Chartering

You hire a boat and a professional crew to take care of everything. You can relax and enjoy the journey, leaving the technicalities to the experts. Chartering is a good option if you want a hassle-free experience or lack boating expertise.

Renting

In simple terms, you are responsible for the boat's operation, safety, and compliance with local regulations. You may be provided with basic training, but you are expected to have some boating experience. Renting is usually a good option if you prefer to be in control.

Which Option Is Right for You?

Deciding between renting and chartering often comes down to your comfort level on the water and your desired experience. If you enjoy navigating and handling a vessel yourself, a rental provides that freedom. However, if you're looking for a luxury escape where every detail is managed—from anchoring to meal service—a crewed charter is the ideal choice.
