This Week's Charter Deals #1

Twelve charter offers that operators publish on their own websites, from winter in the Caribbean to early booking for the 2027 Mediterranean season. We checked each one by hand on 21 Oct 2026, and each links to the operator's page. These are plain source links, not affiliate links, and we earn nothing from them (our disclosure). Where we show a price, it's copied exactly as the operator shows it for that boat and date. Prices change daily, so always confirm on the operator's page.

The big one: 12 days left to lock in 2027 early-booking discounts

The Moorings and Sunsail take 10% off most 2027 departures from April 1 to December 16 (peak dates excluded), but only on bookings made by 2 November 2026. The same deadline applies to their 15% BVI and monohull offers and the 20% Mediterranean autumn offer. On The Moorings' offers page, a 4-cabin Moorings 4200 catamaran from Marina Agana in Croatia for 1 April 2027 shows $2,399, now $2,090 for 7 nights.[The Moorings] For context, see the low-season ranges in our Croatia guide.

Where to sail next: the Grenadines in April–May 2027

Horizon's spring offer is the best deal this week for anyone who can take a longer trip. It takes 20% off a 14-night bareboat charter between 1 April and 31 May 2027 (10% off 7 nights, 15% off 10 nights) if you book by 31 October.[Horizon Yacht Charters] April is the end of the Grenadines high season, with steady 15–20 knot trade winds, and May is a shoulder month that is usually 15–25% cheaper.[SVG Yachting] Normal weekly prices are in our Caribbean guide.

Practical tip: book through the right office, before the deadline

The Moorings and Sunsail terms say the discount "must be applied at the time of booking and cannot be added retrospectively", and that these offers apply to bookings made with their US offices.[The Moorings] If you book through a UK or European site or an agent, ask in writing whether the offer applies before you pay the deposit, and check that the discount appears on your quote. The Moorings' example prices are in US dollars.

Coming soon: marketplace deals (Click&Boat, SEARADAR and others). We'll add individual boat-and-date deals from booking marketplaces once our affiliate applications are approved and we can use their links or product feeds. Until then we don't copy prices from booking sites.
