Bareboat Yacht Charter

Go your own way and tailor every aspect of your trip!

There's nothing quite like the allure of a bareboat charter. For experienced sailors, it’s the ultimate adventure: taking the helm of your own yacht, charting your own course, and setting sail into the horizon with total freedom.

A bareboat charter gives sailors a much greater degree of freedom than holidaying on a skippered boat, but it carries a greater degree of individual responsibility, as you are in charge of the yacht and crew.

A bareboat charter is more than just a sailing vacation—it’s an experience of independence, exploration, and the joy of navigating some of the most stunning waters in the world.

Testimonials

HELM bareboat

Having never sailed outside the New England region we were glad to have HELM’s guidance. The boat they helped us charter was in superb condition and the charter company very accomodating making for an excellent week on the water.

Scott H

Really great experience!

The quality of the boat made it a carefree experience for the whole two weeks. Croatia is a special sailing ground.

Claire

Great service, advice and execution

During the planning phase the team at Helm was very focused on understanding our preferences and provided good advice and options for choosing the yacht and the area, under consideration of time of year, group size and budget

We have just returned from a fantastic bareboat charter

The whole process was incredibly smooth—I am convinced they even calmed down the troublesome Meltemi wind for us, ensuring perfect sailing conditions!
