Just Silk Panama 18 TYPE VII (3) 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 set out to sea without a license and reach the coves of the Argentario at your own pace. Rented without a skipper, this motorboat is a practical option for a day of swimming in a small group, departing from the Tuscan port.

A compact boat for seven passengers

Launched in 2021, this inflatable boat measures 5.6 meters and can accommodate up to seven passengers. Its 40-horsepower engine allows navigation in autonomy, without a boating license. The listing describes it as easy to pilot; if you have never taken the helm, take the time to carefully listen to the instructions before departure and to check the sea conditions. On board, you will find a sun canopy, an outdoor shower and a swim ladder for breaks in the water. The front and rear sun decks offer spaces to settle in, while the cooler keeps drinks cold. Outdoor speakers and a USB port complete the listed equipment. The listed rate starts at €182 per day. Fuel is not included: its cost is calculated according to actual consumption. A return at 8 p.m. is possible for a €50 supplement.

A day around the Argentario

Departing from Porto Santo Stefano, you can follow the Argentario coastline and look for a cove to stop and swim. The islands of Giglio and Giannutri lie off this part of Tuscany, but check with the rental company about the permitted distances, the feasible itinerary and the state of the sea before planning a crossing. Talamone and the Maremma park provide other landmarks to locate the coast, without this meaning that they are accessible or included in a given outing. Navigation remains self-drive: you steer the boat and organize your day, without a skipper.

I would recommend it to a group that wants to explore the coastline without renting a larger boat, and that is comfortable with the idea of taking the helm. In summer, it is best to book in advance and ask for the practical details about departure, fuel and navigation zones. This way, you can prepare an outing suited to the weather and enjoy swimming breaks without rushing.
