Sailing yacht rental without skipper
Bareboat charter is the traditional unmanned charter formula. Charter companies offer a wide choice of yachts and destinations for this formula.
Charter companies will ask you for a "nautical CV" to ensure your skills. You rent the sailboat and dispose of it as you see fit. No crew, no schedule, no other constraints than a start and end date of the rental.
Bareboat rental offers a taste of adventure and independence. However, you can call on the base manager to help you organize your vacation. The teams on site can offer you a typical itinerary with good navigation tips, as well as organize refreshments, scuba diving or an excursion to a nearby island.
Rental of sailboats with crew
With this formula, you will be cared for by a crew or a skipper who will supervise your week's sailing holiday. The skipper's local knowledge will make it possible to establish a itinerary and a personalised programme. You can discover anchorages unknown to the general public or typical restaurants.
A rental with skipper/ crew is ideal for destinations that seem to you beyond your sailing skills. It is also the best way to enjoy the pleasure of being on the water without the stress of taking charge of the yacht, sailing, anchoring, clearance (customs) and all the tasks that fall to the skipper in order to guarantee a good holiday for the whole crew.
And if, at breakfast, you have fresh bread and fruit juices on the cockpit table, it's because during your sleep the skipper or sailor has taken care of it. The skipper can do as much or as little as you need.
If you choose a rental with crew or with a skipper you must add this budget to the cost of the charter.
Fleet rental
A fleet is a group of cruise ships sailing in a canned state and led by a "wing chief". A fleet allows a large number of people to spend a pleasant sailing holiday while letting go of the organization.
With this formula, you can have a skipper at the helm or be the captain of the sailboat, but you will have to comply with the concept of a wing and follow the instructions. A fleet is an interesting way to approach a first rental of a sailboat and to store experience before being autonomous
