If you manage to get a crew and decide on dates at
least 6 months before sailing, in most cases you can get more favourable rental rates because it qualifies as early booking.
Early booking ensures occupancy of the boat for the charter company, while you get more favourable rental conditions. Also, by booking early, you have more chance of getting the holiday you want. It means, you can book the model, dates and port of departure you desire.
Features of early booking in charter:
- additional discount on the boat rental price of between 15% and 45%
- you can choose the model of the boat you want
- you can choose the dates you want
- you can choose the port of departure you want.
The booking of a boat is confirmed by a down-payment of 30% to 50% of the total rental price with the remainder to be paid 4 weeks before sailing out.
