When to Sail
Off-Peak
Lower prices — some charters offer discounts up to 20% versus peak — with calm seas and clear water already arriving.
Peak Season
High demand and the best conditions; book several months ahead. Prices can rise 15% or more.
The wet season (May to September) may bring lower prices, but also more unpredictable weather and rougher seas that can affect your itinerary.
A personalised experience for families or groups, from around $1,200 per night for a small yacht (4–6 guests). Tailored itineraries and complete privacy.
More budget-friendly, from around $300 per person for a week. Fixed itineraries and the chance to meet fellow travellers — great for solo adventurers.
