In this issue: - Thailand for Xmas and New Years - Early Bird Discounts for Gulets in Turkey and Croatia - Our Top Rated Yachts

November 11, 2011

This November, we at Boatbookings want to bring your attention to two charter opportunities that may be less visited than the BVI or French Riviera, but special and welcoming in many unique ways.

In fact, year after year we get glowing reports from our clients who charter in Thailand or book Gulets for their holidays. We still have availability in Phuket for the Christmas/New Years Break, and a complete choice of stylish Gulets for all budgets in Turkey and Croatia. We also have a new page listing the best of the best yachts as rated by you the charterer, which is becoming one of the busiest pages on the site.

We hope this gets you dreaming of your next time on the water, and please contact us for any and all questions about these, or other charter opportunities!
