If your budget is less than € 1,500 per week, there’s no need to worry! Here are some tips for achieving that cruise of your dreams.
The price depends, of course, on the size of the boat: Choosing a sailing yacht rather than a motorboat will decrease the price drastically.
To charter a yacht in low season, for example, is the best way to get the best price and an attractive discount. You will be able to rent a standard-sized monohull to sail the Atlantic, the Mediterranean and even the Caribbean! It remains to pay the airfare.
If you want charter in high season you should consider a cabin charter! Ideal for couples, as you will sail with other couples who, like you do not want to miss the pleasure of navigation. You will be taught basic manoeuvres by a captain and sailor, but you can always offer your help and learn all the tricks to become a better sailor. The cabin rental offers are often on catamarans, more comfortable and each cabin has its own bathroom.
Sailing with friends is not just an essential way to spend a good holiday, but also the best way to reduce the cost of renting the boat. Indeed, if you are a group of six or more people, you can rent a big boat in mid or high season without spending too much per person.
It is possible to sometimes receive an early booking discount on certain fleets if you book well in advance. So if you have dates in mind for your next sailing holiday in the future be sure to keep this in mind!
