Do you want to take to the open sea and set sail? Whether it's for one week or much longer, find out how to rent a motorboat easily with Filovent. Simple and intuitive, booking a boat has never been easier.
For your first sailing experience, motorised boats will be perfect for you. They are easier to manoeuver than sailing boats and offer a different feeling of speed. The propulsion is exclusively provided by one or more engines, which makes it possible to cover long distances more quickly. On the other hand, the shallow draught makes it easier to navigate in shallow waters and will allow you to dock in areas that are difficult for a sailing boat to access.
As far as regulations are concerned, all sea trips with a boat whose engine power exceeds 6 HP will require a boating licence. You should also keep in mind that depending on the model of motorboat, fuel consumption can vary greatly.
So, to satisfy your desires with a semi-rigid boat, open-hull boat, day-cruiser, cabin-cruiser or even a speedboat, discover our wide range for your next sea trip. Do you like water sports? We have thought of everything, you will be able to benefit from numerous water sports such as towed buoys, water skiing or wakeboarding for the pleasure of all.
A wide choice of destinations
From the Mediterranean Sea to the Indian Ocean, via the Caribbean Sea and the Atlantic Ocean, not forgetting the Baltic Sea, motorboat rental adapts to your desires. The Filovent fleet is present in all four corners of the world to offer you its services. Whether you want to go for one day or one week, we have what you need!
In-board or out-board motorisation?
There are two types of motorisation for a motorboat: "in-board" and "out-board". In the first case, the engine is located inside the boat, it can be in a hold or in the engine room. Also, the rudder and transmission and other equipment are located in the hull of the boat. Therefore, none of this equipment is visible on the boat. In contrast, in the out-board, the engine, transmission and rudder are compact and located at the rear of the boat.
The different types of motorboats
Categories of motorboats are numerous and it's sometimes difficult to differentiate. To help you, the Filovent team offers you a description of the different types of boats we offer. So, motorised boats will no longer be a mystery to you!
Semi-rigid boats - inflatable boats
The semi-rigid boat can be soft-bottomed or semi-rigid, as its name suggests. It has inflatable bladders also called floats. In most cases, the semi-rigid boat is used as a dinghy. Its motorisation system is out-board.
Open-hull boats
The open-hull boat is a boat with an open deck and no cabin. It is perfectly suited for a day of coastal sailing. As with semi-rigid boats, it has an out-board motor.
Day-cruisers
The day-cruiser is a motorboat with a small cabin, a bathroom and a kitchenette. This type of boat is very pleasant for a day trip to enjoy the sun. Depending on the model, its motorisation may be out-board or in-board.
Cabin-cruisers
The cabin-cruiser is a kind of in-between boat. Similar to day-cruisers, the cabin for resting is much larger and more comfortable. It has sunbathing areas, either in the front or at the rear of the boat, depending on the model. This type of boat can measure between 7 and 14 metres, for the largest, classified as a yacht. It is suitable for coastal navigation and for a few days cruising. Its motorisation system is generally in-board but it is not rare to see out-boards.
Speedboats
The speedboat is a boat known for its optimum comfort, comprised of one or more cabins and a spacious living area. It is perfectly suited for a comfortable cruise. The motorisation of this type of boat is in-board to ensure power and speed.
