Bareboat charter details
- •The Mid-Week Special runs from noon Monday to noon Friday. There is no sleep-aboard option with this charter.
- •All other bareboat charters run from 10:00 am to 3:00 pm and include a sleep-aboard option at no extra cost. Boarding time for the sleep-aboard is after 6:00 pm. No staff will be present overnight, but guests are given access to the boat and instructions for finding it. The boat and chart briefing still happens at 10:00 am.
