Whilst the winter calls to mind endless images of the Caribbean, there are some very good reasons to book your 2023 Mediterranean yacht charter as early as possible.
It’s no secret that the Mediterranean is the place to be in summer. From the buzzing towns of the South of France to the sun-soaked islands of Greece, it’s where the SuperyachtSet come out to play.
The region is home to the most anticipated events of the year and invariably pulls in an A-list crowd. Behind all the glamour, though, is a great deal of planning. From booking the perfect superyacht to agreeing on charter rates and drawing up the perfect itinerary, a lot of work goes into creating an unforgettable vacation.
Besides providing you with more time to identify the perfect destination for your next escape on the water, booking your luxury charter yacht well in advance will award you with the following advantages;
Exciting superyachts for charter are in high demand. Seriously high demand. With this in mind, it pays to book your vacation well ahead of summer.
Put simply, delaying your booking means that you risk missing out on that superyacht you’ve set your heart on.

Alternatively, if you’re still on the lookout for a yacht, having plenty to compare will allow you to find the one that perfectly meets the needs of you and your party.
Whether you’re interested in experiencing the newest motor yacht available for charter, or prefer life on board a sailing yacht, booking in advance will mean that you’ve got a far greater choice at your disposal.
Memorable vacations that you’ll speak about for years to come don't just happen by accident. No, they’re the result of time spent speaking with a knowledgeable charter broker who understands your requirements and shapes an itinerary to suit them.
Want to spend some time island-hopping in the Ionian this June? Begin speaking with your broker now and you can start mapping out a unique itinerary that stops off at all of the best islands in Greece.
Would you rather be brushing shoulders with the A-List? Giving your charter broker time to arrange a Cannes Film Festival yacht charter can make that happen. Or are you looking to spend time dining, unwinding and dancing at beach clubs? St Tropez ticks all the boxes, and your broker will be able to provide you with first-hand recommendations and reserve tables ahead of your visit.
Ultimately, by providing your charter broker with more time to plan your vacation, the more finely tailored and exciting it’s going to be.

While you won't need to spend every night in port, it can be nice to spend an evening or two on shore, and head back to your yacht in the marina afterwards. The marinas in the Mediterranean get seriously busy in the summer, and competition for berths is fierce during peak season.
Islands like Capri and Ibiza are notoriously busy, with a very limited number of berths available, particularly for larger yachts. Book well in advance if you're certain you'd like to spend a night in the harbour here, and the same goes for hotspots like St Tropez and Portofino.
If you're looking to attend events such as the Monaco Grand Prix, it's advisable to book up to a year in advance, particularly if you're wanting a coveted trackside berth.
It's hard planning a yacht charter with a large group of friends and family, as you'll have to factor in when everyone's available and unavailable. Plus, there's usually only a limited number of weeks where you can charter a yacht in the destination that you want, particularly in the high season.
Luckily, co-ordinating your vacation plans are much easier if you get a jump on it and start early. Booking early means your options are wide open and ready for the taking, with the ideal dates for all the group.
No more syncing your calendars – just ask your broker to do the booking and sit back and look forward to what's coming next.
Although demand for charter yachts has increased dramatically since the pandemic, there are still bargains to be found. Many superyacht owners still offer reduced charter rates for guests who book well in advance. Whilst offers on certain yachts will vary year on year, you stand a good chance of enjoying better weekly rates if you make arrangements in winter.
