1. Sailing Experience: To rent a bareboat yacht, you must have prior sailing experience and a valid sailing license or certification. Each charter company has different requirements for experience and certification, but generally, you must have completed a minimum number of hours or miles on a sailboat and have a valid sailing license or certification from a recognized organization.

2. Crew: You must have a crew that meets the minimum requirements set by the charter company. Typically, this includes at least one member of the crew who is experienced in sailing and navigation. The size of the crew will depend on the size of the yacht and the requirements of the charter company.

3. Age: You must be of legal age to rent a bareboat yacht. The minimum age requirement varies by charter company, but it’s usually between 18 and 21 years old.

4. Insurance: You must have adequate insurance coverage for the yacht. Some charter companies offer insurance as part of the rental agreement, while others require you to purchase insurance separately.

5. Itinerary: You must have a planned itinerary and be familiar with the waters in which you’ll be sailing. The charter company will typically provide you with maps and charts of the area, as well as information about local weather and navigation conditions.

6. Security Deposit: You must provide a security deposit to cover any damages that may occur to the yacht during your rental period. The amount of the security deposit varies by charter company and is usually refunded at the end of the rental period if no damages occur.
