How long is the yacht charter season?

A yacht charter season lasts approximately three-five months and has a peak period with a shoulder season to either side. The Mediterranean luxury yacht charter season, for example, is considered to commence with the Cannes Film Festival in May and come to a close in September with the Monaco Yacht Show. The Caribbean yacht charter season is not as clearly defined, however Christmas and New Year is the peak period although yachts will start arriving in September for the Fort Lauderdale International Boat Show (FLIBS).
