The 50/50 formula
Half the time is quiet rest for adults, half is the kids' program: swims, a "young sailor's watch" at the helm, knots, crab hunts, snorkeling with fish. Kids don't get bored aboard — the sea keeps them busy.
A crew of families
On family tours we match the crew so other families with similar-age kids are aboard. The kids bond as a pack; the adults finally exhale. Shared holidays bond families amazingly — I see it every season.
Safety
- Kids' life vests — always on passages;
- boat rules and a briefing in game form;
- short hops, calm sheltered waters;
- the captain nearby 24/7.
When to go
Best with kids: Turkey in June and September (warm sea, mild sun), Greece in summer, velvet season until early November. For autumn school break we run a special family tour along the Lycian coast.
There's also a separate format — the kids' sailing camp: a sea camp where children learn real sailing.
