Barefoot White Collar is offered as a bareboat charter and does not include a captain or crew. For the safety of our guests and in accordance with applicable U.S. Coast Guard Merchant Mariner Credential requirements, insurance requirements, and vessel policies, Barefoot White Collar must be operated by a qualified and approved captain during your charter.
After booking, you will receive an email allowing you to independently select from our list of qualified, independent captains. Each listed captain holds an appropriate U.S. Coast Guard-issued Merchant Mariner Credential and has been reviewed for experience, safety qualifications, and familiarity with the vessel and local waterways.
You may also choose and hire your own captain. However, any outside captain must be submitted in advance and complete our qualification and vessel-clearance process. The captain must provide a valid U.S. Coast Guard Merchant Mariner Credential with an endorsement appropriate for the vessel’s tonnage, operating route, and intended service, along with identification, proof of relevant operating experience, and any documentation required by our insurance provider.
Submitting an outside captain does not guarantee approval. No captain may operate the vessel until all credentials have been verified and the captain has been fully cleared. Please submit outside-captain information well before your scheduled departure to allow sufficient time for review.
The anticipated captain’s fee is reflected in the total displayed at checkout for pricing transparency. However, the captain is independently selected and hired by the charterer and is not an employee or agent of Barefoot White Collar. Captain selection, availability, and final approval must be confirmed before departure.
