How It Works

What bareboat means

A bareboat charter means the vessel is chartered by your group, and a qualified captain is selected separately for the trip. This setup is commonly used when there are more than 6 passengers aboard and is a popular option for Fort Myers Beach bareboat rentals, private boat charters, and flexible boating experiences designed around your group.

Our team will walk you through the process, explain the agreement, and help make everything easy before you head out. Whether you are planning a laid-back cruise or a celebration, we want your charter to feel seamless from booking to boarding.
