Frequently Asked Questions About 2026 Schedule
Find answers to common questions about our scheduling, availability, and booking process.
Can I book custom departure dates not shown in the 2026 schedule?
Absolutely! While we display our regular scheduled departures, we can arrange custom departure dates based on group availability and minimum requirements. For groups of 8+ people on Open Trips or private yacht charters, custom dates are often possible. Contact our team with your preferred dates and we’ll discuss options. Minimum 3 weeks notice required for custom bookings, though earlier notification increases options.
What is the best time to visit for weather and fewer crowds?
April, May, September, and October (shoulder seasons) offer ideal conditions: calm seas, excellent visibility, comfortable temperatures (25-28°C), and fewer tourists. These months provide the perfect balance of weather, availability, and value. Peak season (June-August) features consistent trade winds and daily departures but with higher prices and limited availability. Wet season (December-March) brings occasional showers but exceptional pricing and a more intimate experience.
How far in advance should I book to get my preferred date?
For shoulder seasons (April-May, September-November), booking 4-8 weeks in advance ensures good availability. Peak season (June-August) should be booked 8-12 weeks ahead, though availability becomes limited or sold out for many dates. For last-minute travelers, we often have available spots on nearby dates. Flexibility with dates increases booking options significantly. Private charters require a minimum 3-4 weeks notice, but 6-8 weeks is recommended for optimal vessel and date selection.
Are there any discounts for booking multiple dates or group bookings?
Yes! Groups of 6 or more passengers receive special group discounts (typically 10-15% off standard prices). Early bird discounts apply for bookings made 12+ weeks in advance. Loyalty discounts are available for repeat customers. Corporate and special event bookings often qualify for additional savings. Promotional offers vary by season. Contact us directly with your group size and dates for a customized quote and special pricing.
What happens if my departure date is sold out?
If your preferred date shows as “Sold Out,” we have several options: (1) We can add you to a waitlist in case of cancellations, (2) Alternative dates just before or after your preferred date may be available, (3) Private charter charters are often available even when open trips are sold out, (4) We can suggest similar dates in nearby shoulder seasons. Our team will work with you to find the best solution. Contact us on WhatsApp with your preferred date and we’ll explore all possibilities.
