Under Italian law, boats that do not exceed 10 meters (hull length) do not need to be registered. They are called “vessels” in bureaucratic jargon. To give you a concrete example: it is like bicycles. No license plates, reduced paperwork, simplified safety equipment.
The advantage of 10 meters in extra-large size
But in reality, these 10-meter boats are much larger than they look from the stated data, reaching up to 11 meters in overall length, and most importantly, shipyards find solutions to make them perfect boats not only for day trips, but also for sleeping on board with family and friends, and they have hulls capable of undertaking long sailings. Capable of excellent sailing averages.
