Elements of a valid Bareboat Charter

• The charterer must have the option of selecting and paying crew, although the owner may require general levels of proficiency for the crew that is retained based on federal statutes
• The master/crew are paid by the charterer
• All food, fuel, and stores are provided by the charterer
• Insurance is obtained by the charterer
• The charterer is responsible for the safe navigation of the vessel
• The charterer may discharge, for cause, the master or any crew member without referral to the owner
• The vessel is surveyed upon its delivery and return
• Any provision that tends to show retention of possession or control of the vessel by the owner, or the owners exclusive operator, would be a contradiction that a valid and legal bareboat charter exists

Common Bareboat Charter Vessel Errors

• A chartered vessel may NOT carry more than 12 passengers without a Certificate of Inspection (COI)
• A chartered vessel may NOT carry more than 12 passengers while moored. A charter vessel is considered to be carrying “passengers” whether moored or underway. This includes a boat bed and breakfast
• The owner of the vessel may NOT be the vessel master or part of the crew. The vessel owner is NOT allowed on board during a bareboat charter
• A bareboat charter contract may not require a specific crew. The charterer must be able to select a crew and have the ability to discharge the crew.
• The charterer is not considered a passenger, and there can only be one charterer, even though the vessel may be chartered by several individuals. In this case, one person would be considered the charterer and the rest would be counted as passengers
