October is shoulder season in Spain: the season is starting or ending, the weather is less settled and sometimes windier, but boats and berths cost noticeably less. In the Balearics the season runs May to October. July and August are the peak: marinas are expensive and full, so you anchor or pick up a buoy. June and September bring warm water and lower prices; May and October are the shoulder months. In winter people sail in the Canaries, a separate area.

Monohulls, median € per berth per week: October: €272; November: €275. October is the cheapest of the months with numbers.

Last-minute deals appear 2–6 weeks before departure. The agent checks the market about every 6 days; an alert for the country and month sends new boats right after each check.

Transit log and final cleaning, fuel, marinas and the refundable deposit by a credit card not issued in Russia; a skipper if you need one. 30–70% prepayment on booking, the rest a month before departure.

For a bareboat charter (no skipper or crew provided), yes: a skipper's licence and, as a rule, a VHF radio certificate. Without a licence, we add a skipper, paid separately from the boat price.

99% of charter fleets worldwide work this way: the boat comes back on Friday evening and goes out to the next crew on Saturday morning. Other changeover days are possible in low season, by arrangement. In some destinations (the Caribbean, Cuba, France) you can add days beyond the week: +1, 2, 3 or 4 days.
