The global economic crisis has hit many people and industries worldwide, and the yacht charter business is no exception. This summer travel season is unique as owners are offering deals on last-minute bookings. The Mediterranean is the place to be this summer. Owners there still have open weeks on their luxury yachts, and they’re more willing than usual to consider offers or even publish offers. Normally this would be the time of year to book Caribbean yacht charters early for the winter months, where current charters would already be filled. This year, however, people are still able to find last minute deals in the Mediterranean as well.
