Yacht charters aren't just reserved for romantic getaways or corporate escapes. With the right vessel and itinerary, a private charter can be the perfect setup for a family-friendly adventure along the French Riviera. From onboard safety to tailored meals and child-friendly activities, families traveling together will find that a yacht offers unmatched flexibility, comfort, and privacy.


If you're planning a multi-generational holiday or a relaxing trip with kids, here’s how Navélia Yacht Charter St Tropez creates seamless experiences for families at sea.


1. Choose a Family-Ready Yacht

Not all yachts are designed with families in mind. Some vessels are optimized for adult groups or parties, while others prioritize comfort, safety, and functionality for all ages.

  • Look for safety railings, non-slip decks, and secure stairways.

  • Yachts with multiple cabins allow everyone to have their own space, while large shaded lounges provide areas for downtime.

  • Most family-friendly models come with an experienced crew, ensuring you have support throughout the charter.

Navélia Yacht Charter St Tropez offers a curated selection of vessels well-suited to family use, from sleek 20-meter cruisers to larger yachts with generous indoor and outdoor areas.


2. Engage in Water Activities for All Ages

Kids and teens love the freedom of playing in calm, clear waters—and adults do too.

  • Yachts come equipped with paddleboards, snorkeling gear, towables, and even Seabobs for older children and teenagers.

  • Calm bays near Porquerolles, Cap Taillat, or the Lérins Islands make ideal spots for swimming and water games.

  • The crew is always available to supervise or assist younger guests in the water, giving parents peace of mind.

Ask about age-appropriate toys and activity zones when booking your yacht with Navélia.


3. Onboard Dining that Suits Everyone

One of the benefits of traveling by yacht is complete control over meals.

  • Onboard chefs can customize menus to match children’s preferences, dietary restrictions, and meal times.

  • Expect fresh snacks, juices, and light bites available all day—no need to wait for restaurant hours.

  • For longer charters, family-style dining on deck can become one of the most cherished parts of the day.

Whether you want to celebrate a birthday with a themed dinner or just keep things simple, the culinary experience can be tailored from start to finish.


4. Create a Balance of Structure and Freedom

Unlike a resort with fixed programming, a yacht charter offers daily flexibility.

  • Some families prefer a structured day with scheduled stops and planned activities.

  • Others want to keep it open—deciding on the next bay or island as the day unfolds.

With Navélia, your itinerary is entirely customizable, allowing you to plan around nap times, early bedtimes, or spontaneous detours.


Bonus Tip: Bring Support or Ask for Extra Crew

Families with younger children may benefit from bringing a nanny or requesting an extra stewardess trained in childcare. This allows parents to enjoy private moments while ensuring children are entertained and safe.


Conclusion 

A family yacht charter blends luxury with meaningful time together—free from crowds, fixed check-in times, or noisy hotels. With the right yacht and a thoughtful crew, even young children can enjoy the elegance of the Riviera, and parents can relax knowing that everything is taken care of.


Navélia Yacht Charter St Tropez specializes in building charters that work across generations, ensuring each family member—from toddlers to grandparents—feels welcome, entertained, and at ease.


Whether it's your first family yacht holiday or an annual tradition in the making, the South of France offers a backdrop few places can match.
