Bareboat Charters: Chartering a yacht from Let’s Go Cruising is an excellent opportunity to sail a new boat on the Chesapeake Bay. If the Chesapeake Bay is a body of water that is far away from your home waters, one that you find intriguing, or in your own backyard, a Let’s Go Cruising charter gives you the chance to explore the Bay on your own boat, on your own schedule. Take a look at our fleet:
What you need to know about Bareboat Chartering: The Yachts: Our Yachts are optimized to provide the best experience for our guests possible. They all come furnished and accommodated with everything you need to sail, live, and relax. Sail with ease in our methodically laid out cockpits, easy-to-work galleys, and comfortable stateroom appointments. Items such as galley refrigeration, air conditioning, roller furling genoas, fully stocked galley gear, coast guard equipment, GPS, and inverter systems come standard on all of our yachts. One of the many ways the Let’s Go Cruising Fleet exceeds the expectations of our charter guests is the additional convenience and luxury features available onboard our yachts such as electric winches, generators, flat screen TV’s, Raymarine Chart plotters and so much more. For specific features, see the equipment list on each boat’s web page. .
Qualifications:
We want to make sure that you and your crew will be safe while out on the Bay. Before you confirm your charter onboard one of our magnificent yachts, you will be asked to fill out a sailing resume, which covers your basic boat experience. Items such as how long you have been sailing, how many times you have chartered, how many times you have anchored and docked will be answered on our quick resume guide.
A Charter Check-out will be performed by our trained staff once you arrive at your hand-picked boat on the day of your charter. You will be required to complete a yacht inventory before the check-out. Items such as lifejackets, fire extinguishers, and winch handles will be inventoried at this time. Once the inventory has been completed, our staff will greet you onboard and complete a systematic checkout with you. This takes between 1 and 1.5 hours to complete. Repeat clients and clients holding our exclusive have significantly quicker checkout times. Our emphasis is on making YOU comfortable. Feel free to ask any questions you have during your checkout including questions about itineraries. Feel free to quiz our Let's Go Cruising staff about where to go, what to do, or where our secret spots lie on the map. If you were curious, we will get your yacht out of the boat slip for you.

The Bay has over 5,000 miles of navigable shoreline. Visit our cruising itineraries link here for some wonderful places to explore.
