American Marine Texano (Magnum-type hull) 16 mt. ft. in Porto Santo Stefano

American Marine Texano departing from Porto Santo Stefano

From Porto Santo Stefano, the American Marine Texano opens up the Argentario coast for a day at sea at your own pace, between swims, cruising and stops to imagine depending on the conditions. With its 16 metres and capacity of 10 passengers, it suits both a group outing and an extended escape: it has three cabins and six berths.

A spacious and well-equipped motorboat

This Texano model, of the Magnum type, is an American Marine motorboat built in 1994. Its stated power is 1,360 horsepower and the listing indicates a length of 16 metres. On board, the outdoor spaces include a table, a sun awning, sunbathing areas at the bow and stern, as well as a teak deck and a swimming platform with a ladder. For breaks in the water, you will also find masks and snorkels, a paddleboard and a towable buoy.

Comfort is rounded out by air conditioning, fans, hot water, an outdoor shower, an electric toilet and bedding. The boat also has Wi-Fi, an autopilot, a 220 V socket and outdoor speakers. A boating licence is required. The listing does not specify whether a skipper can be provided: it is therefore best to clarify this point before booking, as well as the navigation arrangements. The listed rate starts at €2,000 per day.

A day at sea around the Argentario

Departing from Porto Santo Stefano, you can consider exploring the Argentario coastline and its coves, or heading towards the islands close to the shore, such as Giglio or Giannutri. Talamone and the Maremma park also provide reference points for imagining a cruise further north. These destinations are not guaranteed by the listing: the route, duration and stops will depend on the agreed itinerary, the weather and the sailing conditions. For a self-drive outing, the licence is mandatory; check with the rental company whether a skipper option is available.

I recommend this Texano if you are looking for space to share a day at sea, with the possibility of spending the night on board for up to six people. In summer, plan your booking ahead and specify from the first exchange the number of passengers, the desired itinerary and the conditions related to the licence. This way you can choose an outing suited to your group and fully enjoy the coast, without leaving the practical details until the last moment.
