Do I need a license to rent a boat?

For bareboat rentals, a boat license and sailing experience are generally required. For skippered rentals or crewed cruises, no license is needed. Canal boats are license-free.

Which destinations does Filovent offer?

Filovent operates in 13+ destinations: Greece, Croatia, Italy, the Caribbean, French Riviera, Corsica, Spain, Turkey, Seychelles, French Polynesia, Egypt, Norway (fjords) and French canals such as the Canal du Midi.

What’s the difference between a skippered rental and a crewed cruise?

With a skipper, you rent the boat and a professional handles navigation. With a full crew, you are a passenger on a commercially operated yacht with captain, hostess and chef — a premium all-inclusive service.

Can I rent a canal boat without prior experience?

Yes. Canal boats are license-free and beginner-friendly. A short briefing is provided at departure to get you comfortable with handling and locks.
