Charter sailboats and catamarans:
 Sailboats and catamarans are significantly less expensive than motor boats, and may offer even more room. Catamarans offer very large saloons, lots of privacy in the staterooms located in the pontoons, and of course, an infinitely lower fuel consumption. There is no longer a dichotomy between motor yachts and sailboats when it comes to comfort, but the price can be 2/3rds less when all expenses are added up.

Check the fuel consumption:
 Similar sized boats may have dramatically different levels of fuel
consumption, and therefore cost. A 40 meter Benetti Super Yacht may
consume less than half of the fuel of a Mangusta. Yes, it will not go
quite as fast, but the savings could pay for many meals and shopping
excursions along the way!
Boatbookings has also developed a new Fuel Consumption Calculator to help you understand fuel consumption for your charter. Click Here for more details

Look for deals:
 Not
surprisingly, it's more of a "buyer's market" than we've seen in many
years in the yacht charter market. Especially at the luxury end of the market, there may be more deals to be found
than normal.
Also, depending on the season, some operators will discount the rate for charters longer than seven days.

Charter where your money stretches further:
 In Southeast Asia, Thailand has a relatively low cost of living and is therefore less expensive as a charter
destination compared to Western Europe, and once you're
there, your money will stretch much further for provisioning.
Also,
within Europe, Croatia and the Canary Islands
offer some of the lowest prices for yachts, with no compromise in the
beauty of the charter area!
Similarly, in the Americas, Mexico now represents an exceptional charter value with greatly reduced costs of provisions, docking and fuel.

And remember, book early!
 There are plenty of discounts if you book early - before January for
the Mediterranean, before September for the Winter season in the
Caribbean. You can easily save 10% to 20% on your charter fee, and
your flights will be cheaper as well!
