Where to charter for Autumn Half-Term
The October break – half-term in Britain, Toussaint in France, Herbstferien in Germany. The eastern Mediterranean is still warm and nearly empty, and the Indian Ocean and Andaman season is opening.
The date above is the travel window minus 55 days. Our own enquiries put the median gap between first contact and departure at 40 days, so this has you looking early rather than late.

Why these charter grounds suit the dates
Greece
The Ionian offers calm, sheltered waters ideal for families, while the Cyclades reward experienced crews when the meltemi blows in high summer.
Turkey
The Turquoise Coast enjoys one of the Mediterranean's longest seasons, with sheltered gulfs around Göcek and Bodrum that stay calm even in high summer.
Spain
The Balearics run on gentle thermal breezes – Mallorca and Menorca for coves and calm, Ibiza and Formentera for the season's social calendar.
Thailand
The northeast monsoon brings the Andaman Sea's dry season – Phang Nga's limestone karsts and the Similans at their clearest between December and February.
Maldives
The northeast monsoon brings mirror-flat lagoons and the season's best visibility – manta and whale-shark encounters included.
Bahrain
The Gulf's winter window pairs F1 weekend glamour with pearl-diving heritage and calm island-dotted shallows.
