Should you book your yacht charter early or wait for a last-minute deal? While spontaneous bookings can sometimes score discounts, they come with limited choice and availability. Early reservations secure the best yachts, routes, and dates - especially for high-demand summer weeks. Planning ahead also gives you more time to customize your itinerary. Learn the real pros and cons of each approach so you can make the right decision for your next yachting holiday.
