Some basic housekeeping supplies and food staples are stocked on every bareboat, we have detailed a reasonably common list but each charter charter boat operator can have variations - you will need to refer to the individual charter operator specification: See details for each bareboat listed in our bareboat charters directory

Staples supplied on a bareboat

Note: some charter boat operators will supply these staples
as part of a "starter pack" that is purchased by the charterer.

2. Chart AUS 825: Whitsunday Islands to Bowen
   
3. '100 Magic Miles of the Great Barrier Reef' - your bible!

Bareboat Documentation:

• Your Boats 'Operations Manual'
  
• Your Boats 'Technical Details Manual'
  
• Safety Instructions

Navigation equipment

• Parallel Rules
  
• Dividers

However, almost all bareboat navigation is 'line of sight' and you will usually see the next island you are heading for with no difficulties.
