Important Bareboat Charter Info
-
You, the charterer, have the option of selecting a USCG Captain (and crew, if desired) of your choosing. However, if you’d prefer, a USCG Captain can be furnished by the owner. In the case that the Captain is furnished by the owner, full possession and control is still vested in you, although that does not preclude you from taking advice from the Captain regarding hazardous conditions such as inclement weather, navigational obstructions, etc. PLEASE LET ME KNOW IF YOU WILL FURNISH YOUR OWN CAPTAIN, OR IF YOU NEED A LIST OF POTENTIAL CAPTAINS, OR IF YOU WOULD PREFER ME TO ASSIGN ONE
-
The Captain/crew are paid for by the charterer (which is already included in the payment that you made upon booking. Please note that although it is not mandatory in, if you enjoy your trip, your Captain will greatly appreciate being tipped!)
-
All fuel is to be paid by the charterer (which is already included in the payment that you made upon booking)
-
All port charges and pilotage fees, if any, are paid by the charterer (which is already included in the payment that you made upon booking)
-
The charterer may discharge, for cause, the Captain or any crew member without referral to the owner
-
Your guests are your responsibility, and you may not have more than 12 aboard per charter, whether moored or underway
Other important notes
-
Please be on time. We often have charters scheduled back-to-back, so we are unfortunately unable to extend the trip beyond the scheduled end time, even if you or someone in your party arrives late
