Why M/Y Junior Is Perfect for Family Yacht Holidays
A family yacht charter is one of the most rewarding holiday experiences in the world — and one that children remember for the rest of their lives. Swimming in crystal-clear coves, learning to paddleboard, watching dolphins from the flybridge, and eating chef-prepared meals under the stars.
M/Y Junior's crew are experienced with families of all ages. From toddler-safe meal planning to teenager-approved water sports, every detail is considered. The yacht's four en-suite cabins mean parents and children have their own private spaces, while the multiple outdoor decks offer room for everyone to spread out.
The Balearic Islands are one of the safest and most family-friendly cruising grounds in the Mediterranean, with calm waters, short distances between anchorages, and reliable summer weather. Mallorca, Formentera and Menorca all offer shallow sandy beaches that are perfect for young swimmers.
What Awaits You
Water Toys for Every Age
M/Y Junior carries an extraordinary water-toy fleet: two Seabob F5 underwater scooters, a Williams Sportjet 435 tender, Fliteboard eFoil, stand-up paddleboards, snorkelling gear, inflatable water platform, towable tubes, and fishing equipment. Whether your children are 5 or 15, there's always something exciting to do.
Private Chef — Children's Menus
Our onboard chef prepares fresh, healthy meals tailored to your family. Children's menus, allergy accommodations, and favourite foods are all arranged in advance. Many families tell us the food is their children's favourite part — especially the fresh fish caught that morning or the homemade pizza on the flybridge.
Safe, Shallow Anchorages
The captain knows every family-friendly anchorage in the Balearics — shallow turquoise water where children can swim safely from the swim platform, sandy beaches for building castles, and calm coves protected from wind and waves.
Educational Experiences
A yacht charter is naturally educational — marine biology through snorkelling, geography through navigation, history through island exploration, and languages through cultural encounters. Many parents tell us their children learn more in a week at sea than in a month at school.

M/Y Junior is a brand-new 2024 Sunseeker 88 motor yacht — 26.38 metres of British engineering and Mediterranean style. Four en-suite cabins, professional crew of four including a private chef, and an extraordinary fleet of water toys.
