BAREBOATA bareboat charter is a rental agreement where the renter acts as the captain, taking full responsibility for the vessel's operation, navigation, and providing all food, fuel, and other consumables. Bareboat chartering gives you the freedom to choose your own destinations and set the pace for your vacation.  It also gives you the opportunity to shop for yourself, or through the help of a provisioning company, and choose exactly what you prefer to have onboard for your charter. Bareboat chartering also gives you the ability to go ashore more often instead of adhering to a dining schedule onboard your yacht.  It is the most cost effective way to charter, but is not always an option for guests lacking sailing experience.​​CAPTAIN ONLYA captain only charter is a rental agreement that provides a private yacht experience with a hired professional captain to handle all aspects of navigation and sailing, while the guests are responsible for provisioning, cooking, cleaning, and other onboard duties.This is a great option if you aren't quite comfortable or experienced enough to qualify for a bareboat charter. We'll happily pair you with a certified Captain from our pool of reputable options.​Even with a hired Captain onboard, your reservation is still considered a bareboat charter. This means that, just like a regular bareboat charter, you will remain responsible for provisioning the boat, which includes providing all meals for the Captain. You can choose to handle provisioning on your own or with the help of a provisioning company.​FULLY CREWEDA fully crewed yacht charter is a premium rental arrangement where a private yacht is provided for the exclusive use of your group, along with a professional crew to operate the vessel and attend to your every need.The crew typically includes a professional Captain and Chef.
