Frequently Asked Questions
Q. What is a Bare Boat Charter?
A. This is where you & your family / friends take the boat & sail it yourself within the bay areas allowed for charter sailing. You need to have sailing experience & of course you are given instruction prior to departure. Our skipper gets you out of the marina & meets you on your return to park you safely back in the marina. You check in by mobile phone each day & if any questions arise.

Q. What do I do if I have no experience?
A. You can still charter but you will need our Skipper on board for at least the first day to learn some sailing skills & how to operate Millennium Cat. It's not that hard & many people start off as novices & soon become regular charterers & dab hands at sailing. Extra charges apply for our Skipper. He will anchor you up safely at days end & be picked up, leaving you to enjoy the night at anchor. Alternatively, you can return to the marina & then go out again the next day

Q. Can we share the Bareboat Charter with family or friends
A. Sharing is a wonderful way to have fun together & reduce the expenses for everyone. The boat is licenced for 12 persons overnight, or up to 20 people (+ 2 crew) for Skippered Day trips. We do many day excursions where you just sit back & enjoy yourselves. Prices are quoted on individual requirements.

Q. I have sailing experience, where can I go?
A. With a reasonable level of experience & enough time available with your choice of charter, you can go between Tangalooma at Moreton Island and as far South as Surfers Paradise. You don't have to go far to have a great time or a good sail.
