Bareboat requirements

A full on bareboat charter means you will be responsible for all aspects of the boat, and you have the freedom to go wherever you like within our approved routes and destinations. This requires a half day induction of the boat, and some pre approvals where we will require our insurance company to look at your sailing resume and agree that you have adequate experience in charge of a similar sized vessel. There is the option to choose to use the vessel as a motor only charter which is far less complicated, and of course not everyone knows how to or wants to sail.

A floating accommodation charter is just that. You will meet the boat at the agreed destination where it will be anchored or moored for you. There will be a short 1-2 hour boat familiarization where we will go through all the things you need to know, including the dinghy. The dinghy has a 6 hp outboard which means you don’t even need a skippers ticket to drive it(although its highly recommended). You are then free to come and go and use the boat as you wish. Once your charter is complete the boat will be moved back by our staff and you have nothing to worry about.

This is a great option for a holiday with something different, and gives you a sense of adventure whilst dipping your toes in the water to see what boat life is all about without the responsibility.
