Sacs 780 in Porto Ercole

Sacs 780 in Porto Ercole, heading for the Argentario

From Porto Ercole, this rigid inflatable boat gives you the freedom to cruise along the Argentario coast and choose your stops throughout the day. I recommend it if you have a boating license and want to sail independently, with room for a group of eight passengers. The listed rate starts at €650 per day; fuel is calculated separately based on consumption.

A well-equipped eight-meter rigid inflatable boat

The Sacs 780, launched in 2020, is 8 meters long and has a 300 hp engine. Its maximum capacity is eight passengers. On board, the bow and stern sunbathing areas let you enjoy breaks, while the bimini provides shade. The teak deck, swim platform, ladder and outdoor shower make anchoring moments and swimming easier. A cooler is also provided.

For navigation, you will find a GPS, a depth sounder, a VHF and an electric windlass. USB ports and outdoor speakers complete the listed equipment. The beam stated in the description is 3.10 meters. The rental is offered without a skipper and requires a boating license. A skipper can also be provided at an extra cost, at the advertised rate of €120 per day. The renters' rating is 4.78/5, based on three reviews.

A day between the Argentario and the islands

Setting off from Porto Ercole, you can consider sailing along the Argentario promontory, with stops in the coves accessible from the sea. Depending on conditions, available time and fuel, the islands of Giglio and Giannutri can also be part of your outing ideas. Talamone and the Maremma park coastline lie further north: it is better to adapt your itinerary to the weather and distance rather than trying to cover everything in the same day. When sailing independently, keep in mind that a license is required; if you prefer to hand over the helm, ask about the skipper option before booking.

This boat suits a small group that wants to alternate swimming, cruising and relaxing in the sun. In high season, I advise you to check availability early and specify your itinerary plans, especially to estimate fuel. If you are planning an outing around the Argentario, the Sacs 780 offers a convenient base for organizing your day at sea at your own pace.
