Many of Germany's smaller boats such as torpedo boats, coastal boats, etc. were shipped overland and by river to Italy. Just as the six Type II U-boats were sent to the Black Sea. I also suspect that they did capture (as you stated) and use a good many boats from the French and the Italians as the Med war progressed.
