Luxury yacht holidays - best activities for families.

With the crew happy to get stuck in with you, a game of beach football is always a fun way to spend a morning before you sit down to a freshly grilled beach BBQ on a secluded shoreline. Whether you fancy yourself as a bit of a Lionel Messi, or are more of a Sunday league player, there’s no better way to bond with your family than in the shared glory of your team’s triumph.

When your charter yacht is as capacious as MOONLIGHT II, with up to 36 guests on board, you can afford to put on a full-sized football match with two 11-strong teams, five substitutes each and four officials. Young and old, get everyone involved and you will be sure to make some special family memories that stay with you long after your charter is over.

You would be forgiven for thinking that yachts and tennis courts are never seen together, but in fact a growing number of superyachts have been built with tennis facilities for their fanatical owners. And now as a guest, you too can enjoy brushing up on your serve while on board a select number of tennis-equipped superyachts.

Aside from her stunning glass-bottomed swimming pool, vast beach club and famously family-friendly crew, FAITH has a unique games deck that can be used for tennis, football, volleyball and basketball. She is a dream charter yacht for a sports-crazy family that has exceptionally high standards.

Hit the beach and get ready to perfect your serve, set and spike with a family friendly game of volleyball. Most superyachts have volleyball equipment available as part of their beach games set-up, and will be happy to sub in some of the sporty crew to lend a hand if you are short a player or two. Even if you have never played before, volleyball is a relatively easy game to get the hang of and it will be sure to offer endless family fun for a trip ashore during your yacht charter.

SECRET’s convenient 8.5m beach landing tender offers the perfect ride ashore for all the family, even those with limited mobility, to enjoy a day in a secluded spot for volleyball, food and fun. And if you’re feeling particularly active, you can use one of the yacht’s many paddleboards and kayaks to get there under your own steam.

There’s no more exclusive a location to shoot some hoops than on the deck of a superyacht, and what a great way to bond during a family yacht charter. Whether you’re trying to even out a lifelong challenge with siblings, or wanting to start a new tradition with your children, a little basketball is a great way to pass a few hours on board.

With a flexible cabin layout, a large selection of wellness amenities and great entertainment facilities, JOY is a great option for a family friendly charter – and her foredeck basketball court is the icing on the cake. If you need to recruit some extra team players, her young and friendly crew are always happy to step in.
