At Red Baron Charters, we’re passionate about creating unforgettable sailing experiences for families exploring the stunning waters of St. Maarten/St. Martin. Whether your family is made up of seasoned sailors or this is your first time on the ocean, a catamaran trip with us promises an adventure that’s safe, exciting, and tailored to your needs. In this guide, we’ll share our insider tips on how to make the most of your family’s sailing journey.
Why Choose a Catamaran Charter for Your Family Vacation?
Catamarans are ideal for families because of their stability, space, and comfort. Our vessel, Red Baron, offers a smooth, spacious, and relaxing ride for guests of all ages. Compared to a traditional single-hull boat, a catamaran’s double-hull design makes it more stable on the water, reducing the chance of seasickness and creating a safer environment for younger children.
With plenty of deck space, our catamaran allows your family to spread out, relax, and enjoy panoramic views of the Caribbean Sea. Plus, we’re equipped with all the essentials for a family-friendly trip, from life vests to onboard snacks, ensuring you and your kids are comfortable and secure throughout the journey.
Planning Your Day on the Water
At Red Baron Charters, we believe in making each sailing day as smooth as the waters you’ll be sailing on! We recommend starting the day with a light breakfast and arriving at Dock Maarten in Philipsburg. Our captain will give you a quick safety briefing before we set sail, heading to some of the island’s most beautiful beaches and bays.
You can choose from several customizable routes, depending on your family’s preferences. Whether you’d like to visit the famous Maho Beach, known for its low-flying planes, or want a peaceful snorkel around Creole Rock, we’ll make sure the itinerary suits you. We also know that kids love to take breaks, so we plan ample stops for swimming and snorkeling, allowing them to explore the colorful underwater world of St. Martin’s coral reefs.
Fun Activities for Kids Onboard
Our catamaran charter is more than just a boat ride – it’s a floating playground! We carry snorkeling gear for kids and adults, giving everyone a chance to discover the vibrant marine life below the surface. Young sailors can try their hand at “steering” under the captain’s guidance, a thrilling experience that will make them feel like true sea captains.
For families with younger kids, our spacious deck offers safe, shaded areas where they can play or relax. Pack their favorite beach toys and don’t forget the sunscreen; we’re all about making the day comfortable and engaging for everyone.
Tips for a Perfect Day on the Water
To ensure you have an incredible family adventure, here are a few of our top tips:
- Bring Sun Protection: The Caribbean sun is intense, so remember to bring hats, sunglasses, and reef-safe sunscreen for everyone.
- Stay Hydrated: We provide water and refreshments, but bringing extra water bottles for the kids is always a good idea.
- Pack Light: A small bag with swimwear, towels, and snacks is all you’ll need, as our crew will handle the rest!
