A bareboat charter is an arrangement for the hiring of a boat, typically such a vessel as would be capable of an overnight or multi-day voyage. In this arrangement, the vessel typically comes with no crew, provisions, or special equipment; the people who rent the boat from the owner are responsible for taking care of such things. It does provide an advantage for the owner in that he does not have to keep skippers and crewmen on salary, and those attracted to such arrangements tend to be experienced yachtsmen or sailors.
