A Family Reunion
Three generations on board, two cabins assigned per couple, no one in the middle bunk.
A family reunion is a logistical exercise in pacing three generations. A yacht run well is the easiest format we know for this — meals happen at the same table, the swim platform keeps the children occupied, the bimini-shaded aft deck looks after the grandparents, and no one has to drive home at the end.
The shape we suggest: a long lunch (15:00) rather than a short one, a single ashore meal per day, the chef serving on board for the rest. Grandparents get the master suite or the most stable cabin; the children share the bow cabin or the convertible TV room.
The office handles
Quietly,
in the background.
- 01A shaded seating area on the aft deck — bimini extended, pillows arranged for elders
- 02Cabin assignments confirmed in writing two weeks ahead (no surprises at embarkation)
- 03A short transfer from the marina pontoon — we walk a guest with limited mobility on board with two crew either side
- 04Lunch with real cutlery, real glassware, a vegetable course
- 05A swim platform rigged like a pool deck — foam mat, snorkels, paddle board, watchful bosun
- 06A return before dark, the seating positioned out of the wind for the elders

Suggested yachts
Built for this kind of day.
35.0 mFriendship
115ft Benetti — the flagship of the fleet. Refit in 2019, full-beam master suite, four further guest cabins, and a sundeck built for shaded dining at twelve. A crew of six runs the boat as a household: chef, two stewards, captain, two engineers. Built for weeks aboard, not days.
31.0 mDark Knight
102ft Leopard with twin MTUs, 26 knots flat. Built for owners who'd rather arrive than cruise — Formentera in forty minutes, Mallorca before lunch. Twelve guests across five staterooms; a crew of four who've been aboard since the 2023 refit.
31.0 mLa Romana
Sister hull to Dark Knight, refit 2024. Same Leopard 102 chassis, same twin MTUs — finished in warm teak and cream. Flybridge jacuzzi, foredeck sun pads, a tender lift that handles 4.2m. Quieter at speed than the original.
30.2 mLady KC
99ft Maiora with zero-speed stabilisers — comfortable at anchor in any swell. Flybridge jacuzzi, sun beds, sound system, and a full provisioning package included: seabob, jet ski, paddleboards, drinks. The reliable choice for guests who value stillness over speed.

Questions we hear
Most-asked.
Can we accommodate mobility limitations?+
Yes. We brief the marina to position the boat closest to the pontoon, and the bosun and a stewardess walk every elder guest on board. For wheelchair users we recommend our yachts with a stern beach platform that lowers to dock level.
What if the children want a different schedule from the adults?+
We split the day. Adults take a long lunch at the table; children get a kids' menu on the bow and the swim platform rigged with a slide. The bosun supervises while parents and grandparents have their hour.
