Taking the Family on a Trip? Try a Caribbean Sailboat Charter
Unless you’re a sailor by hobby, you probably think of sailboats as romantic getaways for couples. Film and cinema show sailboats as luxurious opportunities to get away from it all and feel the wind in your hair, and while children do sometimes participate, it’s often in competitive sports. Family sailing is a fantastic vacation opportunity, and a Caribbean sailboat charter is both exciting and luxurious for the whole family. Here are some of the reasons why.
Sailing is Great for Bonding as a Family
Whether you like the idea of a bareboat charter or you opt for the full-crew experience, there’s nothing quite like sailing for family bonding. Depending on the scope of your vacation, you may have three or four generations sailing together and sharing stories. Sailing creates beautiful memories that won’t soon be forgotten, and there’s no feeling in the world like it. Moms, dads, children, siblings, grandparents, aunts, uncles, and cousins alike can reunite and celebrate aboard a beautiful sailing vessel in the Caribbean.
Enjoy Reflection and Daydreaming
A Caribbean sailboat charter is a great choice for a family vacation because your time will be divided between sailing on the open sea and enjoying several onshore experiences along the Caribbean islands. From the Bahamas to the US or British Virgin Islands, there’s no shortage of beautiful sights to see, but it’s the time out on the open water that most people really enjoy. The feeling of speeding along the surface and being pushed by the wind creates the perfect environment for restorative daydreaming and healing reflection.
It’s a Learning Experience for Children
Too many of today’s youth spend the entirety of their childhoods indoors. Even when they go on vacation, they spend hours inside hotels, museums, restaurants, and other establishments. A family sailboat vacation ensures that children spend plenty of time in the great outdoors, often in ways that many people don’t get to experience in their lifetimes. They can see the sights from the deck of the boat, explore beautiful islands, and perhaps even walk in areas where no other person has ever placed their feet.
Focus on the Here and Now – Not the Phone or Laptop
A Caribbean sailboat charter is perhaps one of the most effective ways to help keep kids (and adults!) in the present rather than scrolling on their phones or laptops. Wi-Fi internet is available on every boat, so while it’s entirely possible to spend a day scrolling social media, it’s highly discouraged. If anything, use your phone for capturing beautiful photos as a family and sharing them with loved ones back home. Live in the here and now on your sailboat vacation and leave the laptop in your cabin.
Family vacations don’t have to consist of traveling 13 hours in a crowded car just to reach a crowded Florida resort. In fact, a chartered sailboat to the Caribbean islands is a once-in-a-lifetime experience for many, and it can even change lives and family dynamics for the better.
