If you want luxury that speaks to you and your family, then you have to redefine what that means! A family escape is different for everyone, as some love vacations filled with strenuous activity and others love to relax in the sun. A more private experience away from resorts among the sun, sea and waves is only possible with services like Premier Boating, which offer sturdy water vessels for your little sea dogs who crave a bit more comfort and adventure this vacation.

Carefully Consider the Destination

Tips for Planning a Seamless Multi-Island Caribbean Escape - Sunset on the Beach

Sure, there are plenty of coastal towns and cities all over the world. However, they aren’t all ideal water vacation spots. Some come with pretty choppy waters that only experienced sailors can handle. Of course, this shouldn’t put you off, though, if you want to learn something new. However, for most people, a boat holiday means sunshine and calm waves. For this, more exotic destinations are best, such as Florida, the Caribbean and the South East Asia region.

A Vacation to Remember on a Cruise Ship

Roughly 30 million people take a cruise vacation every year. Cruise ships are often cited as a dream holiday for many people, but to be fair, they are more affordable than ever. Of course, it depends on what you want, the time of year and the provider. For example, there are magical experiences you can only do on a Disney cruise, which is amazing for the little ones. Of course, there are also adult-oriented cruise experiences for relaxation and time away from the world.

Schedule Relaxing Seaside Activities

What you do on your vacation is up to you, and it always should be. You won’t enjoy your time doing something you don’t really want to, so plan ahead and discuss it with the family. The nature of water and coastal holidays means everyone gets to do what they want, even if that means doing nothing! Swimming in calm waters, sunbathing and even walking the a beach are among the most relaxing, while the kids and teens get out for some jet skiing and paragliding!

Plan to Beat the Crowds

Water and coastal vacations are pretty popular for obvious reasons. People love to be near the ocean, and that means you can expect crowds at certain times of the year. Summer is the big one when the kids are off school and families have more time together. But there are also seasonal events all through the year in coastal towns, such as boating galas. Planning outside these peak times will help you beat the crowds and maybe save some money, too.
