Hey everyone, has anyone else noticed how tricky it's gotten lately to snag a decent boat in those classic vacation spots? A couple summers back my family planned this chill trip to the Greek islands, dreaming of hopping between little coves on a rented sailboat. We started looking maybe four months out and everything decent was already gone or priced way up. Ended up settling for something smaller and honestly it felt rushed. Back then things seemed easier, but now with more folks chasing that water escape post-pandemic, popular places like the Med or Caribbean feel squeezed. Wondering if others have seen the same shift in availability over the past few years—fewer options, higher demand, or maybe some spots actually improving? Curious what you've run into on your trips.

Yeah, totally get that frustration. I've been hitting up spots in Croatia and the Balearics the last couple seasons, and it's wild how fast things book up now compared to say 2020 or so. Right after everything opened back up, there was this surge where boats were plentiful since not as many people were traveling yet, but lately it's flipped—demand's through the roof with everyone wanting those outdoor vibes without crowds on land. I've found that checking platforms helps a ton for seeing what's left in real time, like https://getboat.com/ where I've pulled up last-minute deals or compared different sizes without feeling pressured. It's just my take, but having that flexibility has saved a few trips from being total busts. Still, yeah, prime weeks in July-August? Good luck unless you're planning a year ahead.
