While you're with your favorite peeps this holiday, extend your summer! Put your heads together and plan an adventure! Choose a spot that excites everyone and a date that you can all commit to and then the possibilities - and the summer - are endless.
Traveling for multigenerational family reunions is a hot trend. If you're thinking your reunion will be challenging, think again: clearly, people are traveling to be together and making it work!
Plus, you'll get the easy-breezy assistance of our seasoned agents and planning tools to handle questions, and ideas for making your yachting experience an adventure of a lifetime.
Now, because you're a thoughtful person, you think that your brood would benefit from being on a boat. So here's a little help to make your dream come true:
This is what a yacht vacation looks like.
1. Pack light. Pack once.
Admit it. You overpack and swear you'll never do it again. Yachting means packing play clothes, sunscreen and something nice to wear at dinner. We call this kind of clothing Yacht A-Wear. It's flexible and easy. (Watch for more on Yacht A-Wear-ness in our next newsletter.)
2. Yachts are floating hotels/resorts.
Not only do yachts come with the best service, best food and best toys ever, your floating hotel/resort can take YOU to activities. The party is wherever you are.
3. Separate or together, there's something for everyone.
Kids, parents and grandparents can learn to snorkel, spend hours on the water slide, defy gravity on flyboard, zoom through the water with jet packs, explore via kayaks and paddle boards, water ski, practice yoga, get a massage, watch movies, play games, read books, meet seals, tortoises, whales and dolphins. You get the drift.
4. Quality Time
Parents can rest, read, sleep in, escape to dinner on land and spend quality time with the whole family. Children can be fed ahead of adults and have an earlier bedtime.
Yes, there are motor and sailing yachts designed to accommodate wheelchairs (like the M/Y BLUE MOON below). Some have electric lifts, wide gangways, ample passages, seat belts and even showers large enough to accommodate one person, chair and caregiver.
So, this weekend, when you're together at the beach, backyard or bbq, be brave. Bring up the idea of a yacht vacation and see what happens. We promise that everyone will enjoy all the yachta yachta yachta.
