Rimini and its Riviera Romagnola are destinations one thinks of when deciding to plan a vacation. It’s almost 15 kilometers of beach and more than 200 well-equipped beaches, with shallow waters and little current, make it a perfect stop for families with children, while its lively nightlife makes it a favorite stop among teenagers: a city, in short, with a very wide tourist offer. You may have heard that its waters can't exactly be described as crystal clear, but that's because someone who didn't cross it by sea talked about it; if you rent a boat, you might have second thoughts.

Where to rent a boat in Rimini?

The Marina di Rimini, the city's port, is on the list of the most beautiful marinas in the world, so it’s very popular amongst sailing enthusiasts and boat lovers in general. This is also due to its entrance: a channel harbor that ensures that, whatever the sea conditions are, you can always dock there.

And it’s precisely here that we advise you to rent a boat, to use it as a starting point from which to reach different destinations with different itineraries. We suggest you some of them:

- If you decide to move south, you will skirt the coast and, without realizing it, you will be in the waters of Riccione: by sea, it will seem like a big city, and it is no coincidence that both are super trendy amongst young people, this last one often hosting the best international Dj’s in its nightclubs. Continuing down you will find yourself in Gabicce Mare, gateway to the north of the Marche region and Blue Flag due to the quality of its sea: it looks like the perfect place to dive from a boat! You will immediately notice the change of region: a totally blue vision of the sea will alternate with another of green hills, the land emerging from the water, a natural spectacle worth witnessing.

- Returning to the aforementioned Gabicce Mare, a few strokes away is the famous bay of Vallugola, a delightful little harbor that is part of the Regional Natural Park of Monte San Bartolo: a small and intimate paradise. To get there you can follow the itinerary described above, but you can also rent in Cattolica if you have less time and want to travel less miles. Moreover, we add that from Cattolica itself you can choose the opposite direction and, passing through Milano Marittima, reach Cervia, in the province of Ravenna, where you will find long sandy beaches and large pine forests.

- If you decide to go north, you will pass by the beaches of Torre Pedrera, with its Saracen tower, Igea Marina and Bellaria, in the center of the Adriatic Riviera of Emilia, from which, if you raise your head on a clear day, you will have an irreplaceable view of the spires of the mountain on which the Republic of San Marino is located: the famous micro-state within the State! Continuing on, you will find yourself in Cesenatico, an ancient fishing village that will reveal itself to you in all its characteristic tradition.
