Frequently asked
About this charter type
Cyclades or Ionian for a family with 6-year-old?
Ionian. Wind-stable, calm anchorages, shorter passages, family-tuned tavernas. The Cyclades Meltemi can scare young children and the passages are longer.
Can crew handle infant routines?
Yes - stewardesses are routinely trained for nap timing, bottle prep, baby-monitor support. Brief George 14+ days ahead with specific routines.
What if a child gets seasick?
Stabilisers are the answer. A 32m motor yacht with Seakeeper gyroscopic stabilisers eliminates 95% of roll. Sailing yachts also reduce roll under canvas.
