Yachting is in the midst of a change, for the better, with more multi-generational families traveling together. While the adults are enjoying these voyages of discovery, yacht travel provides children opportunities to learn and have fun, too. Pelorus’ Imagine This taps into their imagination to create special experiences for them. All the while, of course, Mom, Dad, Grandma, and Grandpa can come along.
The idea grew from Pelorus’ team noting how children increasingly have a voice in the travel-planning process. The company first addressed this last year with the launch of Pelorus Junior. Briefly, Pelorus Junior tailors parallel itineraries strictly for kids, while their families are on a Pelorus-designed trip. The kids are in good hands, with Junior Adventure hosts accompanying them. For good measure, though, Pelorus staffers say they spoke with their own kids, too. In fact, they asked their children to share their wildest dream vacations. They then figured out how to make similar requests possible.
Importantly, Pelorus wants to pique youngsters’ curiosity about the world, and tap their creativity. So, for example, a child fascinated by monkeys can go kayaking in Costa Rica, further seeing the fascinating pink river dolphins. Simultaneously, he or she can assist a researcher in setting up cameras to capture footage of the local wildlife. Children who love stories of pirates, meanwhile, can embark on a treasure hunt in the Bahamas during a yacht charter. The trip includes a stop in Staniel Cay. The island is where the famed ship The Ranger, belonging to the equally famous Calico Jack, is rumored to be.
Farther-flung voyages are possible, too. Pelorus’ Imagine This can create a star-gazing experience like no other in the Pacific Ocean. The lack of light pollution lets seemingly billions of stars shine brightly. An onboard astronomer can teach your child about the visible constellations, and perhaps a planet or two.
Regardless of where their imagination takes them, your child—well, you—start by contacting one of Pelorus’ Yachting and Travel Designers. They’ll speak with your family in depth to get to know you better, down to your child’s favorite toy and cookie. A custom proposal then follows, with details to delight.
