Experiences
Family charters
Catamarans, shallow anchorages and a crew who have done this with children before.
Families ask a different set of questions from anyone else, and the honest answers change the boat. Stability matters more than speed, shade matters more than sun deck square metres, and the right cruising ground is the sheltered one rather than the famous one.
Catamarans are the usual answer: they sit flat at anchor, draw little enough for the shallow coves children actually want, and put the cabins in two separate hulls, which matters more than it sounds at bedtime.
The right week is the sheltered one rather than the famous one: short passages, water that stays calm through the afternoon, and somewhere to go ashore every evening. The best-known cruising grounds in August are rarely the calmest, whatever the photographs suggest.
Who this suits
- Families with children of any age
- Multi-generational groups
- First charters, where a calm week matters more than a dramatic one
