M/Y Letty
Family Departures



ABOUT THE M/V LETTY FAMILY DEPARTURES - in their own words:
Ecoventura welcomes families with children ages twelve and up on all expedition vessels throughout the year.
Families with children ages five and up can travel on any of our designated Family Departures.

Family departures, including Family TEEN departures and Family College departure are geared towards families who prefer to travel with other families with similar aged children. Designated family departures are offered over school breaks and feature age-appropriate activities depending on the ages and number of children on board. Our naturalists know how to bring these Islands they love to life and to balance learning with fun for the entire family.

Family departures are ideal for families traveling with children ages 7 to 17 – and up
MOST of our family departures are families with teenage children age 12 to 17 and even college age 18 to early twenties and these trips will be more physically active than most. Our guides will optimize the longest trails and all kayaking and snorkeling opportunities, with less down time mid-day. You will be in the company of other families with children of similar ages. If there is sufficient demand, we may have two yachts with families on board make every effort to assign similar ages of children together on the same yacht. At the time of booking, you can inquire to the ages of the children already confirmed.

New – Family- College Departures
Thanks to a growing trend on the Ecoventura yachts, we can now designate a few departures on one 1 of the 3 yachts for families traveling with grown college age 18-25 children. Ask for specific departure dates.

Activities on board family departures for children and teenagers
Kids can visit the bridge and learn about navigational charts and tie nautical knots with our Captain. Special parties include games with prizes, drawing contests, talent shows and ice cream social sundaes. On itinerary B, we celebrate crossing the equator with a King Neptune costume party. We also have board games, books and DVDs on board that are suitable for children and teenagers. There are masks, fins, wet suits and life vests in child sizes available. A separate briefing geared toward the younger ones and kid-friendly menus are offered on family departures, in addition to the regular menu for adults.
