Introduction
Bareboat chartering is an amazing way to explore the world. It gives you freedom, flexibility and independence, which are great for the solo traveler. But it can also be a little intimidating. There are so many things to consider when choosing a bareboat chartering company – where do you start? Here are my top 3 tips to help you:
Consider the length of your boat trip.
When choosing a bareboat chartering company, it’s important to consider the length of your boat trip. This will help you gauge how much time you have and how far in advance you should book your perfect boat. If you’re sailing to the Caribbean and want to stay on the water for two weeks, then chances are good that there won’t be any new boats available at that time of year. The same goes if you want to spend only one night on a boat or are considering an extended weekend getaway (especially during peak season).
The second thing to consider is how long it takes for each part of planning and booking the trip before heading out on water—this includes reserving space with a chartering company; choosing which sites/islands are most important for visiting; packing accordingly; getting all necessary insurance coverage; getting prepared with proper clothing, gear & safety equipment like life jackets & flares; having everything ready when arriving at port or “mooring” as well as knowing where exactly all those things go once inside cabin once we’re underway so nothing gets lost overboard accidentally during docking maneuvers while docking at different ports during departure day before heading out again away from home port.”
Do they have the right bareboat chartering vessel for you?
Choosing a company that has the right boat for you, your experience level and group size is key. Don’t just choose the company based on price alone. You want to make sure that their vessel will meet all of your needs so that you can enjoy your experience fully.
- For example: if you are brand new to sailing and would like help with learning how to sail or chart a course, then it may be better to choose a smaller vessel with less people on board than one which requires more advanced sailing skills.

What kind of experience do you want?
In the first section, we talked about what to look for in a bareboat chartering company. Now, let’s talk about how to choose a company that fits your needs and wants.
The first thing you should ask yourself when choosing a bareboat chartering company is: What kind of experience do I want? Do I want to be able to drive the boat myself, or would I rather have someone else do all that? How many people will be on my trip with me? Should it be just me and my significant other? Would my parents love this idea as well? Are there other family members or friends who would enjoy joining us for an unforgettable adventure through the Caribbean?
Choosing a bareboat chartering company can be difficult, but it is important.
