Bareboat Charter FAQ

Practical questions about booking, sailing qualifications, onboard life and charter terms.

Before Booking

Our charter specialists will help you select the ideal yacht based on your destination, group size, sailing experience, and budget. Whether you're looking for a sailing yacht, catamaran, or a premium luxury experience, we can recommend the best option.

Sailing yachts offer a more traditional sailing experience and are generally more affordable. Catamarans provide greater stability, larger living spaces, and increased comfort, making them ideal for families and larger groups.

Popular beginner-friendly destinations include the Saronic Gulf and Ionian Islands in Greece, where sailing conditions are generally calm, distances are short, and marinas are well-equipped.

We recommend booking 6–12 months in advance, especially for peak summer periods, to ensure the widest selection of yachts and destinations.

Depending on the destination and season, shorter charters may be available. Contact our team for current availability and options.

Additional costs may include fuel, marina fees, provisioning, optional extras, crew services, and the yacht's refundable security deposit or damage waiver.
