Definition

Bareboat charter is a bit like leasing a car. The bareboat charterer is sometimes called a “deponents owner” charter. By definition a bareboat charter is an arrangement for the hiring of a boat, whereby no crew or provisions are included as part of the agreement; instead, the people who rent the boat from the owner are responsible for taking care of such things. In a bareboat or demise charter, the owner gives possession of the ship to the charterer and the charterer hires its own master and crew.
