Bareboat vs. Skippered Charters: Choosing the Right Option

Rent Boat Cyprus offers two main types of boat rentals:

  • With a Captain: A professional captain operates the boat, ideal for those who lack experience or prefer a more relaxed experience.
  • Without a Captain (Bareboat): You are responsible for operating the boat, requiring a valid boat license and sufficient experience.

Choosing the Right Option:

  • Experience: If you have the necessary license and experience, bareboat chartering offers more freedom and flexibility.
  • Relaxation: If you prefer to relax and leave the navigation to a professional, choose a skippered charter.
  • Local Knowledge: A captain can provide valuable insights into the local area and sailing conditions.

Important Considerations:

  • Confirm Captain’s Fee: If you choose a skippered charter, confirm the captain’s fee with the owner before booking.
  • Complete Your Sailing CV: For bareboat charters, provide a detailed sailing CV to reassure the owner of your experience.
