Pre-departure Briefing

Embarking on a bareboat charter is an exhilarating experience, promising adventure and discovery on the open seas. However, before setting sail into the horizon, ensuring a comprehensive briefing is conducted is paramount. This briefing serves as a vital preparatory step, equipping all involved with the knowledge and understanding necessary for a safe, enjoyable, and successful voyage.

A briefing for a bareboat charter is a comprehensive 3-4 hour session aimed at familiarizing you and your crew with all aspects of the vessel and the journey ahead.
