Our yacht adventure was truly unforgettable, right from the beginning. The vessel itself was in pristine condition, with everything operating smoothly and flawlessly. The shore team was incredibly supportive and their assistance was top-notch. They ensured that the handover and reception process was handled swiftly and with ease, providing a seamless start to our journey. Every detail was checked to perfection. I extend my gratitude to the entire team for making this a wonderful experience.

I absolutely adored the catamaran we rented, as it was fully equipped with everything we needed and went beyond our expectations. Our skipper was exceptional, guiding us to numerous breathtaking spots that we might have missed otherwise. I highly recommend using viravira.co for such an incredible experience, and we are definitely planning to return for another adventure!

Our time on the sailboat was absolutely delightful! The vessel was in excellent condition, perfectly equipped with everything we needed for a memorable trip. The sails were exceptionally well-maintained, and every component on board worked seamlessly. It's worth mentioning that there isn't a DC converter available on the boat, so do remember to pack an old USB cable if you're planning to charge your phone or laptop. Jorge was incredibly friendly and the handover was both smooth and comprehensive. We were pleasantly surprised to have all the paperwork completed and the takeover process wrapped up promptly before 4 PM. This allowed us to embark on our adventure from the marina on Saturday without any delays. In summary, it was a truly fantastic experience!

Our sailing journey covering over 300 nautical miles was largely a success, with the yacht delivering impressive performance and minimal issues. The cabins onboard were sufficiently comfortable to accommodate all ten of us, which contributed significantly to the overall enjoyment of our trip. We were particularly impressed with the yacht's speed, frequently reaching over 10 knots, far exceeding the expected 8.2 knots. However, the handover process was a bit disappointing. Despite paying extra for an early departure, we couldn't set sail before 5 PM due to preparations being incomplete. I would recommend saving on the early check-in fee in similar circumstances. Additionally, we faced some challenges with the yacht's lighting system, which wasn't operational, necessitating the use of our cell phones while navigating after dark. The water pump was another issue, requiring repairs twice, seemingly due to previous skippers overlooking the problem. Despite these setbacks, the overall experience was outstanding, with the yacht’s qualities shining through.

We embarked on a thrilling sailing adventure covering over 300 nautical miles and were quite impressed with how well the yacht performed throughout the journey. It handled the open waters with remarkable ease, and we were pleasantly surprised by its speed, often exceeding 10 knots, which was a delightful surprise. The cabins were designed to comfortably accommodate our full crew of 10 people, providing a cozy retreat after a day of sailing. However, there were a few hiccups along the way. We paid for an early departure, anticipating a smooth start, but unfortunately, the handover was delayed until after 5 PM because preparations were not complete, so the early check-in fee didn’t seem worth it. Navigating at night became tricky due to non-functional lights on the boat, and we had to resort to using our cell phones for illumination. Additionally, the water pump was a bit of a nuisance, requiring repairs twice, a result of issues not being reported by previous skippers. Despite these minor challenges, the overall experience was quite satisfying, and I would say it was a great adventure offering good value for money.

Chartering a Bareboat

Chartering a bareboat presents an opportunity to experience the beauty of the seas, lakes, and rivers at your own pace. Unplanned stops, swimming bays only a few people know, a fishing village with its unique cuisine - they all can be a part of your personal journey when you opt for a bareboat charter or a bareboat rental. Opting for a bareboat, be it hourly, daily, or weekly, grants you complete control over your itinerary. This luxury and the freedom to roam at your heart's content, with overnight accommodation on your private vessel, is just a few clicks away with viravira.co.

What are the popular destinations and routes for bareboat charter?

From the azure waters of the Mediterranean to the secluded archipelagos in Southeast Asia, bareboat charters offer endless route possibilities. If you plan to rent a bareboat 'near me', why not explore your local waterways first? However, if international sailing destinations call your name, consider the following beloved routes.


The glorious islands of Greece top the list, with Crete, Mykonos, and Rhodes offering magnificent views and breezy conditions. Procuring a bareboat for rental here is a no-brainer.


Spain’s Balearic Islands, best visited between April to October, is another renowned bareboat route worth considering. The waters of Mallorca, Menorca, Ibiza, and Formentera paint a perfect picture of tranquility.


The 'wind of the gods' blowing over the French Riviera, especially around the months of July and August, invites sailors from across the globe. The Amalfi Coast in Italy, with Positano and Capri on its map, presents an ideal route for bareboats for charter.


On the other side of the Atlantic, the Caribbean islands, particularly the Virgin Islands, St. Lucia, and Grenada, provide an unmatched sailing experience. In the Pacific, a bareboat charter to the stunning Whitsunday Islands of Australia won't disappoint. While these are only a few, virtually every corner of the globe has enticing waters to offer for your bareboat adventures.

What is the best time to charter a bareboat?

Chartering a bareboat is a year-round possibility with the Earth's diverse climate zones. A broad way to look at the best time for a bareboat charter is to aim for the local shoulder seasons. These periods, which fall between peak seasons and off seasons, offer a balance between good weather, fewer crowds, and reasonable rates.


For instance, the Mediterranean sees its best sailing climate from May to October, with the shoulder months of May, June, September, and October offering slightly calmer seas and lesser crowds. The Caribbean is alluring throughout the year, but be wary of hurricane season, which runs from June through November.


Ultimately, local weather tendencies, budget, and personal preferences play a significant role in determining the right time to charter a bareboat.

What license do I need to charter a bareboat?

While planning to charter a bareboat, it's crucial to be mindful of licensing and experience requirements, which can vary by destination. Most frequently, a sailing resume displaying your capabilities holds more significance than formal paperwork. However, destinations like Croatia and Greece mandate an International Certificate of Competence (ICC) or an equivalent national certificate.


A VHF license, permitting the use of a ship's radio station, is another common requirement. And, in case of navigating inland waters of Europe, an ICC for inland waters or a CEVNI test certificate proves necessary. We, at viravira.co, provide detailed information about what paperwork will be needed for your specific journey.

What to pack for a bareboat charter?

Packing for a bareboat charter is an art. Space is a luxury, thus taking along only the essentials is key. Begin with suitable clothing - bring lightweight apparel for the day and warmer layers for evenings. A waterproof and windproof jacket is an absolute must.
A comprehensive first-aid kit, prescriptions and other medications, sunscreen, sunglasses, and a hat are important. Don't forget your swimwear and towels. Reef-friendly sun block and insect repellent can help protect you and the environment. For entertainment, pack as per your interest - fishing gear, a good read, board games, or water sports equipment. Last but not least, include passport, appropriate licenses, payment cards, and local currency. Remember, with a bareboat charter, you have the freedom to curate your journey as you wish.
