It’s time to experience the vacation of a lifetime on board a bareboat sailing charter in the Caribbean. The world’s best vacation secret! A bareboat sailing charter
is unlike any cruise, resort or beach front hotel. It’s all of the best
wrapped into one. You choose the destinations, the beaches and the
itinerary. On your bareboat sailing charter, you’re the captain.

Understanding a Bareboat Sailing Charter
"Bareboating" refers to a chartering a yacht that you sail yourself, though you can also hire a captain to help you sail it. A bareboat sailing charter
yacht size is from 30 to 50 feet in length and you can charter a
conventional single hulled yacht (monohull), a catamaran or a
powerboat. A sailing charter is far more popular, and common, than
powerboats.

A bareboat sailing charter comes equipped with everything needed to operate them from kitchen utensils to towels, sheets and bedding. Almost all bareboat sailing charter
companies in the Caribbean provide you with a dinghy with outboard at
no charge. In other areas this may be an optional extra. The essentials
like initial fuel and water are included. Meal provisions must be
purchased on your own unless you have made prior arrangements. Your
bareboat sailing charter company will be happy to assist you with
provision arrangements through local suppliers.

Understanding Bareboat Sailing Charter Requirements and Booking a Sailing Charter
When you rent a car, you must produce a valid drivers license. While
you do not need a license or certificate for a sailing charter most
bareboats in the Caribbean or USA, you do need to show a considerable
amount of skill and experience in order to be allowed to operate the
yacht by yourself. The bareboat sailing charter
company will require you to fill out a “sailing resume” when booking
and it must be approved prior to finalizing the arrangements.

Unless you know someone who owns a boat, it is strongly recommended that you work with a reputable bareboat sailing charter
company rather than an individual when chartering a yacht for your
vacation. Dealing with a stranger you have never met and chartering a
boat you have never seen can be somewhat risky, particularly when you
will be asked for payment in advance! One of the best ways to book a
sailing charter and find a reputable sailing charter company is finding
out by word of mouth from a friend that that done it and recommended
the company.

Once your arrangements are made for your bareboat sailing charter
vacation, let the relaxing begin. All you have to do is relax and enjoy
the beautiful islands of the Caribbean on your own terms.
