Bareboat Yacht Charters

A charter is a method of shipping in which you hire a specific company or party to deliver by ship a cargo. When using a charter to deliver a bareboat yacht you are employing the service of a company who takes legal or financial responsibility to the yacht in question while additionally supplying labor and insurance. During a bareboat charter the owner of the ship gives up possession to the charterer who then supplies his own master and crew to manage it. In yacht culture these charters are extremely common and tend to operate on small periods of time. In fact there exist many yacht charter brokers and agencies that specialize in finding the perfect yacht for a client based on his/her own interests. The clients interests may be divided in many specific qualities. Everything from price, location, time of charter, size, age, and appearance may make a difference. In most cases when people reference bareboat yachts what they are actually referring to is sailboats and sometimes catamarans. Over the past two decades bareboat yacht chartering has become increasingly popular both due to more affordable rates and cultural popularity. When a group of individuals combine finances to charter a bareboat one individual is often chosen as the “skipper” for the group. A skipper is a person who commands or takes charge of a bareboat. The skipper is legally and financially held accountable for the well being of the bareboat.

Crewed Yacht Charters

A crewed yacht charter is the loaning out of a yacht that comes with a trained, professional crew already attached to it. The person chartering the yacht never loses ownership however, its care is directly placed into the hands of a dedicated yacht master or skipper. A crewed yacht charter is more expensive than a bareboat yacht charter because it rented out to you with full legal and financial responsibility on the yacht captain and not the client. By taking a crewed yacht charter you are allowing yourself a trusted source of leadership, management, maintenance, and safety while at sea. That being said the price in chartering these yachts and crews will be dramatically higher.

Learn to Sail a Yacht

Learning to sail a yacht is no easy task. However, there are a great deal of sources and options presented to anyone who would like to learn to sail a yacht. A decent place to start learning how to sail a yacht begins at the basic level the yacht or boat itself.

The tall pole that stands in the middle of the yacht is called the mast. The mast holds the main sail of the ship and in the front towards the bow is the Jib. The Jib is a second sail that is responsible for pushing the yacht forward. The back of the yacht is called the stern. The Halyard is the line that is used to raise or lower the sails. The hull is the correct term for the main body of the boat. Everything that exists under the deck is considered the hull. The wheel is the tool used to maintain control of the ship’s direction. The wheel is connected to the tiller which is a tool connected to the rudder. The rudder is main force of steering in the ship and is what physical moves the boat in a different direction.

The Benefits of Yacht Ownership

By purchasing a brand new yacht you open yourself up to world of huge possibilities. Typically what yacht owners accomplish is managing to buy a yacht for personal use and writing off its price, maintenance, supplies, labor, and ownership as a deductible business expense. In most cases the yacht in question will be chartered out during portions of the year for the use of another client. The client will take a bareboat yacht charter or crewed yacht charter out on your yacht pay you for its use or shipping. When you agree to place your yacht into charter through an agency or broker you do not lose access or ownership of the yacht itself. It simply means that someone out there who is looking for a yacht through a broker or agency may decide on renting yours. When this happens the broker acts as the middleman collecting a percentage of the chartering fee. The yacht owner collects payment for his/her business endeavor and receives the boat upon an agreed date. The yacht itself is typically left in the legal, financial, and physical care of an experienced, licensed skipper or sea captain. By pursuing the correct tax sheltering options your yacht will cost significantly less in price and will continue to collect income as it is chartered out throughout the year.

Yacht Management Options

There are many yacht management and ownership options available. The two most basic forms of yacht management are bareboat management and crewed management. In bareboat management you are responsible for the legal, physical, and financial wellbeing of the yacht. This means you must supply your own sea captain, or skipper who is capable of being in possession of the yacht for all intents and purposes. Additionally you are responsible for the insurance of the yacht. In a crewed management you are given a crew and skipper that is responsible for the well being of the boat. The crewed management option is more expensive as you have to cover wages for the sea captain and first mate. Most ownership options exist in the form of partial ownership, chartering, or financing. Many agencies will allow you to put just over 50% of the whole price of the yacht down and allow you to finance the rest of it over a period of time. Some agencies even allow group ownership where ideally you would co-own the yacht with anywhere from 2-5 individuals by splitting the whole price. These options are nearly limitless as there are hundreds of yacht brokers and agencies with multiple variations of similar ownership options.
