What is a bareboat charter?

A bareboat charter is a type of yacht or boat rental where the renter is responsible for operating the vessel themselves, without the help of a crew. This means they must have proper experience and certification to sail or operate the boat.

Bareboat charters are usually rented for weekly periods or longer, and may include a range of sizes, from small sailboats to large yachts. The renter is responsible for provisioning the boat with food and supplies, as well as any repairs or maintenance needed during their rental period.

Bareboat charters offer a more independent, private and flexible way to enjoy the water, allowing renters to customize their itinerary and explore more secluded areas or villages. However, it also requires a higher degree of responsibility and knowledge of boating safety and navigation.
