A bareboat charter is a type of vessel rental where the charterer takes full control and responsibility for the vessel without a crew or provisions. The charterer manages all aspects of the boat, including navigation, crew hiring, maintenance, and compliance with maritime laws.
The charterer operates the vessel as if they own it, handling all operational tasks, including navigation, crew management, and maintenance.
All costs, such as fuel, docking fees, insurance, and repairs, are the charterer’s, making it a significant financial commitment.
The charterer can use the vessel for various purposes, customizing its use to meet specific needs, whether for leisure, transport, or other activities.
The vessel is under the charterer’s control, which requires adherence to all relevant maritime regulations and laws.
Bareboat charters are available for different types of vessels, including yachts, cargo ships, and specialized vessels, providing options to suit various requirements.
