Family Yacht Adventure

A private sailing adventure created especially for families. Children can discover the joy of sailing, enjoy age-appropriate water activities and make unforgettable memories, while parents relax aboard Independence with a full professional crew and complete private-charter service.

The itinerary is adapted to the children’s ages, the weather and sea conditions. We select calm bays and suitable beaches around Koh Samui or Koh Phangan, allowing the whole family to enjoy the day safely and comfortably.

We recommend the following itinerary for families with children for a more rested experience. The temperatures are more comfortable and sea conditions are often calmer. Enjoy swimming, snorkelling, water activities and a freshly prepared family lunch onboard.

  2. Welcome onboard and departure
