Great kid-friendly crews engage kids and make them feel special with fun games, themed parties, and nautical-themed lessons. In other words, the crew can make all the difference and help enhance you and your kid’s stay. Be sure you ask your yacht broker for advice.

A great way to prepare and excite your kids about a sailing holiday: Let them help plan it. Ask your kids what they’d like to do on their ideal vacation. Find out which things they’d like to try, what they’d like to see and do.

Sometimes, due to weather, or days at sea, your kids will spend a lot of time on the yacht. That’s why it’s important to consider on-board amenities and activities. Plus, if your kids need WIFI, be sure to find a boat with up-to-date communications systems.
