Charter Bareboat – Skipper Yourself, Sail or Power:

An understanding of basic seamanship, boat handling and navigation is all that is required for a yacht charter in many of our locations.No formal certification is required for most regions. By completing our Sailing or Boating Resume and submitting it online, we will immediately inform you what size yacht you qualify to sail with us and which destinations are appropriate for your experience. Formal Qualifications are required for our destinations in the Mediterranean and in Belize. 

We will ensure you are completely comfortable before you leave the dock. Prior to departure, you will receive a detailed Charter Briefing on your cruising area and a full Yacht Orientation aboard your yacht on its operation and equipment. If you wish, we will even provide you with a complimentary Moorings “Friendly Skipper” who will join you for up to a half-day on the first day of your trip at no additional cost.
