You can obtain a bareboat captain license from accredited maritime schools or through certification programs offered by sailing organizations. Requirements may vary depending on the country or region where you plan to operate as a bareboat captain. It usually involves completing a course on boating safety, navigation, and obtaining hands-on experience.
Bareboat sailing is when you charter the boat without a skipper or crew to run it for you. Everything is done by yourselves. From handling the boat to cooking and cleaning. Without some form of recognized qualification you are unlikely to be able to do this. A minimum qualification would be 'day skipper' or the equivalent.
Your friendly local harbormaster would have a list of reliable boat owners who are licensed to make their craft available in various ways for charter services. "Party boats" would differ from "bareboat sailing", "whale-watching", or "fishing expedition" charters, for example.
A schooner is a sailing vessel with at least two masts. If only two-masted the aft (main) mast is generally taller than the fore-mast. A Bareboat charter is a contract by which one party (the charterer) charters or rents a vessel from another party (generally the owner) but without crew, it being the charterer's intent to crew the vessel himself.

I'm not sure what you're asking here. If you mean do you need a license to charter (rent) a boat to go sailing, then depending on where you're located, probably not. The charter operator will want to ensure that you know how to handle the boat, but unless there is a state requirement for boater certification (which is becoming more common), no license is required. If you want to put your boat into a charter pool so someone else can charter it, then any licensing requirements would probably be handled by the charter operator. If you want to become a charter operator, then there would certainly be a number of hoops to jump through, and some sort of licensing would probably be required.
The word that relates to the sea and sailing in "O Captain! My Captain!" is "ship" which symbolizes the journey taken by the ship (representing the nation) and the captain (symbolizing Abraham Lincoln) guiding it.
No
In most places you do not. However because of the nature of the enterprise there are many sailing schools which offer certification. If you charter a vessel to sail it yourself you will need some form of formal certificate.
By definition the captain does.
The actual name of the first sailing captain is not known because sailing has been a form of transportation for thousands of years. As a group, the Phoenicians were some of the very earliest and best sailors.
There are plenty of online services that offer booking a boating charter. Some of these are: Charter World, Yachtico, Charter Fox, Lookout Adventures, Ultra Sailing and many more.
