This quick experience check is designed to help you understand what level of support may suit your bareboat charter — whether that’s feeling ready to go, adding extra tuition, or considering a Sail Guide.
It’s an informal guide only, but it’s a helpful starting point for understanding your boating background and beginning the right conversation with our team.

Bareboat suitability is not just about licences or qualifications. It’s about practical boating knowledge, confidence and the kind of support that may help you enjoy your holiday safely.
Use the calculator to get a rough sense of how your experience lines up with a bareboat charter.
If you’re a little rusty or light on experience, extra tuition or a Sail Guide may be worth considering.
Your result is a guide only. Our team will still help match you with a suitable vessel and support options.
On the morning of departure, the two most experienced people in your group will complete a detailed vessel briefing covering practical boat handling and safety.
This briefing may take up to 4 hours and is an important part of preparing you to operate the boat safely.
If you have some experience but feel a little out of practice, there are ways to ease into your charter with more confidence.
Take this informal check below and see how you score. Choose the option that best matches your experience in each section.
