Bareboat Yacht Charter

A Bareboat Yacht Charter is one where no crew or provisions are included, although many elements, like provisioning packs, are available. If your group has their own captain, then you are likely to opt for Bareboat Yacht Charter which is the commonest form of hiring a Boat. You become responsible for sailing the boat and looking after all her equipment. Obligatory insurance can be added or included.

To most Bareboat Charters you can add options that vary from yacht charter agent to yacht charter agent. Many automated booking platforms will not give you full visibility of these options until you book. At SailChecker we think that it is this detail that is important and would shop around to ensure you get a charter to meet your requirements. In addition, we offer options beyond those listed by the charter agent, maybe a qualified instructor for those seeking to gain a charter license or a sailing qualification or preparation for a long voyage.

As the commonest form of boat hire, you can find a yacht in every corner of the globe. Providers range from owners renting their own yachts to agents owning or operating large fleets in multiple locations.

Most charter companies have a short list of compulsory items. These do vary and are something to be wary of when using an automated booking system. They often include some kind of deposit or an option to waive and provide a smaller deposit. Almost all charge a cleaning fee and many a starter pack.
