Selva D640 in Talamone

Selva D640 in Talamone, heading for the Maremma

From the port of Talamone, this rigid inflatable boat allows you to set out to sea independently and plan your day according to the weather and your wishes. With eight seats, it is suitable for a small-group outing to cruise along the Maremma coast, stop at anchor or enjoy a swim.

A 6.4-meter rigid inflatable boat to pilot

The Selva D640, launched in 2009, measures 6.4 meters and has a 115-horsepower engine. It accommodates up to eight passengers and is rented without a skipper: a boating license is therefore required. The listing shows a rate starting from €350 per day. Renters rate it 4.71/5 based on four reviews, a useful benchmark, even though this number remains limited.

On board, the advertised equipment is simple and suited to a day at sea: a sun awning to create shade, a sunbathing area at the bow, an outdoor shower and a swim ladder. A USB port is also available. I recommend bringing water, sunscreen and swimwear, without counting on equipment that is not mentioned in the listing. The maximum capacity is eight people; with several of you, also think about organizing bags and provisions to keep space on board.

A day at sea departing from Talamone

Talamone opens onto the Maremma coastline and gives access to sailing toward the Argentario promontory. Depending on the weather, the time available and local conditions, you can explore the shoreline or consider a more ambitious trip to the islands of Giglio or Giannutri. They are not guaranteed as destinations of the rental: check the distances, the state of the sea and the navigation rules before setting off. The Maremma park and its coastal areas are also to be located in the region, but the possibilities of approach or landing depend on the regulations in force.

I recommend this boat to people who hold a license and want to pilot it themselves and share a day at sea with several people. In summer, anticipate your booking and check the forecasts before choosing your itinerary; if you are hesitant about the navigation, ask for local instructions when taking over the boat.
