http://www.bostonyachtcharters.com/charters/42'-post-marine-sportfish-charterboat-153.htm http://www.bostonyachtcharters.com/charters/42'-post-marine-sportfish-charterboat-153.htm [youtube=http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mFf557g9tuk&feature=related]What is Bareboating?A "Bareboat" is a charter where you take full responsibility for all aspects of the boat and journey: navigation, sailing, mooring, motoring, cooking, cleaning etc. It is similar to renting an apartment, except you can take it wherever you want (within the limits of your contract and navigable waters). Bareboats offer tremendous freedom, self-dependence, and accomplishment, and you don’t have to worry if you “get along” with your skipper (or tip him!).Bareboating requires responsibility to go along with all that freedom - one of the members must be an experienced sailor or motor boat captain. Bareboat rentals also require that everyone on board take at least some responsibility for the itinerary and safety of the group, and "pitch in" so that the charter experience is one of teamwork. The skipper should not only know how to manage the boat, but also how to organise and manage the "crew" as well, especially on a sail boat.Bareboat with Skipper - the best of both worlds?Virtually any time you charter a bareboat, you have the option of adding a qualified skipper who will take the responsibility for sailing/motoring the boat, but still give you the feeling of having your own boat. They will normally want you to help them drive the boat, navigate, and drop anchor, etc, and you can take the helm whenever you like (just put a beer in the skipper's hand, that normally works).A skippered bareboat is far less expensive than a crewed yacht, but the stress of navigating through coral, determining your course, and knowing the inside information about the area is removed. Your liability is also less, because the skipper takes responsibility for the boat. If this sounds like the type of charter you want, just let us know and we'll find a qualified skipper for your next bareboat charter.Successful Bareboat ChartersBareboats do best when it is clear that a single person is in charge, but that everyone has at least some role in the team. This can vary from hoisting sails to dropping anchor to cleaning or cooking (or rotating these chores), but a true team puts less strain on the skipper and has a better sense of shared accomplishment. Buying crew t-shirts or baseball hats prior to departure is a great way of building a sense of team with everyone.A successful bareboat charter begins long before you arrive at the dock. The entire team should have a very clear idea of what they're getting into. We highly recommend that you do the following before you book your bareboat charter:Clearly communicate to all involved what will be expected of themPlan an itinerary that is not overly aggressive unless everyone is experienced sailors (remember, many in the party probably want to return refreshed and relaxed, not stressed from overdoing). Have a group meeting and walk them through the itinerary, what they can expect to be doing each day, and how much sailing/motoring will be involved. Get agreement from everyone that they are approve of the itinerary, and that they'll not be upset if they can't sit on the beach reading a book every dayIf time permits, ask the non experienced boat people to take a boating course - they'll enjoy the trip much more if they know the difference between a Port and Starboard ! If your group is keen to Charter and has basic experience but are a bit apprehensive, it is normally possible to arrange for a skipper for a day or two while everyone gets used to the boat and each other. If you’re interested in a skipper for your boat, feel free to contact bostonharborboatrentals.com (617.240.2900) and we'll arrange for one.The benefits of chartering a YachtYou have many options for your next holiday – thousands of package tours and resort hotels on a beautiful beach where you can get a great tan, dine with your family and friends, and maybe find a club to go to in the evening. So why charter a yacht?We believe that chartering a beautiful yacht is the ultimate way to spend a holiday. How else can you stay in a different location each night without re-packing, avoid the holiday crowds while going to the most desirable locations, learn new skills that are valuable for a lifetime, and still find plenty of time to relax, read a book, or just enjoy the view? Being on a boat brings you much closer to your friends and family, because you have reached shared goals together, with everyone pitching in to help and contribute.Many people worry that they’ll be too cramped on a boat, and that the close quarters will lead to problems. Having put literally thousands of happy clients on yacht charters, we simply have not seen this occur (unless the people really didn't belong together and knew it beforehand). You spend so much time in the water, on the beach, or just enjoying the experience, that the closeness rarely seems to be a problem. If you feel cramped for any reason, just take a book to the bow deck and you’ll feel refreshed and invigorated. Or take a dinghy to shore and explore!The freedom and closeness to nature that one feels on a boat has amazing impact - bringing people into their "right brains" and providing tremendous relaxation. Senses are enlivened and relationships deepen. Which is why people who charter a boat once tend to do it time after time, and won’t settle for a hotel room when they can have the entire sea as their vacation home!Chartering with Children - Family Yacht Charter VacationsMany yacht lovers are nervous about chartering with children - not just for the obvious safety reasons, but because they're worried the kids will feel cooped up on the boat and ruin the vacation for kids and parents alike. These are valid concerns, but from all the evidence we have, this is rarely the case, in fact children enjoy being on a yacht, learn to respect the rules of the boat, and are normally better behaved because they are entranced by the experience.If you're planning a family powerboat charter, we strongly recommend a Sportfish style Yacht. They are wonderful for children - they offer a lot of inside play space, they don't rock back and forth like many boats, and the children will love being on the forward deck and jumping off the stern deck.Successful charter vacations with children, however, do require some planning and rule enforcement. In talking with others who have chartered with kids, here are some basic suggestions:Set clear safety rules. Discuss the rules of a charter before the trip and reinforce them the moment you get on the boat. Rules we've used are:Always wear life vests when not in the cockpitNever leave a boat without permission from an adultNever go to the front of the boat without an adult The skipper is the boss, his word is lawNo running or horseing around, everAlways swim in twos, like at camp Make the sailing distances short. This reduces the chances of boredom leading to mischeif. Insetad of a 4 hours sail, do two 2 hour sails, stopping on a beach to run around and play in between.Bring plenty of Beach and Boat Toys. If possible, rent a kayak, they'll love the freedom (they should always go out in twos and wear life jackets, of course). Make sure their snorkeling equipment fits and works, and that they've practiced breathing at home (even if it's in a bath tub).Expose them to the art and science of Navigating. Show them the charts, the instruments. Have them use the winch and push the button for the anchor. They will feel more "connected" and begin a lifelong love affair with boatsExpose them to nature. Buy fish and wildlife guides, so they can learn more about what they're seeing. The laminated colorful fish charts are a big hit.Don't play the movie "Jaws" on the boat. And don't mention sharks.]]> Tue, 01 Nov 11 18:39:36 -0400
