The first-charter ladder

1
Skippered
A professional skipper remains in command while you learn the area and routines.
2
Flotilla
You skipper your yacht with organised route and destination support.
3
Assisted bareboat
Use added handover, local instruction or first-day support before taking full responsibility.
4
Independent bareboat
Your crew takes operational responsibility and should be ready for planning, berthing and problems without routine help.

Compare bareboat, flotilla and skippered support before choosing a destination.
