Common questions
- When is the best time to charter in United Kingdom?
- Charter season on the south coast and in Scotland runs from May to September, busiest in July and August. Weather is changeable, so flexibility helps.
- Do I need a licence to charter a boat?
- A skippered or crewed charter needs no licence because a professional skipper is on board. For a bareboat charter operators usually ask for sailing experience or a recognised boating licence, and the rules differ by country and boat size. Ask the operator what they require.
- How do I book, and who do I pay?
- Contact the company directly through its own website, or send a request through YachtRelay for yachts listed here. YachtRelay does not take payments or deposits: you agree the price and pay the operator under their contract.
