Charter boat means a vessel or craft other than a non motorized raft that is rented or offered for rent to carry passengers fir hire if the owner or the owner’s agent retains possession, command, and control of the vessel.

How To Charter A Boat

Chartering offers an unbeatable chance to explore a new kind of boating and to try out a particular boat on the way to owning your own. Whether you charter with a professional crew or bare boat under your own command, chartering let’s you sharpen your skills like nothing else. There are many types of charters.

Bare Boat Charters

A Bareboat charter is an arrangement for the chartering or hiring of a ship or boat, whereby no crew or provisions are included as part of the agreement; instead,  the people who rent the vessel from the owner are responsible for taking care of such things. This act is commonly known as bare boating or bareboat charter.

The most common is the bare boat sailing charter. Bareboat chartering is a working with a charter company to reserve a boat that you will provision, navigate, berth and command on your own, as you will be the captain creating the itinerary, sailing, anchoring and caring for the boat yourself. Sailing experience is needed here. Bareboat charter can be done in different lakes of Arkansas like; Beaver lake, Norfork lake, Lake Ouachita,  Greers Ferry Lake, Millwood Lake, Lake Hamilton, Lake Dardanelle, DeGray Lake, Bull Shoals Lake, Lake for Smith, Chicot Lake, Lake Maumelle, Greeson Lake, Lake Catherine via Pontoon boats.

The pros of bareboat chartering are you pick your specific location and make all the decisions including where you go and how long you stay. The challenges include having to know how to sail, dock and manage a boat and having a level of local knowledge to handle safety issues,  language barriers and cultural differences.

Fishing Charter

A fishing charter can be a great afternoon of inshore angling or a serious week of offshore action. The first thing that should be decided the type of fishing you want to do. Is it bone fishing in the flats, trolling for tuna? The second thing to consider is the type of boat and group size. Smaller private boats can take up to six passengers while party boats can take up to sixty people for a day outing. Fishing charter boats vary exhilarating in equipment,  size and amenities.

Yacht Charter

Yacht Chartering is the practice of renting, or chartering, a sailboat or motor yacht and travelling to various coastal or island destinations. This is usually a vacation activity with family and friends but you can also arrange your business events here.

Cabin Charters

Cabin Charters represent the ideal solution to enjoy sailing cruises for those who don’t yet have the skills for a bareboat charter or those who want to board a crewed luxury yacht, but can’t justify the cost of acquiring one. The cabin can be shared with a friend or even with a travel mate you met on board, but the expertise and knowledge of a local skipper is guaranteed and there is no caution to be paid for possible damages to the yacht. Cabin charters are cheaper when you don’t have a group of like minded friends who want to split the cost of a boat.
