What better way to spend quality time with the whole family than on a luxury charter yacht? There’s so much to see and do at sea, so the TWW Yachts charter team creates custom itineraries to ensure that there is something for all guests to enjoy. But before that time comes, here are a few things you’ll need to know about chartering with children.
Make dreams come true
While the adults will enjoy sipping champagne, dining on gourmet food, trying new watersports and lingering in the Jacuzzi – there’s plenty for a child to do. With the water toys, incredible days out, abundant nature explorations and a maze of rooms to explore aboard, a superyacht charter is like a dream come true for most kids.
Find your match
By speaking with your charter broker, you can request a child-friendly superyacht and itinerary to keep the family occupied. Knowing your crew is important, and the broker will be able to vouch for those who are most familiar with family charters. You can request that the crew steer your kids away from technology for the week, as they can tell them that their devices might interfere with the boat’s navigation! On the other hand, there are plenty of yachts for charter with TWW Yachts that have arcades of over 300 video games, libraries, games rooms and movie theatres.
Role of the crew
The crew will happily keep your children and guests entertained and can help with everything from fancy dress parties and real-life treasure hunts, to movie screenings and craft evenings. There’s also the yacht’s toy chest, which will likely include inflatable banana boats, rafts and snorkel gear. While the thought of children playing in the ocean might be scary, there’s no need to worry – your crew will be fully prepared to manage any safety concerns. The crew are on watch at all times, and many yachts carry specialist safety equipment and life jackets to create safe play areas for younger guests.
Young chefs & meal times
The galley can also be a place for fun activities for you and your family. With the help of your expert chef, children can learn new baking and cooking methods and be involved in the daily meals. For family time at its best, the children can join for evening drinks on the deck with virgin cocktails to watch the sunset. As the provisioning and menus will be pre-prepared for you, there’s no doubt that everything available on board will be exactly to you and your family’s taste.
Professional care
While many yacht crews are great with children and are happy to plan fun activities for them, they can’t be full-time childminders. Having your own nanny or asking your broker to find you a qualified professional is a great asset to have during a charter. Parents can enjoy their alone time even more knowing that the children are safe and happy with their nanny.
