Bareboat Charter Requirements

Safety is our priority, so we'll need to ensure you have the skills and experience to manage your yacht confidently.

For most yachts, we require:

• A skipper with experience equivalent to RYA Coastal Skipper

• At least one crew member with experience equivalent to RYA Competent Crew

If you don't hold formal RYA qualifications, you can submit a sailing CV for our Fleet Manager to review your experience.

For smaller yachts (up to 36ft), we may accept:

• Two crew members with RYA Day Skipper (Tidal) certification

• An experienced Day Skipper plus a Competent Crew

Not sure if you qualify? We can arrange a professional skipper for your first day. If they're satisfied with your skills and experience, you can continue your charter independently.

Need to qualify? Our RYA Sailing School offers courses from beginner sailing through to Coastal Skipper level and beyond.
