Best Destinations For Yachting in October

When speaking of yachting, many think of Summer as the perfect yacht season. Warm nights, sunny days and no rain. But while it may not be Summer, there are many parts of the world that offer perfect sailing conditions in October boasting still nights and sunny days. If you know where to go and when, the yachting season does not have to be limited to only 3 months of the year!

October is an amazing time of year to go sailing and check out some of the most spectacular places around the world by yacht. Water temperatures are still comfortable for swimming as the weather warms up, conditions are clear for snorkelling, and bays are calm so you can experience a surplus of water sports. 

Here are some of the best destinations around the world for the yachting season in October.
