For A Date In The Diary

A Vacation Tailored To Perfection
Early booking isn’t just about getting the yacht of your choice during your selected dates; pre-planning opens up further opportunities to create the ultimate personalized charter. With ample time ahead of the charter, your consultant and crew can refine each aspect of the experience completely stress-free. Firstly, a bespoke itinerary can be crafted well in advance, which will maximize your time at the destination.
Finer details of the itinerary can also be planned, such as securing coveted dining reservations, booking private and exclusive tours and trips, and giving you access to exclusive activities that get booked up quickly, especially during the Mediterranean summer. If you are looking to have additional and specialized equipment onboard for adventures, then early booking ensures you can get exactly what you want on board ready for your vacation. Depending on where you choose to cruise, you may need to gain special cruising permits; for off-the-beaten-path destinations such as the Galapagos, this has to be arranged months in advance.
For Celebrations In Style
For those planning to attend any global special event, which is best enjoyed on a yacht charter, booking early is important. The two most prestigious events on the French Riviera are the Monaco Grand Prix and the Cannes International Film Festival.
Chartering a yacht for these events provides the ultimate vantage point away from the crowds, luxurious comfort, and unmatched privacy. When it comes to other events, such as personal milestones and celebrations or corporate events, booking early is highly recommended if such events fall on particular dates, especially those that combine with the peak season. Not only does early booking allow you to secure the yacht and superior berths, but it also enables easier coordination with external suppliers if requested for onboard celebrations.
Benefit From Favorable Practicalities
Beyond the yacht and experience, early booking may welcome financial advantages. Many yachts offer early booking rates or special promotions alongside flexible payment terms, giving you more time to budget and plan without the pressure of last-minute decisions.
By locking your preferred yacht in early, you also have the opportunity to allocate more resources to enhance your charter experience further. Booking early may also mean you may benefit from lower rates when it comes to travel to and from the yacht, giving you the best choices and avoiding any logistical pressures nearer to the charter dates.
