You may arrive at your destination late in the afternoon or evening, when it is no longer
possible to get underway for your charter holiday. Most bareboat companies offer
what is called a "sleep aboard" the night before your bare boat sailing vacation
begins. This means you may hire your yacht (at a reduced rate) to sleep aboard
while still docked on company premises.
A sleep aboard does not mean you may leave any earlier than the time stated in
your charter contract, which is usually noon. Several companies reserve the
right to board your boat (with you aboard) prior to noon in order to complete
last minute preparations and maintenance. Arrange your sleep aboard (SAB) when you make your reservation.
