Rental FAQs

What types of boats do you offer for rent?
CLAPI Boats provides a fleet of exceptional day boats, carefully selected for their elegance, comfort, and performance. Our models include iconic brands such as Pardo, VanDutch, Okean, Fjord, and De Antonio, available for day rentals with professional crew.

From which ports can I embark?
Our main departures are from Cannes, Saint-Tropez, Antibes, and Monaco. Upon request, we can arrange pick-up from other regional ports, subject to an additional fee.

Is having a skipper mandatory?
Yes. To ensure a smooth, safe experience that meets our high standards, all our boats are rented with a professional skipper. Some models may also include a hostess or steward, depending on your preferences.

What are the standard hours for a day rental?
A full day typically runs from 10:00 AM to 6:00 PM. We also offer sunset and evening cruises for an even more exclusive experience.

Can the onboard experience be personalized?
Absolutely. You may bring your own drinks and snacks or choose from our bespoke services: champagne, fine wines, gourmet platters, music, water activities, or even helicopter transfers.

What additional fees should I expect?
Fuel is charged separately, based on the boat’s actual consumption. Additional fees may apply for special requests such as different ports, extra services, or additional crew.

Boat Sales:

Do you assist buyers as well?
Yes. Our team supports you at every step of your purchase: defining your needs, selecting the right boat, conducting inspections, sea trials, handling administrative paperwork, insurance, and delivery.

Do you offer both new and pre-owned boats?
We offer both, with the same high standard of quality. Each boat undergoes a thorough inspection and is presented with full transparency, ensuring satisfaction and reliability.

Can I list my boat for sale through your agency?
Absolutely. We provide comprehensive sales management: professional photo shoots, ad writing, targeted marketing, qualified viewings, and full support through to the final transaction.

Can I test a boat before finalizing a purchase?
Certainly. A sea trial is arranged once your interest is confirmed, allowing you to make your decision with complete peace of mind.

Boat Management:

What does your management service include?
Our management service covers all technical, administrative, logistical, and commercial aspects of your boat. You benefit from tailored support: regular maintenance, oversight of repairs, crew management, seasonal assistance (winter and summer), as well as revenue optimization through rental services if you wish.

Do I retain full control over my boat?
Absolutely. You remain the sole owner of your vessel and approve every strategic decision. Our role is to free you from day-to-day constraints while ensuring your boat remains in perfect navigational condition and holds its market value.

Do you offer turnkey rental management for my boat?
Yes. If you want to generate income when your boat is not in use, we handle the entire rental process: pricing strategy, professional photo content creation, listing on specialized platforms, and reservation management. You stay free to use your boat whenever you want.

What are the benefits of having CLAPI Boats manage my boat?
You gain a single dedicated contact, privileged industry connections, and full transparency on costs, generated income, and maintenance. Thanks to our expertise, we maximize your time, peace of mind, and the longevity of your investment.
