With one of our friendly, USCG licensed Captains on board you can be as active or inactive as you like during your charter. The captain can stay aboard 24hrs or if you’re in a marina overnight we can pick the captain up in the evening and drop off in the morning to give your crew a little more privacy.  

Option 1: Overnight Captain ($325/24 hours)

A Captain is required to be onboard overnight if the boat is not tied up in a marina. If you think you may anchor out overnight, you will need a full-time overnight Captain.  

Option 2: Day Captain ($275/7 hours + round trip delivery charge, mileage, and/or hotel accommodations for Captain)

We can pick the captain up at the end of the day and drop off in the morning to allow you and your crew a little more privacy for the overnights.  Contact us for more details. 

How do Captained Charters work?

With one of our friendly, USCG licensed Captains on board you can be as active or inactive as you like during your charter. The captain can stay aboard 24hrs or if you’re in a marina overnight we can pick the captain up in the evening and drop off in the morning to give your crew a little more privacy. 

The captain will contact you before your charter to talk about the itinerary, what the group likes to do, restaurant and activity preferences and experience. When the charter starts the captain will review all the safety features and basic operation of the boats systems. And then you’re off sailing the big blue, exploring the beaches, harbor towns, secluded anchorages and the best this area has to offer by water!

What about food? The boats come with fully equipped galleys (stove, oven, fridge, pots and pans and utensils) and provisioning services may be available. You’ll also have the option to go to restaurants throughout the duration of your charter. Contact us for details. 

Pricing is the bareboat charter rate plus the day/overnight captain rate. Contact us for a quote.
