charter boats
Rented fishing craft
Charter boats are vessels available for hire, typically for fishing, diving, sightseeing, or private cruises.
Unlike scheduled ferry or tour services, a charter boat is rented by an individual or group for exclusive use: We hired a charter boat for deep-sea fishing.
The term covers everything from small fishing craft to luxury yachts.
