast offer other ideas for situating your getaway, without presuming the itinerary suited to this boat. As you sail without a skipper and without a license, plan a simple route, check the weather and keep some margin for the return trip.

I would recommend it to a group that wants to discover the coast at its own pace, without organizing an outing with a skipper. In high season, it is better to book in advance and confirm the times as well as the conditions of the day. Returning at 8 pm is possible for a €50 supplement; also remember to include fuel in the budget. A relaxing day in the coves starts with a realistic itinerary and a few things ready for swimming.
