Handling Children On Your Superyacht? Here Are Top Tips On Coping

Handling children on your superyacht can be challenging, but with the right approach, you can keep them entertained, out of your way, and impress their parents in the process. Here’s how you can manage the little ones with ease and confidence. With these strategies, you’ll be able to handle even the most energetic young guests, ensuring they have a memorable time while making your job a little easier.

Creative Playtime: Arts & Crafts With Board Games

Arts & Crafts: Set up a dedicated craft area with protective coverings and supplies like coloured paper, pipe cleaners, and stickers. Activities like mask-making or decorating candle holders can keep kids engaged and allow them to show off their creations to their parents.

Board Games: Simple games like Uno or kids’ Monopoly can be surprisingly entertaining for children. These games are easy to store and can be a great way to keep kids occupied while encouraging social interaction.

Themed Evenings: Movie Night & DIY Pizza

Movie Night: Transform the sky lounge into a cosy cinema with cushions, throws, and fairy lights. Choose a popular movie, prepare some stain-safe snacks, and enjoy a relaxed evening with the kids.

DIY Pizza: If the chef agrees, organise a pizza-making session where kids can create their own meals. Using ready-made bases, let them choose their toppings and enjoy the satisfaction of eating something they’ve made themselves.

Fun In The Galley: Sweet Treats & More

Cupcakes & Biscuits: Decorating cupcakes or biscuits is always a hit. With the chef’s help, provide plain treats for the kids to decorate with icing and sprinkles, making sure to protect the area from any messes.

Outdoor Activities: Water Fights & Fishing

Water Fight: Equip the kids (and maybe the crew) with water pistols for a fun and energetic water fight. It’s a great way to cool off and burn some energy.

Fishing: Introduce the kids to fishing with the yacht’s equipment. The thrill of catching and releasing fish can be an exciting and rewarding experience for them.

Pamper And Play: Beauty Parlour & LEGO Challenges

Girls’ Beauty Parlour: If the yacht has a spa, consider offering manicures, pedicures, and simple hairstyling sessions for the girls. It’s a fun way to make them feel special.

LEGO Challenge: Create a few pre-built LEGO models and challenge the kids to replicate them without instructions. It’s a fun and competitive way to keep them entertained while encouraging creativity.

Grand Adventure: Yacht Olympics & Treasure Hunt

Yacht Olympics: Organise a mini Olympics with events like swimming races and inflatable obstacle courses. It’s a great way to keep kids active and engaged, with the added bonus of crew and adults joining in the fun.

Treasure Hunt: A well-planned treasure hunt can be an exciting adventure for kids. Use themed items and clues to lead them on a quest around the yacht, keeping them occupied for hours.
