Bring the Family Back Together with a Yacht Vacation

When’s the last time your family spent a whole week of quality time together, uninterrupted by work or everyday obligations?  When you do go on vacation, do your kids immediately run off to the hotel pool, only to return for mealtimes or to ask for more money?  Maybe they’ve even reached that awkward stage where they’re “too cool” to be seen with their parents.

As your kids get older, it’s easy to return home from a family holiday feeling like you didn’t really spend much time together, even if everyone had a good time.

Perhaps the kids have grown up and started having their own kids, and you just don’t go away together as a family anymore. You’d love to have a family holiday that includes all the generations – from the tiny babies right through to the grandparents, but you struggle to find something to do on holiday that everyone will agree on.

A luxury yacht charter is the ideal way to bring your family back together. Remember that perfect family holiday you had way back when – that one you always talk about?

Your yachting vacation can truly be like that fond old memory, only better and certain not to be forgotten by any in attendance.

Why are yachts perfect for family vacations?

A week on a luxury yacht is the holiday of everyone’s dreams. On a yacht charter, you have a beautiful yacht and an attentive crew at your service, as well as a huge range of activities to suit everyone, from the adrenaline junkie to the gourmet foodie to the nature lover.

There’s certainly no pressure for everyone to be doing the same thing. The older kids can learn to wakeboard with the deck crew, the parents might go off snorkelling on a nearby reef, the young adults can shop in the local boutiques, and the grandparents might spend a morning sightseeing or wandering the local markets. The young kids might be entertained with a pirate treasure hunt, learn to bake cakes with the chef, or go ashore to a local waterpark.

Yet, before long, the yacht brings everyone back together: for leisurely meals on deck, long afternoons lying on a deckchair, or everyone dive-bombing off the deck into the deep blue sea. At night, you all eat on deck under the stars, perhaps catch some fish off the swim platform, or cuddle up together in front of the big screen TV in the sky lounge. The nature of a yacht is to bring everyone together, while also giving everyone enough space to relax and be themselves.

Every day, the yacht moves on, and your family wakes up each morning to a new and beautiful place. You start the day with a slow breakfast together-no rushing off to work or school or errands. On a luxury yacht, stress drifts away on the tide: it belongs to another world.

Each morning you all plan your day with the captain- who wants to explore the island, who wants to take a helicopter flight to a volcano, who wants to go swimming with the sea turtles? When the yacht gets underway to its next destination, dolphins often follow to jump in the frothing wake, and your family gathers on deck to watch them, everyone leaning over the side and smiling. The memories made on a yachting vacation will never be forgotten.

Why luxury yachts are better than luxury hotels

On a yacht, you don’t have to worry about any of the things you do when you stay in a hotel, like contending with traffic to go sightseeing, or having to move hotels to enjoy the next location. On a yacht, you unpack once and your ‘hotel’ does the moving for you, from one stunning destination to the next. There are certainly no irritations with that noisy family in the hotel room next door, or the loud music coming from a nearby bar and keeping your elderly parents awake. On a luxury yacht, you find your own perfect seclusion, or you find the action in port- whatever suits your mood and what your family is looking for.

Embark on a new adventure

A yacht charter is the ultimate way to bring a family back together. It allows you to cast off from land and start a new adventure, together. It is something new, and exciting, and glamorous- yet also deeply relaxing.

Oh, and one other thing. Kids don’t get embarrassed by their parents on a yachting vacation. After all, why would they? There’s no-one around to see them. A family yachting holiday allows everyone to go back to being themselves, in a private family space. In a way it’s like hitting a reset button, back to a simpler time.

When’s the last time you had a week dedicated only to fun and relaxation, a week that would bring every member of your family back from their busy, independent schedules and allow you all to reconnect?
