8-Step Boat Rental Guide for Beginners

1. First choose your sailing destination and your preferred dates. You and your friends and/or family should first decide where you want to have a sailing holiday. You can use our destinations section for this.
2. Decide whether you will charter a boat with or without a skipper. Chartering a boat without a skipper, a bareboat, requires you or one of your crew members to have a skipper’s license and sufficient experience. You can always charter a boat and add a skipper during the booking process.
3. Determine how many cabins you need. If you are going to rent a boat with a skipper, make sure to have an extra cabin for him.
4. Identify suitable boat alternatives. If there is someone in the crew who is prone to seasick or if you want more space, you may want to consider renting a catamaran.
5. Decide what extras you may need during your yacht charter holiday and explore the options the operators provide.
6. Consider the needs of your children as well. You can plan a pleasant holiday for your children, and therefore for yourself, by reading our article “Sailing with a Young Crew”.
7. Complete your reservation in a few minutes by following the steps on the GotoSailing.com web site.
