Skippering a
Bareboat Charter or Hire an Operator?
Skippering A Bareboat Charter
 To ensure
that you have an enjoyable and safe cruise, we want to be sure that
you and your crew know how to handle the vessel you have chosen.
Each charterer must complete an Experience Resume, which will help
us with our review of your skills.
Qualifications
In order to qualify to skipper a bareboat charter, the operator must
meet the following criteria:
- Recent practical experience skippering
aboard a similar size and type of vessel.
- Holder of a valid “Canadian Pleasure Craft
Operator Card”
Pre-qualification
Under all circumstances, we request you arrange for private,
pre-qualification time prior to your scheduled charter. Typically
this is done when a charterer would benefit from "hands-on" time
aboard the vessel for charter. Based on the Experience Resume, the
skipper should only need a limited time aboard the vessel to prepare
for a safe cruise. Pre-qualification usually takes 1 - 2 hours of
time. We encourage the "crew" to join the skipper so that our staff
can include reminders to those responsible to assist the skipper
when arriving and departing moorages.
 For safety
reasons, all captains must receive the captain's lesson, no
matter how experienced they are, or how many times they have gone
house boating. In addition we require a minimum of two people, over
21 years of age that hold a valid drivers license, to attend the
captain's lesson.
Hiring a Captain to Operate the
Vessel (Optional): If you are not
sufficiently qualified to operate the vessel yourself, or choose not
to do so, Funseeker Cruises will be happy to refer you upon request
to a number of fully trained and qualified vessel Captains available
for you to hire.
The cost of hiring a Captain may vary somewhat, but their fees are
generally in the range of $30.00 per hour, and may include the
services of a deckhand to assist the Captain and your guests.
