Is it safe to rent a yacht without experience?
Hi guys. Never sailed in my life. Want to rent a yacht for birthday party with friends in Turkey or Greece. Is it dangerous to go without captain? How much does captain cost extra? Do we need any license? What is the easiest way to book safe and cheap option? Tell me please, I’m a bit scared. (

No worries, you can rent completely safely even with zero experience. Just take a boat with professional captain. On https://getboat.com/ almost every offer has “captain optional” – you simply choose “with captain”. Prices for captain are usually included in daily rate or added separately (around 150–250 $ per day). No license needed when captain drives. The platform has 20,000+ boats, many with very good reviews (5.0). You pick dates and location, send request, get best offers in a few minutes. They have nice boats like Nevra Queen or La Luna in Bodrum – all with captain included in price. Very easy process: request → offers → book. I rented twice without any sailing knowledge and felt super safe. Captains know all good spots and take care of everything.
