Why this experience?
We’ve partnered with Arca, a boutique yacht charter company that creates bespoke sailing itineraries in the Mediterranean and offers two luxury catamarans sleeping up to eight, just perfect for families and friends.
Seeking out the finest coastlines and secret destinations, Arca customises every trip to suit you and your family, with an expert skipper and crew on hand to take care of everything. Running between May and October, the most popular routes include sailing along the Amalfi Coast and discovering the Egadi and Aeolian Islands of Sicily.
Why is it perfect for families?
Both catamarans are ideal for family sailing, where outdoor living is key and there are plenty of areas on deck for sunbathing, relaxation and watching the world go by. Nature lovers will be delighted by the pristine coastlines and snorkelling with marine life, while those after a spot of culture will enjoy stopping off at fishing villages and picturesque coastal towns. As every trip is tailormade, your family gets to decide what to do when, with a multilingual crew on hand to deal with any requests throughout the day, including shore excursions and restaurant bookings. Watersports activities are included, from SUPs to snorkelling. On the larger catamaran, Lagoon 55, there is also a private chef who prepares fresh, regional menus to suit you, so every member of your group will be happy.
