Can I rent a boat while I have no navigation experience?

If you do not have the experience to pilot a boat, select a crewed charter with a captain or even with a permanent crew.

Thus, you will not be in charge of the boat and the passengers. A captain will be by your side 24 hours a day to take you to the best destinations while you enjoy your vacation carefree. Also, in this case you pay less or even zero guarantee.

Can I rent a boat without a captain?

Of course you can. If you are given the option of renting a boat without a captain, you should send the boat owner the necessary documents requested. These will prove your ability to pilot the boat.

These documents usually consist of a captain's license and a marine resume or some certificate of competency. However, the documents that will be requested are at the discretion of the boat's owner.

In case of renting a boat without a captain, you will be responsible for the boat and the passengers in the ports and at sea, up until your return to the base to hand the boat over. You will also pay a financial guarantee for any damage, on your behalf, which will be refunded after the inspection and delivery of the boat.

If the voyage is appointed with a crew, a charter agreement (official document in 5 copies) is usually co-signed between the parties. You will also need to show your ID or passport.

If you decide to cruise without a crew, you will need to provide additional documents that will be requested by the boat owner. These documents usually consist of a captain's license and a marine resume or a certificate of competency. However, the documents that will be requested are at the discretion of the boat's owner.
