What experience do I need?
For Bareboat Yacht charter the skipper should have previous skippering experience aboard yachts of a similar size to that being chartered with an RYA Day or Coastal Skipper qualification or an international equivalent such as the ICC qualification. In addition, at least one other crew member should be a competent sailor, who ideally has sailed with you before.
In all cases original certificates should be taken with you. Should you have any concerns regarding the suitability of a particular yacht or cruising area, please contact us to discuss your options.
For Motor yacht charter you will need at least 2 years experience of handling a motor yacht and a minimum qualification of RYA ICC for Bareboat Charter. At least one member of your crew should also have experience of basic deck work on board a yacht.
No experience is required if you take the skippered charter option. Please remember that sleeping accommodation will be required for the skipper.
