Family Charters in Americas

The Americas function as three separate cruising grounds: Alaska and the Pacific Northwest run June to early September, offering genuine expedition cruising within commercial range of Seattle and Vancouver. New England, Newport, Nantucket, the Maine coast, is a July/August classic, a gin-and-tonic cruising ground of lobster anchorages and Vanderbilt-era architecture. The Galápagos is the most regulated cruising ground on earth: only specific permitted vessels may enter, itineraries are fixed, and a licensed naturalist guide is required. For guests willing to plan ahead, it is the single most compelling wildlife charter on the planet. Child-safe yachts with certified kids' crew, cabin configurations for multi-generational groups, shallow-draft tenders, and itineraries timed around short attention spans. Matched to Americas, the fleet narrows to the yachts that actually deliver on the brief in practice, rather than on paper.
