What is a Bareboat Charter?

A bareboat charter is a private yacht charter where you take responsibility for sailing and operating the yacht yourself, without a professional crew on board.

It's an ideal choice for qualified and experienced sailors who want the independence to create their own itinerary and enjoy a more hands-on sailing holiday.

You'll have the freedom to decide where to sail, where to anchor and how to spend your time, subject to local sailing regulations, weather conditions and the requirements of your chosen yacht and destination.

If you love sailing, a bareboat charter puts you firmly in control.

There is no fixed itinerary. Spend longer in the places you love, change your plans or discover somewhere completely unexpected.

Your holiday is yours to shape. Enjoy lazy mornings, long lunches, afternoon swims or sail on to your next destination when you're ready.

Explore islands, coastal villages, secluded anchorages and bustling harbours. Your route can be as relaxed or adventurous as you want it to be.

For people who genuinely enjoy sailing, being at the helm is part of the holiday. A bareboat charter gives you the opportunity to experience the destination from the water while taking responsibility for the yacht.

The yacht is yours for the duration of your charter, giving you the privacy and flexibility to enjoy time together without sharing your holiday with other guests.

Choose from monohull sailing yachts and catamarans in a range of sizes and layouts, depending on your group, experience and destination.
