There are a number of different options open to you if you are looking into chartering a yacht.
Bareboat Yacht Charters are where you take full responsibility for the yacht and the crew onboard, with the freedom to explore the sailing area as you wish. We naturally expect a level of experience suitable for the size of yacht and the expected conditions for your chosen sailing area. Depending on the sailing area (Solent or cross channel etc) we will either ask for evidence by way of a sailing CV or for any formal qualification such as an ICC.
Ensure you are comfortable with your experience as operating outside of your comfort zone is likely to end in tears. Know your own limits and don’t forget the limits of your crew !!!
Bareboat Yacht CharterThis takes away the responsibility in that you have a the services of a skipper. This is a great way if you are new to sailing, exploring an unfamiliar area or just simply want to enjoy chartering a yacht without any of the responsibility or worry.
A skippered yacht charter is popular in the UK for day charters which may be being used for hospitality or entertainment as it allows the host to focus.
If you are in a new area then using a skipper can show you some of the best spots. Remember you don’t have to have the skipper onboard for the whole time, may be just for a few days at the beginning.
