There aren't many boats around for bareboat charter. Bareboat is a hassle because the people using the boat don't have as much care for it, so things happen more often. Chipped prop's, punctured tubes, scratches to gel coat, damaged seats etc... everytime its damaged, it has to be repaired straight away so it can be ready for the next customer.
However, saying all that - some people still do it...
I wanted some additional inspiration, after spending days, weeks sanding and preparing my new rib, I went to Solent Hire based out of chichester harbour, the gent there cut me a deal for a days charter, i was quite impressed with both the boats and setup!!
