Thinking about a yacht charter with kids? Here’s how to make it safe, easy, and genuinely fun—especially for families with younger children. We explain why a catamaran is usually the best “floating condo” setup for families, what safety add-ons actually help, what gear to bring from home so kids will use it, and how to choose a kid-friendly destination (like the BVI) that keeps stress low and smiles high.

In this video you’ll learn:
- Why catamarans are the best family platform (space + stability)
- Safety netting, life jackets, and the “comfort = use” rule
- How to reduce seasickness risk
- A realistic “typical day” family itinerary
- Caribbean vs Mediterranean expectations (beach time vs marinas)
- How to keep kids engaged onboard (make it a game)
