TAILORED YACHTING EXPERIENCES

Bareboat yacht charters are the ultimate choice for sailors who want freedom, flexibility, and adventure at their own pace. With no crew onboard, you take full command of the yacht—whether it’s a sleek monohull, spacious catamaran, or motor yacht. Perfect for experienced skippers, bareboat charters let you explore hidden coves, anchor in secluded bays, and set your own itinerary. Available in destinations like Croatia, Greece, the Caribbean, and beyond, our bareboat charters combine fully equipped yachts, transparent pricing, and 24/7 support for peace of mind. And if you’d prefer an extra helping hand, you can always add a professional skipper and/or cook/hostess, giving you more comfort while still enjoying the independence of a bareboat charter.

FAQ

A bareboat charter means you rent the yacht without a professional crew. You (or someone in your group) act as skipper, giving you full freedom to sail at your own pace.

Yes, in most regions you’ll need a valid skipper’s license (e.g., RYA Day Skipper, ICC, ASA 104). Some destinations also require a VHF certificate. If you don’t have the right qualifications, you can always add a professional skipper.

Absolutely. Even though it’s called “bareboat,” you can choose to add a skipper, cook, or hostess. This gives you extra comfort and local expertise while still keeping the flexibility of a private yacht.

You can choose from monohull sailing yachts, catamarans, and smaller motor yachts. Sizes typically range from 30ft to 55ft, depending on the destination.

Your yacht will come fully equipped with safety gear, navigation instruments, galley equipment, linens, and a dinghy with outboard. Most also include autopilot, GPS, and sometimes water toys like snorkel gear.

Exclusions usually cover fuel, provisioning (food & drinks), end-cleaning, marina/mooring fees, security deposit/insurance, and VAT/local taxes.

Prices vary by season, yacht size, and destination. Expect €1,500–€3,500 per week for smaller monohulls, €3,500–€6,500 for mid-size yachts, and €6,500+ for larger or premium models.

Top choices include Croatia, Greece, Turkey, and Italy in the Mediterranean; the BVI, Bahamas, and Grenadines in the Caribbean; plus exotic options like Seychelles and Tahiti.

If you don’t have enough experience or a license, you’ll need to add a skipper. Many first-time clients start with a skipper for the first few days, then take over themselves once they’re confident.

You can bring your own food and drinks, order provisions in advance, or use supermarket delivery straight to the marina. Many bases also offer starter packs for convenience.
