Bareboat charter

A bareboat charter is a rental agreement where a person or company hires a boat without any crew or provisions included. Essentially, the charterer takes full responsibility for operating the vessel, managing its care, and ensuring safety. This type of charter allows for greater flexibility and freedom for those with the necessary sailing skills. The charterer pays for the boat's use, often for a set period, while the owner provides the vessel in good condition. It’s a popular option for experienced sailors wanting to explore waterways at their own pace.
