What qualifications do I need to charter a bareboat sailing

Bareboat yacht charter in Greece legally requires two crew members capable of commanding the vessel. The skipper and co-skipper should have an appropriate, recognized sailing certificate, or demonstrate sailing club membership. An official declaration stating the skippers competence may be also required if the harbor authority considers this necessary.Aegean Yachting reserves the right to insist that charterers hire a skipper, despite their certification, if their sailing skills are not judged sufficient by our staff. In a case like this the charterer is obliged to hire a skipper on his own expenses.

Which days of the week can I begin and end my charter?

Sailing yacht charters begin and end on Saturdays for multiples of seven days. In the low season and depending on yacht availability, this may be flexible. In any case the company will try to accommodate your wishes for different days of the week and uneven periods of time, such as a ten or twelve-day charter.

When do charters begin and end?

All charters begin at 17:00 on the day of departure (normally Saturdays) and end at 09:00 on the day of arrival (normally Saturdays)
