BERTRAM 35 with skipper in Porto Santo Stefano

Bertram 35 in Porto Santo Stefano, heading for the Argentario

Departing from Porto Santo Stefano, this motor Bertram takes you to explore the Argentario coast from the sea, with family or friends. With a skipper on board, you can enjoy the day without having to take the helm and consider an itinerary suited to the current conditions.

A 12-meter Bertram, refurbished in 2018

Built in 1970, the Bertram 35 measures 12 meters and was entirely refurbished in 2018, according to its description. It accommodates up to 12 passengers and has a cabin with four berths. Its stated power is 600 hp. On board, the listed equipment notably includes a sun awning, a forward sunbathing area, an outdoor table, an outdoor shower and a swim ladder. You will also find masks and snorkels, a refrigerator, a stove with oven, hot water, a 220 V outlet and a USB outlet. For navigation: GPS, depth sounder, VHF, autopilot and bow thruster. The listing also mentions a television and an electric windlass. The rental is offered with a skipper; the description states that an aperitif, a fish-based lunch and fuel are included. The listed rate starts at €1,600 per day. The renters' rating is 4.67/5 based on 7 reviews.

A day at sea around the Argentario

From Porto Santo Stefano, the Argentario coast offers a playground for cruising along its coves and looking for an anchorage, depending on the itinerary agreed with the skipper. Further afield, Giglio and Giannutri may tempt you to set course for the islands, while Talamone and the Maremma coastline point to other horizons in the region. These destinations are not guaranteed for the trip: distance, weather and the day's program all matter. The rental is advertised with a skipper, but the listing also states that a boat license is required. I therefore advise you to check this point when booking, in order to clarify the conditions applicable to your trip.

This boat may suit you if you want to share a day at sea with several people, with berths on board and a lunch advertised as included. In summer, it is best to ask early about available dates and specify the number of passengers as well as the places you would like to discover. I would also compare the proposed program with the forecast weather: the best itinerary is still the one that leaves room for peaceful sailing.
