Bareboat Yacht Charters
What is a Bareboat Charter?
Bareboat charters for holiday and vacation purposes, simply mean a boat rental with no provisions or crew members included. Bareboat charters are by far the most popular charter options here in Croatia and can be compared to renting a car, once you take it over, everything becomes your responsibility.
Just as you need a licence to hire a car, most charter companies require that you have a valid licence and VHF licence, along with the necessary experience to operate the boat you are looking to charter.
As the charterer, you obtain possession and full control of the vessel along with the legal and financial responsibility for it. It means you pay for all operating expenses, including fuel, crew and port expenses. You put down a security deposit on arrival and it’s up to you to provision the boat, meaning you need to buy the food, beverages, and all other items you’ll need for your trip.
It is the perfect choice if you are a sailor with experience who has a valid skippers’ licence, adequate knowledge of bareboating and is looking to charter a boat with your own crew. And as the captain, you get to decide on everything connected with the boat.
How much does a Bareboat Charter cost?
A bareboat charter is also one of the most affordable types of boat charter with a fantastic range of options. Expect to pay in the region of €3000+ for a 7-day charter, depending on the time of year. We discuss other costs and issues involved in a bareboat charter in more detail further down in this article.
What is a Skippered Charter?
A skippered charter is essentially a bare-boat charter with the addition of a skipper. With a charter with skipper option, you choose the boat (a bareboat charter). Then you hire a skipper who will be responsible for the manoeuvring of the yacht. This is a great choice for a casual, relaxing and carefree sailing vacation.
If needed, a skipper is usually chosen for you by the charter company providing the yacht. The skipper will have all the necessary licenses and nautical skills. They will have the know how, understand local waters, weather conditions and culture more than anyone else. Alongside you they will advise on the best decisions for itinerary, routes, anchorages, etc. They will be on call at all times to take the burden of caring and assuring that both your yacht and guests are safe and happy.
