Rent a boat in Baia

Baia is an ancient Roman resort town located in the province of Campania. It stretches along the shores of the Gulf of Naples. The city is one of the most important archaeological sites in Italy. One part of the region is underwater, and it is very popular among divers. If you want to see the sights of Baia, check out the Aragonese Castle, the Sanctuary of Serapis, and the Parco Sommerso di Baia underwater archaeological park.

The center of the ancient town of Baia is Pozzuoli Bay. It is incredibly popular with divers and is located just a hundred meters from the coast.

The seaside town of Baia is still a popular resort today. Some of its priceless historical artifacts are hidden underwater. Perhaps, in Pozzuoli, you will be interested in seeing the ancient Pozzuoli Cathedral (the Basilica of San Procolo Martire). It is also possible to visit the Aselmeyer Castle in Naples.

Due to volcanic formations, there is a change in ground level, which must be taken into account while sailing. There are few closed bays along the coast for safe anchorages, especially in poor weather conditions. In autumn, due to the stronger wind, the rolling waters in the bays can increase.

Baia is renowned for its mild Mediterranean climate. The hottest period here is in June-August. The temperature fluctuates around +25°C – +28°C but can rise to +33°C – +35°C. The coldest time of the year is from December to February, but there are no frosts during this period. The average air temperature is about +10°C.

Yachting on Baia has an average level of difficulty. The most favorable time for yachting along Baia is from May to October. There are plenty of marinas and equipped yacht berths, but they are usually overcrowded in summer. So, sometimes, it is difficult to find free space.

The cost of renting a yacht directly depends on the rental time and the chosen model. If you decide to rent a yacht for a week, it will cost you €500 for a small boat.
