Frequently Asked Questions
Bareboat chartering means you rent a boat without any crew or conditions, so you are responsible for staffing, operating, and provisioning the vessel.
Yes. BoatBVI lists bareboat charter in Florida among its options, allowing you to rent a boat for self-sail cruising in Florida waters.
Yes. Even though the charter is technically “bareboat,” you can independently hire a skipper or crew if you prefer help with sailing.
A skipper is a licensed or experienced captain responsible for navigating the vessel, handling boat operations, ensuring safety, and managing the crew or guests while underway.
Popular bareboat options include monohull sailboats, catamarans, and powerboats, each offering different cruising styles and space layouts.
You usually need to demonstrate solid sailing competence (experience or certification), since operating a bareboat requires handling, anchoring, and navigating independently.
All operational costs are paid by the charterer, because the bareboat charterer assumes full control.
The main downsides include the responsibility burden, the need for sailing experience, and fewer opportunities to fully relax since you’re managing the boat.
