Late autumn (November) is the most budget-friendly but has cooler waters, reduced amenities, and the advantage of sportier sailing conditions due to increased winds.

You'll receive the boat with a full tank, and you're also expected to return it in the same way—fully fueled. This means you'll need to refuel the boat and cover the fuel expenses yourself. If you return the boat with a partially used tank, the charter company will calculate the cost of the missing fuel and charge you for refueling accordingly.
