Destinations

Family travelers have begun taking advantage of a new type of travel: the sailing vacation. Sea-based vacation company Dream Yacht Worldwide is spreading the word that sailing vacations are great for families as no sailing experience is necessary and they might be more affordable than people assume.

 

Dream Yacht Worldwide recommends its sailing vacations for families with children 6 years of age and older with swimming skills.

 

Here are the company’s top picks for family sailing vacations:

 

British Virgin Islands

Charters here let families enjoy 60 islands and islets, hopping between uninhabited islands, resorts and beachside villages. Explore giant boulders at The Bath or snorkel the Caves near Treasure Point. July seven-night sailings start at $5,755 for a private four-bedroom/four-bathroom yacht accommodating six and including a skipper.

 

Bahamas

Wildlife-loving families will enjoy Bahamian activities where they can meet iguanas, sharks, dolphins, rays, tropical fish, green parrots and the famous swimming pigs. July seven-night sailings start at $8,020 for a private four-bedroom/four-bathroom yacht accommodating six and including a skipper.

 

U.S. Virgin Islands

With no passport required to visit the U.S. Virgin Islands, the beautiful Caribbean beaches here are open to even more visitors. Excellent snorkeling awaits at Leinster Bay and Watermelon Cay. July seven-night sailings start at $6,390 for a private four-bedroom/four-bathroom yacht accommodating six and including a skipper.
