What are the rules on the water?
Stay more than 500 metres from the shore. In harbours and channels go slowly and keep to the right, and give way to boats coming from the right, to sailing boats and to ferries. If the weather changes, put on your life jacket and head to the nearest harbour; if it is not Lazise, call us.
What if the boat gets damaged?
Damage is paid for by the hirer. The propeller, even if only partly damaged, is charged in full: €200.
The full rules
  1. Check the condition of the on-board equipment, the propeller and the cushions.
  2. Rent a Boat da Gianni is not responsible for items left on the boat or for improper use of it.
  3. The customer pays for any damage to the boat. The propeller, even if only partly damaged, is charged in full at list price (€200).

  5. Leaving and entering harbours, keep to minimum speed and stay to the right. Give way to boats coming from the right, to sailing boats and to public transport boats. In channels, keep to minimum speed. Always stay more than 500 metres from the shore.
  6. If the weather changes suddenly, put on the life jackets straight away and head to the nearest harbour; if it is not the one you left from, call Rent a Boat da Gianni.

Fifty years at the Porto Vecchio

The first boats were red and orange motorboats with 20 hp engines, and the sign on the pier was in Italian and German. The boats have changed, the place is the same.
