Tips For Planning A Sailing Trip To Exumas With Kids

 Family holidays are the blessed moments that make great memories to cherish later. But one has to be very careful about taking kids on a sailing adventure. Although the trips will definitely help change the mental and emotional well-being, you need to be extra careful while hiring an Exumas Yacht Rental in terms of kids' safety and comfort. 

In this blog, you will learn about some handy tips to make your sailing expedition with kids successful and memorable. 

Choose the right vessel

Thinking of hiring an Exumas Yacht Chartercatamarans are the best choice for a family vacation. Catamarans stay steady in all weather conditions and offer a great degree of privacy for personal space. For a compact family of four, you can easily rent a 38ft catamaran, and the space will suffice your need. 

The best part about catamarans is that they have huge inside space and galley. Kids can explore and play along the whole area but only under the elder's supervision. You can also ask the crew to fix a trampoline for the better safety of your kids. 

Life jackets must be worn

If your kids prefer enjoying themselves on their own and wish to play outside, always make them wear life jackets. Before setting the sail, let your captain or Exumas Boat Rental agent know your kids' age, height, and weight for a better fit of life jackets. 

Feel free to ask for a safety net while on sail

You always need to be a little extra cautious while on the sail. Therefore, you can feel free to ask about safety nets if kids are on board. The safety net is generally designed to prevent humans above knee-high size from going overboard and causing accidents. 

Carry emergency medicines 

Although charter boats have an emergency medical kit onboard, they don't carry pain relief and seasickness medicines. Therefore, you must come with an emergency supply of your medicines all decked up. Also, you should know that seasickness is going to hit all of your family members. So, come packed with pills or snacks to avoid it. 

Apart from that, a few basic medicines which you should carry along with the medical kit are;

  • Pain relief
  • Fever relief
  • Insect repellent
  • Plasters or bandages for cuts
  • A lot of sunscreens 
  • Ointments

Pack clothes to keep your family warm

Waters have an unexpected climate. In the daytime, there is a lot of sun rays. But the night could be cold. Sometimes, you also need to wear something warm during the daytime to keep you safe from cold winds. So, it would be best if you packed clothes for both warm and humid environments and chilly nights. Along with that, you must carry flip-flops and sandals of your choices and comforts. 

Bring some games for keeping kids engaged

Elders may spend their whole day gazing at the greenery and eloquent waterfronts of islands from Exumas Boat Charter, but kids still need to develop that sense. So, they could get bored and need some mode of entertainment to keep them busy. Therefore, you should carry some board games or activity games along with you for their engagement. You can also rent inflatable slides, boogie boards, etc., for your kids' different levels of engagement.
