Skippered vs bareboat 2025 – What to choose for your crew

The right choice depends on experience, comfort level and the holiday you want.

Skippered

  • Pro: Relaxed holiday, local knowledge, stress‑free berthing.
  • Cons: Extra cabin needed, privacy trade‑off, added cost (~€1,300+/week).

Bareboat

  • Pro: Full freedom, lower cost, hands‑on learning.
  • Cons: Responsibility for safety, berthing, navigation.

Hybrid options

Add a hostess or deckhand; take a one‑day training at the start.
