Princess v65 in Porto Ercole

Princess V65 in Porto Ercole, heading for the Argentario

From Porto Ercole, this 20-metre yacht opens up a lovely day of sailing around the Argentario promontory, with the possibility of setting course for the neighbouring islands depending on the agreed itinerary. I recommend it if you want to enjoy the sea in a group, without giving up real relaxation spaces on board. The rental is advertised from €2,000 per day.

A spacious yacht, designed for outdoor living

This Princess V65 Hardtop, a 2002 model refitted in 2022, welcomes up to 12 passengers. It has four cabins and eight berths: two double cabins with en-suite bathroom and shower, then two double cabins with bunk beds and a shared bathroom. Its advertised power is 2,600 hp. The captain and hostess are included in the rental according to the description.

The outdoor spaces set the tone: sunbathing areas at the bow and stern, a cockpit table for 8 to 10 people, a sun awning, a teak deck and a swimming platform with ladder and outdoor shower. Inside, you will find air conditioning, a large kitchen with a central island, a dinette and hot water. The equipment also includes a tender with outboard motor, a paddleboard, a watermaker, an autopilot and outdoor speakers. The description also mentions Starlink Wi-Fi, an ice maker, a TV with Netflix and water toys.

A day at sea around the Argentario

Departing from Porto Ercole, you can consider sailing along the Argentario coast or towards Giglio and Giannutri, depending on the conditions and the chosen program. Talamone and the Maremma park coastline provide other landmarks for imagining an outing, without these stops being guaranteed. Here, the captain is included: you can therefore enjoy the trip without driving the yacht. The 15 hp tender is described as usable without a licence; this does not specify the conditions applicable to driving the main yacht.

The listing advertises a rate from €2,000 per day; the APA is to be paid two weeks before boarding. Water, coffee, soft drinks, fruit, small snacks and a bottle of champagne are advertised as included. For a day, a weekend or a longer stay, I advise you to clarify the itinerary and the fees before booking, especially in the height of the summer season. The yacht can suit a group that wants to combine sailing, swimming and time on board, with a program defined in advance.
