A bareboat charter is the ultimate way to enjoy a sailing holiday with complete freedom and independence. With a bareboat charter, you hire one of our well-equipped yachts and skipper it yourself — no professional crew, no fixed itinerary — just you, your crew and the open water. This type of charter is ideal for experienced sailors who are confident in their skills and ready to take full responsibility for planning and operating their own sailing adventure.
With bareboat sailing, you choose your route, set your own schedule, and visit the harbours, anchorages and coastal gems that interest you most. Whether you want a relaxing weekend exploring quiet coves or a longer cruise around Cornwall’s dramatic coastline and the Isles of Scilly, this style of holiday puts you in the captain’s sea
