Seventy metres is the length at which a family charter yacht becomes a self-contained world. Eight yachts in this band carry the Family tag, each vetted for child-safe layouts, experienced crew and water toys that keep every age group occupied. At this size, the hull provides separation between adult and children’s areas, beach clubs at water level and tenders large enough for beach landings with the full family in tow.
Lunasea, a seventy three metre Feadship, carries pool, cinema, beach club and spa for twelve guests. Lady Vera, also seventy three metres, adds a helipad for remote island access. Calex from Benetti pairs a beach club and steam room with seven cabins at sixty seven metres. Creole, a sixty five metre sailing classic, brings eleven guests under canvas. Nectar, Sycara V, Bleu de Nimes and Marquise complete the fleet with layouts for twelve to twenty five guests.
Weekly rates open at two hundred and twenty four thousand euros for Creole and reach eight hundred and seventy five thousand for Lady Vera. The median sits near four hundred and eighty five thousand. Add roughly thirty percent for the advance provisioning allowance, covering fuel, food, berthing and drinks. School holiday weeks carry a premium.
The Mediterranean dominates the summer calendar, with the South of France, Sardinia, Croatia and the Greek islands all within reach. From November, several yachts reposition to the Caribbean and the Bahamas, where warm water, calm seas and short island hops suit younger children. At this size, range and stability mean the itinerary is rarely constrained.
