The following article shows the spectacular way in which the bare boat sailing industry has developed in the past few years and the description of the process of hiring a bareboat. There are two important types of charters: the bare boat sailing charters and the crewed charters. A bareboat yacht charter involves the hiring of a boat for a certain period of time to a person, who is also responsible for skippering it. The bare boat sailing charter industry has become familiar to a larger number of people since the middle of the 1990's and especially since 2000, during this time the sailing and yachting have become very popular among those looking for sailing holidays. When we talk about bareboat yacht charter or bare boat sailing charters we actually refer to arranging the hiring of a boat, without including the crew and provisions in the agreement, these are meant to be brought by the temporary owner of the boat who also uses it for that period of time. The most important difference between the bare boat sailing charters and other similar types of boat arrangement is the legal one. The voyage charters, the ones in luxury yachts, are based on the hiring of the crew as well, while a bareboat yacht charter implies only the temporary change of owner, who is obliged to bring its own captain and crew. The increasing development of this industry has brought with it a large number of bareboat brokers and agent companies. These offer to organise a bareboat yacht charter anywhere in the world at very low cost by giving to a certain client the boat which bests fits his needs, these are of course linked to location and comfort. The cost of a bareboat yacht charter is determined by the size of the yacht, its age, its experience, often called pedigree, the number of crew, if it has one, and of course the destination. A worldwide range of bareboat charter prices' have been estimated between $1000 and $25000 per person during a week. Due to these very good prices and large diversity of destinations all the experienced and semi-experienced yachties prefer sailing holidays to the inland ones. Every year this branch of tourism is being enlarged by new sailors. What is more, for all the beginners, the agent companies offer courses for seamanship and teach people all the basic rules required to bareboat charter. They also help the novices by giving them skippers with the boats, but no crew, just like bare boat sailing charters arrangements should be. All in all, we can say that this increasingly important bareboat yacht charter industry helps us firstly organise a pleasant holiday anywhere in the world, and it is also a strong promoter of every national branch of tourism, bringing each year a huge amount of money to the local and national economy.
