Is a BVI charter good for families with children?
Why the BVI works for families
The waters are calm, the passages are short, and most destinations are accessible by dinghy without long hikes or complex logistics. Children who might struggle on a long flight often thrive in the BVI because there is so much to do and so little to sit still for.
What keeps kids engaged
- Snorkeling reefs with sea turtles and colorful fish
- Paddleboards and inflatables
- Beach exploration and tide pools
- The bow trampoline nets between the hulls
- Swimming off the boat near anchor, weather and captain permitting
- Learning basic sailing from the captain
The chef handles the kids
Specific foods your children like and dislike go in the provisioning questionnaire. The chef accommodates it without making it complicated. Everyone eats food they enjoy — no compromises.
Teenagers
Teenagers who initially resist the idea often come around within a day or two. E-foiling, snorkeling, a new beach every day, and the freedom of being on the water exceeds their expectations every time.
Maximum capacity
Aquanimity accommodates a maximum of 8 guests. A family of four or five leaves comfortable room for everyone. A family of six fills the boat perfectly.
