Yachts can be hired on a bareboat charter basis (without Hurst Point skipper) provided the bareboat qualifications and experience below are held by the skipper and first mate. If you are lacking in any of these aspects, we can arrange the training necessary for bareboat charter with our approved
sailing schools. These are small schools with local knowledge handpicked to provide first class instruction. We can also provide you with some
informal refresher training for a half day or evening in advance of your charter with friends or family. This will allow you to familiarise
yourself with the yacht. We concentrate on the aspects that are most likely to get you into trouble such as berthing and reefing the mainsail.
Alternatively you may wish one of our skippers to accompany you for part of the first day of your charter to point out and demonstrate the sailing
controls. |

OUR PROMISES TO YOU Safety. We promise to ensure that we offer only charter yachts which we have the greatest confidence in. Regarding our flagship Dotty Dot, we go family sailing in her ourselves including cross channel so we are as keen as you to ensure that everything is in order. We promise to keep all the life jackets serviced, the life raft contents renewed every year, the engine well maintained and all the other things that need to be done. Value for Money. Charter yachts are incredibly expensive to run and maintain. However we
promise to charge fees that give only a moderate return and to ensure that ours are amongst the lowest prices if
not THE lowest. Hand over We promise to hand the yacht over to you in a first class condition. This means that the deck holding tank will be empty (you would soon know about it on a port tack if not - phew!), that water and diesel tanks will be full and the yacht clean inside and out. General It is not our style to attempt to make you responsible for defects that have arisen during a charter that we should take on board ourselves and never have we done so. In fact we are extremely loathe to ask you to put your hands in your pocket for things such as fenders and boat hooks that have gone overboard because we do not want to finish on a sour note and want you to come back as many do!
