Bareboat charter is for the do-it-yourself skipper who would like to be in charge of his or her own boat throughout the trip. These yachts are usually sailboats and are usually 50 feet or shorter in length (46 or less for multihulls), and generally, these charters are less expensive. Depending on the charter venue, a resume, a careful checkout , and insurance deposit are usually required, and in some instances some level of certification may be required. The charter company may encourage, or require, the skipper to take a professional captain along for a day or two until the charterer is comfortable handling the boat and its systems.
Bareboat charters are rentals of boats usually owned by individuals under the management of a charter company. These may be large companies operating multiple fleets in different parts of the world, all year round, or local outfits that manage a handful of boats in season.
Larger companies tend to offer larger boats, typically in the 35 to 50 foot range for sailboats. Smaller companies in more seasonal areas more commonly offer boats 25 to 40 feet long.
Bareboat charter yachts have historically been sailboats, but with the introduction of sailing catamarans, power cats have been growing in popularity.
