What is Bararboat Charter

Bareboat charter is a bit like leasing a car. The bareboat charterer is sometimes called a “deponents owner” charter.

Four Steps to Choosing the Right Bareboat Charter

by Alan Mills

1/ Sail boat or Cruiser Try this quick quiz to help you discover if you are more receptive to sailing or motor cruising

Do I look forward to the journey or the destination?

Backpacking is OK or I need a bit of privacy?

Great a bush camp or where’s the motel

If your all about the first alternative you would be OK on a sail boat. If the second alternative is more you, go got the motor cruiser. If your a bit of both it may swing on how long you intend to be on the charter but I would lean toward the motor cruiser.
