Take a sailing vacation and bareboat charter boats worldwide. Gain the knowledge, training, experience, proper certification, and licensure for multiday and near coastal sailing adventures. Get started here for Bareboat Charter Master›
A master is someone who knows their stuff inside and out. Leading your friends and family on the ocean for multiple days on a sailing vacation is where you need mastery. Our Bareboat Charter Master Sailing certification requires lots of experience, lots of course work, and an extensive demonstration of your practical skills.
This is not a weekend warrior, zero to hero certification. You will truly work for this but the reward is being competently qualified to skipper a boat on a sailing vacation in some gorgeous destination.
We start you out with the full Bareboat Charter Master suite of online theory courses. Our bareboat courses train all aspects of multiday sailing: international navigation rules and buoys, sailing techniques, boat management and systems, boat handling, coastal navigation, electronic navigation and more. Your sailing school’s course is a charter ready program that immerses you in practical on-the-water education, as well as 6 online in-depth multimedia knowledge courses.
Pricing: Pricing ranges for our courses from $500 to $1000 depending on your goals and desires, if you want private or combined lessons, and your previous experience. Our philosophy is to work with all of our students to ensure competence is gained rather than perform a one size fits all, factory training. In the world of sailing training, you certainly get what you pay for.
