Bareboat Chartering

Things to Know

Bareboat chartering allows you to be the captain! If you have sailing experience, an adventurous spirit, and yearn for that live-aboard lifestyle, then a bareboat charter is definitely for you. Bareboating provides the utmost in vacation freedom – go where ever you want, whenever you want!

Am I qualified?

We usually ask that you have sailing experience on a boat of similar size. It’s also helpful to have at least one crew member of similar experience.

While a bareboat charter certificate is not mandatory, safety is always our #1 priority. Even if you’re highly experienced, we recommend that you take the NauticEd Bareboat Sailing Series of courses. Refresh your knowledge on anchoring, navigation, maneuvering a large sailboat in a tight marina, and other nuances of bareboat chartering.

If you are still unsure of your sailing abilities, or simply want the knowledge of a local skipper, we can help you hire a professional captain at a daily rate, then continue on your own when you feel comfortable. If you’d rather not cook, hire a chef and have all of your meals prepared for you.
