End of October is the time of the year when the Mediterranean Super Yacht Charter season has finally ended.
The super yacht crews are usually taking first holidays after months of long hours of hard work or they are heading back on shore after experiencing their first charter season. Some yachts are also heading towards shipyards for their latest refit or are simply being retired for the winter.

For Andreas L, our favourite 60m luxury super yacht is offering a special deal in Gocek, Turkey whereby you can get this fabulous charter yacht with more than 20% discount at this time of the year.

Some may end up in the Southern Pacific or French Polynesia and offer charters in the Tahiti, Fiji or as far afield as the remote Marquises Archipelago.
