Self-Skippered – Worldwide

The simplest contract in the suite — and deliberately so. No crew, no provisioning clauses, no APA, no Stakeholder escrow. Just a vessel, a qualified skipper-charterer, and a clean legal framework that covers exactly what bareboat demands. Qualification verification with licence type, number, issuing authority, and expiry built into Page One — not buried in an annex. Joint check-in and check-out with an inventory checklist signed by both parties, so condition disputes are settled before they start. Security deposit via credit card pre-authorisation or cash, with a damage waiver insurance option for charterers who want certainty over risk. Full running expenses on the charterer — fuel, port fees, mooring, consumables — because that's what bareboat means. Night sailing restriction unless explicitly authorised. Demurrage at double the daily rate for late returns, with consequential loss indemnity protecting the owner's next booking. Breakdown refund or replacement vessel provision. Graduated cancellation scale. Thirteen clauses. No padding, no inherited superyacht language, no clauses that exist because another contract type needed them. Built for the fleet operator who charters sailing yachts, catamarans, and small motor vessels to certified sailors — and for the sailor who wants to know exactly what they're signing.
