How families can find the perfect vacation on the water

Perhaps you are familiar with this scenario: The idea of a boating vacation sounds wonderful—sun, sea, freedom. But then the questions and doubts arise: Is it safe for our children? What equipment do we need? When is the best time to book? Do we absolutely need a skipper? What if the weather is not favorable?

You are not alone. Many families who have booked with us have faced the same questions.

Here you can find out how other families planned their dream vacation – and maybe you'll find yourself in their stories.

“We wanted our children to be safe” – The Felber family from Switzerland

Your safety and that of your children is our top priority. Our boats are equipped with modern safety systems, life jackets for all ages, and child-friendly equipment. So you can relax and feel good from day one.

“We wanted exactly what suited us and our extended family. From the size of the boat to the equipment.” – The Reiter family from the Czech Republic

We don't offer rigid package deals. In a personal consultation, we clarify all your wishes and questions in advance – and put together your vacation individually. You decide which extras you want. You can choose from air conditioning, a washing machine, modern navigation technology, or water sports equipment, for example.

Here's how other families have booked:

  • Family Reiter chose a spacious catamaran with air conditioning and a washing machine, perfect for a two-week tour with small children.
  • Family Subotic combined SUP boards, snorkeling equipment, and board games for the teenagers.

“We wanted to enjoy the sea – not just navigate it” – The Mooser family from Germany

Many families opt for a complete package with a skipper:

  • Maximum safety for everyone on board
  • No stress with navigation and mooring
  • Personal tips for hidden bays and natural highlights
  • More time for shared experiences

On the day of check-in, your skipper will give you a detailed briefing: they will show you the boat, explain all its functions, and answer your questions. This way, you'll start your vacation well prepared and feeling confident.

The Mooser family initially considered steering the boat themselves, but then decided on a skipper so they could visit more remote islands in a relaxed manner and enjoy the time with their three children.


“What if the weather doesn't cooperate?” – Stay flexible

If it does get stormy, there are clear alternatives: changed routes, safe harbors, or weather-appropriate excursions. No day will be wasted and your vacation won't be ruined – unless you go swimming, of course. 😉

“We wanted to secure our desired date in good time so that we would have enough time to prepare and get exactly the motorboat we had in mind.” – The Markovitz family from Switzerland

The earlier you book, the greater the selection of boats, dates, and extras. Many families secure their desired dates for the coming summer as early as fall—and thus benefit from the best availability.

Conclusion

A family vacation on the water with BRAIN Yachting combines all three components: safety, comfort, and unparalleled freedom. With individual advice, modern equipment, and flexible planning, your idea will become the vacation of a lifetime – just like it has been for many families before you.
