Bareboat Charter
A bareboat is a boat that is rented without crew. You are required to navigate it yourself. You should provide certification and previous boating experience. You can also add a skipper to your bareboat charter if you don't have the necessary qualifications but still want to do a bareboat charter. However, most reputable bareboat charter companies will be happy to provide crew (typically skipper and steward/-ess), provisioning, water toys and re-fuelling services at an additional cost.
Chartering a bareboat offers the significant advantage of independence, allowing you to enjoy uninterrupted time with your friends or family. You have the freedom to chart your own course, set your schedule, and tailor your route according to your preferences.
