What is the difference between a crewed and a bareboat charter?
On a crewed charter the yacht comes with a professional crew who run it, cook for you and plan the route. On a bareboat you are the skipper and take the vessel out yourself.
Crewed is a holiday; bareboat is a sailing trip you operate. Crewed charters include a captain and usually a chef, with larger yachts adding mate and stewardess. You are not expected to handle lines, navigate or cook. Bareboat requires certification and experience, and places the entire responsibility for the vessel on you. Sneed Yacht Charters concentrates on fully crewed yachts. It is what we know, and it is what the Bahamas suits.
