The Triton Newspaper just released the results of a survey that questioned captains and crew about having children as guests onboard yachts. Respondents were primarily crew on yachts between 80 and 140 feet in length.\u00a0 Over 81% of yachts expect to have kids aboard during the high season, and 74% enjoy having children as guests.<\/p>\n

In general, although contractually the legal responsibility belongs to the charterers<\/strong>, the crew make every effort to both entertain and educate their younger guests. Charter yachts normally feature a variety of onboard activities to amuse children and grown-ups alike. Besides cards, board games and entertainment systems with the latest movies, video games and the ever-popular Wii, crews are generally delighted to have a junior chef or mini-mate who is eager to literally learn the ropes.<\/p>\n

Typical activities the crew do with kids are fishing<\/strong> (always a huge favorite), water sports<\/strong> (kids love them and it tires them out!), helping\u00a0 prepare food<\/strong> in the galley, and having a treasure hunt<\/strong>. Kids also love just learning<\/strong> how yachts work, such as seeing the engines, navigation systems, and gadgets in the bridge.<\/p>\n

The way to insure a successful family charter is to carefully consider everyone\u2019s needs and expectations in advance<\/strong>. Communication between the charter agent, parents, children and the crew is key to having a great experience that is memorable for everyone, regardless of age.\u00a0\u00a0 Please see “Chartering with Children<\/a>” for some valuable tips on family charter.
