bareboat
Charter without crew
A bareboat is a boat or yacht rented without crew, provisions, or equipment—just the vessel itself.
The renter assumes full responsibility for operation and navigation.
Bareboat charters appeal to experienced sailors who want independence: We did a bareboat charter through the Greek islands.
The term functions as both noun and adjective: bareboat rental, bareboat agreement.
