Yacht Charter: Top Kid-Friendly Vacation
Published Wednesday, February 16th 2022
Let’s be honest. Family vacations are not always fun or relaxing for parents. They can involve running around to find their activities, wondering where to eat, and fussing about strange food.
However, on a family yacht charter, all of these worries disappear. The whole family, parents included, has an unforgettable family vacation. You can relax while the kids swim, suntan while they play, or do everything together as a family.
You’ll have a private chef who will customize your meals to suit your family’s tastes and a professional and enthusiastic crew who will organize games, excursions, and activities. More importantly, you’ll all be staying on your family yacht charter instead of dealing with crowded tourist attractions, with the added freedom to do as much or as little as you wish.
Here we sum up six ways that make a luxury yacht charter kid-friendly.
Child-Friendly Crews
We recommend family yacht charters with phenomenal crews who always go the extra mile to make things fun for everyone. Family-friendly charters provide an ideal team to look after your family. They’re enthusiastic, professional, and resourceful. They love kids and can come up with 101 ideas to entertain the little ones.
Making Mealtime Magical
Do you have picky eaters in your family? No problem. Your private chef creates special kid-friendly menus to cater to those with fussy appetites. When you provide information about your children's eating preferences, the yacht stocks up accordingly to cater to adventurous eaters and choosy ones alike. So whether your child joins you for a grilled lobster tail with white truffle oil sauce or wants a big bowl of mac & cheese, the chef has you covered.
On occasion, there's even interactive fun in the galley. Chefs may invite kids to assist with making cookies or setting up an ice cream sundae buffet.
Age-Appropriate Activities
Children are not an all-encompassing category. The yacht charter crew knows that what works wonders for a toddler is deemed silly by an older brother or sister, and tweens need just the right balance of supervision and independence on their way to becoming adrenaline-charged teenagers. Besides their ages, we will want to know more about your children's preferences so that the crew can cater to everyone, from budding marine biologists to jet-ski junkies.
Welcome to Your Playground at Sea
A superyacht is the ultimate playground. We wouldn't wish anyone to miss the natural wonders you’ll encounter at sea while their eyes are fixated on electronic devices. Parents know best, so let us know what balance of electronics versus adventure you prefer, and the crew will make it so.
Your private family yacht charter comes fully stocked with fun, like snorkeling, water skiing, tubing, kayaking, wakeboarding, jet-skiing, windsurfing, sun floats, fishing gear, wave runners, and so much more. And onboard film libraries and board games are always at hand for after-dinner amusement.
Child Care Options
The right balance between inclusive family fun and adults-only leisure time is key to maximizing everyone's enjoyment on a luxury yacht charter vacation. Crews will happily engage with kids and take them on adventures, but they are not babysitters, as they have so much to do onboard. If you want more quality alone time or nights out, consider bringing along a nanny or other family members. Many superyachts have nanny cabins.
Safety and Comfort
Safety and comfort on a family yacht charter are essential. Begin by considering your choice of yacht. If children are very young, consider their safety on deck and around stairs. Some superyachts have incorporated safety nets and baby gates into the design that are functional without being intrusive. If you prefer a sailing yacht, a catamaran might be an excellent choice, as they don't lean over when you sail, making it much easier for kids to maintain their balance.
