Bareboat Charters

For insurance purposes we do not actually bare boat charter. However, our prices are so competative that you will have a hard time geting a decent bareboat for less. Meniscus is more homely than any bareboat so why not let us take care of you and remove all the hassle? Your Yacht Charter includes Crew and the boat is fully provisioned for you. You can still plan, navigate and crew to your hearts content but let us look after you, show you the best sights and anchorages as well as give you some extra tuition as you go. With us onboard you can have a real holiday, save the stress and probably even save money.
