Sailboat charter
A bareboat option for experienced sailors
On a bareboat charter, the charterer takes charge of the boat, provided they meet the required qualifications and experience. Certificate, experience and acceptance requirements may vary with the boat and the applicable regulations.
This option is for sailors who want to make their own passage plan and take responsibility for the boat and the voyage.
The charterer's qualifications, sailing experience and boat-handling skills are assessed. Accepted certificates and experience requirements may vary with the boat and the applicable regulations, so they must be verified when you send your request.
On a bareboat charter, the route, weather assessment, anchoring and harbour manoeuvres are the charterer's responsibility. Current marine forecasts, official notices to mariners and protected-area rules should be checked every day.
