THE BEST BESPOKE YACHT TRIPS FOR CHILDREN AND PARENTS

Pelorus in the press

Magical marine missions and expert-led adventures, Pelorus is spotlighted in The Times for its extraordinary family-focused yacht expeditions.

We’re thrilled to see Pelorus featured in The Times by Caroline White, exploring how our bespoke yacht experiences are inspiring the next generation of explorers through mythical creatures, turtle rescues, pirate treasure hunts, and even astronaut-led stargazing.

As Caroline writes, “Pelorus has a simple answer to the perennial question of ‘what should we do with the children this summer?’ They ask the children.” From there, the adventure begins.

One such expedition saw a young guest’s dream - “I want to swim with mermaids and rescue turtles” - become a reality aboard the 45-meter Celestia. While snorkelling in Komodo’s protected waters, she encountered green turtles and manta rays. And the mermaid? A professional freediver in costume, guiding her through coral gardens via glass-bottom kayak.

Treasure hunts have become a hallmark of Pelorus family journeys, featuring elaborate narratives, costumed actors, and high-tech treasure retrievals using remotely operated vehicles (ROVs), all designed to captivate young imaginations. At the same time, parents relax with cocktails on deck.

Beyond imagination-led adventures, Pelorus also partners with leading experts, from penguin researchers and cetacean specialists to Michelin-starred chefs and even astronauts, to enrich journeys with hands-on discovery and unique learning moments.

As the article notes, “Whether it’s through experts or imaginative approaches, the idea is to take an extraordinary experience and make it transformative.”

We’re proud to design voyages that awaken curiosity, strengthen family bonds, and leave even the most well-travelled children wide-eyed.
