Top 5 Family-Friendly Yacht Charters in Italy

Best for: Families with younger children needing a dedicated kids' cabin

SEAZEN II takes first place because her accommodation has been unusually well considered for families.

The 21.4m Sunreef 70 operates across Italy, including Sardinia and Sicily, and accommodates up to eight guests in four cabins. She was refitted in 2023.

Her biggest advantage is a dedicated children's cabin positioned aft in the port hull. It contains three beds, including two bunks and a separate drawer-style bed. Parents, meanwhile, have a spacious master cabin in the opposite hull, while the remaining guest cabins provide double beds and ensuite bathrooms.

That arrangement is particularly useful for families with several children who would rather keep the kids together than split them across conventional doubles.

Her 10.9m beam also creates the wide living and deck spaces that make Sunreef catamarans so comfortable for family holidays.

Water activities include a SeaBob, wakeboard, waterskis, paddleboards, a sea scooter, towables and snorkeling equipment.

Why families will love SEAZEN II: The purpose-built three-bed children's cabin gives her one of the most practical family layouts in the Italian charter fleet.

Best for: Luxury family holidays with exceptional outdoor space

FELICITA is the strongest choice for families wanting a newer and more luxurious catamaran.

The 23.9m Sunreef 80 was built in 2024 and cruises throughout Italy, including Sardinia, Sicily and the mainland coast. She accommodates up to 10 guests in five suites with a professional crew of four.

Her outdoor areas are exceptionally well suited to family life.

The flybridge includes a Jacuzzi, large dining table, lounge seating, sun pads, bar and BBQ. Forward, there is a sunken lounge and twin trampolines, while the aft cockpit leads directly to a hydraulic swim platform for easy access to the sea.

That gives different generations plenty of room to spread out without feeling separated.

The combination of swimming, watersports, alfresco dining and the Jacuzzi means there is always somewhere for children, teenagers and adults to spend time.

Why families will love FELICITA: Five suites, enormous Sunreef living spaces, a Jacuzzi and easy sea access make her an exceptional multigenerational family yacht.

Best for: Families wanting a brand-new catamaran with child-focused water equipment

ANKAWER VI is particularly appealing for active families.

The 22.78m Sunreef 70 Sail was built in 2025 and operates around Sardinia, the Amalfi Coast and the Italian Riviera. She accommodates eight guests in standard cabin accommodation across four ensuite cabins, including a master suite and three doubles.

Her family-friendly credentials become even clearer when looking at the equipment onboard.

The toy selection includes kayaks, paddleboard, wakeboard, two underwater scooters, waterskis, snorkeling equipment, towable sofa and a water hammock. Importantly, the yacht also carries children's swimming armbands and watersports life jackets in children's sizes.

Electric bicycles provide another option for families who want to explore ashore during stops along the Italian coast.

The wide catamaran layout provides extensive sunbathing and lounge areas, while the full crew supports a more relaxed experience for parents.

Why families will love ANKAWER VI: Her combination of a brand-new Sunreef layout, child-sized safety equipment and varied activities makes her particularly well prepared for family charters.

Best for: Families wanting quiet cruising, technology and watersports

ONE PLANET offers one of the most distinctive family experiences in this group.

The 23.5m Sunreef 70 ECO was built in 2023 and cruises Sardinia and Sicily during summer. She accommodates eight guests across four cabins with a crew of four.

Her electric propulsion and solar technology are designed to reduce noise and environmental impact, which creates a particularly peaceful environment when cruising or relaxing at anchor.

For families, there is also plenty to do.

ONE PLANET carries four paddleboards, two SeaBobs, two wing foils, an eFoil, wakeboard, waterskis, snorkeling equipment and a four-seat towable. There is also an indoor and outdoor home cinema, providing a useful evening activity after a full day on the water.

Her Williams jet tender accommodates up to nine people, meaning the family can head ashore or participate in activities together.

Why families will love ONE PLANET: Quiet electric cruising, home cinema and a serious water-toy collection make her particularly attractive to families with older children and teenagers.

Best for: Relaxed family cruising with excellent value

ALKIMIA is a strong choice for families who want Sunreef space without moving into the price bracket of the newest 80ft yachts.

The 22.41m Sunreef 74 was built in 2015 and refitted in 2025. She operates throughout Italy, including Sardinia and Sicily, and accommodates up to 10 guests across four cabins.

Her 45m² cockpit is one of her biggest family advantages.

It flows directly into the bright salon, creating a large shared living area where everyone can gather for meals or relax between stops.

Her water-toy collection includes two paddleboards, two sea scooters, inflatable kayaks, wakeboard, Banana Boat, towable and snorkeling equipment, supported by a Williams Turbojet tender.

Supplied weekly rates begin at €40,000, making her a compelling alternative to some of the newer large Sunreefs.

Why families will love ALKIMIA: A recent refit, generous social spaces and a varied toy collection make her an excellent family option at a comparatively accessible rate.
