Bwa 27 - Evolution in Porto Santo Stefano

Bwa 27 Evolution in Porto Santo Stefano, heading for the Argentario

Departing from Porto Santo Stefano, this rigid inflatable gives you the freedom to plan a day at sea between the coves of the Argentario and the nearby islands. I recommend it if you want to sail on your own, stop for a swim, and enjoy a boat spacious enough to carry up to nine passengers.

A well-equipped 8.5-meter rigid inflatable

The Bwa 27 - Evolution dates from 2010 and measures 8.5 meters. Its 300 hp engine suits coastal outings; the stated capacity is nine passengers. On board, the listed equipment makes for a day alternating between cruising and swimming: sun awning, sunbathing areas at the bow and stern, outdoor table, shower, ladder, and swim platform. A cooler keeps refreshments on hand. The boat also has a GPS, a depth sounder, and a VHF, as well as an electric windlass, outdoor speakers, a USB port, and a teak deck. Masks and snorkels are also listed. The quoted rate starts at €680 per day; check the amount and availability for your chosen date.

A day between the Argentario and the islands

<pFrom Porto Santo Stefano, you can cruise along the Argentario coast and choose your stops according to the weather and sailing conditions. The island of Giglio and Giannutri are among the nearby offshore destinations, but the trip and stopover options must be confirmed before departure. The rental is planned without a skipper and a boating license is required. The description also mentions the possibility of a skipper, at an additional cost: ask about this option when booking. Plan your itinerary without overloading it, keeping time for swimming breaks and the return to port.

This boat will suit a group that holds a license and wants to organize its own outing, with room to share the day without giving up the useful equipment on board. In summer, the popular time slots can go fast; I advise you to check dates, the final price, and the expected sailing conditions early. If you prefer not to take the helm, ask whether the skipper option is available. Then all that's left is to pick a cove and let the coastline set the pace.
