What is a Bareboat Charter? A bareboat charter is an arrangement for the chartering or renting a yacht whereby no crew or provisions are included as part of the agreement; instead, the people who rent the vessel are responsible for taking care of such things. A bareboat charter sailing vacation offers complete independence and freedom and is your chance to explore new cruising grounds at your own pace. Squeeze in as many overnight stops and daytime anchorages as you like, or take your time and make the most of every destination on your itinerary. On a bareboat charter vacation you have the freedom to discover the best sailing destinations on your own terms.This type of charter is targeted toward experienced sailors and semi-experienced sailors.

With this option, you are still free to hire a skipper for the first anchorage until you are comfortable handling the boat yourself.…
