Yacht Rental Dubai

Bareboat Charter

A bareboat charter is when a yacht is rented without crew. The client is responsible for operating the yacht or hiring a qualified captain.

What is a Bareboat Charter?

A bareboat charter means you rent the yacht only, without captain or crew included. The person chartering must have the required license and experience, or arrange their own crew.

Bareboat charters are common for smaller boats and sailing yachts. Luxury yachts are usually crewed.

Key points:

  • No crew included
  • Client responsible for operation
  • License or experience required

Example:
A licensed skipper rents a sailing yacht and sails it himself.
