Getting Started with Bareboat Charters
Introduction
Bareboat charters offer you the freedom to rent and operate a yacht independently. If you're inexperienced in yacht handling, you have the option to hire a captain to navigate for you. With a bareboat charter, you get just the yacht?"no extras. You'll need to arrange your own food, entertainment, and water sport equipment, either by bringing them or renting separately. These yachts typically range from 30 to 50 feet, and you can choose from power, sailing, or catamaran options.
Booking Requirements
To book a bareboat charter without a captain, you must prove your capability to manage the yacht. This can be done by presenting your experience with similar vessels or showing a boating course certificate. While most Caribbean charters don’t require certification, it’s necessary in places like Greece. If you need a captain, remember their fee is not included in the charter price.
One-Way Charters
Some companies offer one-way charters, allowing you to sail to a destination and leave the yacht there. This typically costs more, as the company needs to retrieve the yacht. It might be more economical to extend your charter and return the yacht yourself.
Booking Process
You can conveniently book a bareboat charter online. Typically, a deposit of 25% to 50% of the total cost is required. You’ll receive a contract and a sailing resume from the charter company to complete. Most companies accept credit cards, though some smaller ones may only accept checks, cash, or money orders.
What’s Included
When you choose bareboat charters, you mainly get just the yacht. While some offer a dinghy in the package, Florida companies often require you to rent one. As dinghies are essential, account for this extra expense. These charters usually lack home amenities like television or microwaves. You’ll need to provide your own linens, dishes, food, and water supplies.
International Charters
If you plan to visit another country, don’t forget your passport. It’s essential for docking at international ports.
By considering these aspects, you can enjoy the freedom and adventure that bareboat charters offer, whether locally or abroad.
