BELIZE SAILING CHARTERS has recently added vessels to be let out on bareboat basis to experienced sailors. At Belize Sailing Charters we are deeply committed to the protection and preservation of Belize’s fragile reef eco-system, therefore our requirements for bareboat charter operation are strict. Bareboat chartering in Belize is currently under careful scrutiny by several government agencies as well as eco-touring organizations and environmentalist groups. If you elect to bareboat charter in Belize please remember to respect her precious natural resourses.

You may have sailed in twenty countries around the world and be an experienced sailor and navigator. Belize has over 3,000 square miles of cruising waters, hundreds of islands and countless coral reefs. There are few man made aids to navigation and the cruising guides available contain many dangerous errors and omissions. This poses unique challenges to even the most experienced navigator. For this reason Belize Sailing Charters has added a “Marine Guide” option to our bareboat offering, kind of a “man Friday” if you will. An experienced local guide can make valuable contributions to your Belize sailing charter. She or he can help you find that secluded anchorage, show you the fishing and diving hot spots, help you view and identify marine life and introduce you to local customs and people. Our guides are also trained mates and can assist in boat handling, cleaning, cleaning fish and cooking, especially local coastal cuisine.

Nothing can dampen the spirit of a great sailing adventure more than an accidental grounding not to mention the devastating effects on the reef. We invite you to sail in Belize, discover her spectacular reefs and cayes and enjoy and respect this fragile environment. If you decide to bareboat with us, especially if this is your first visit, consider the advantages of having an extra hand on board--cost, from only $75 per day.
