Private sailing charters are an exciting way to see the best of the tropics, enjoy some holiday solitude, and skipper a sailboat. However, there are certain skills and certifications you need in order to charter a bareboat. If you choose a crewed yacht, however, the options are wide open!

If you choose a bareboat charter, but don't have the necessary qualifications, there are sailing schools certified by the American Sailing Association that can help you gain the certification. Bareboat charters are ideal for sailing lovers who don't own their own boats, but who want the freedom and solitude offered by having one's own craft to commandeer. You can charter sailboats and sailing catamarans this way, in a number of sizes.
