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.
Where we offer this experience
We offer a range of routes between May and October, including: Sardinia and Corsica (departure from Olbia in Sardinia); the Amalfi Coast (departure from the port of Castellammare di Stabia, about 30 minutes from Naples airport); the Gulf of Naples, including Capri, Ischia, Procida, Ponza; and the Egadi and Aeolian Islands of Sicily. The minimum booking is usually one week, although shorter trips can also be arranged, depending on the time of year. Each of the four double, en suite berths on board have air conditioning, heating and Wi-Fi. Most trips start close to an international airport, so transfers are quick and easy.
