1.????? Kids can try driving the yacht (can’t do that with a motorhome).

2.????? You don’t have to stop for them to go to the bathroom (there’s one aboard).

3.????? Every port is a new adventure, yet you are always home (no moving in and out of hotels).

4.????? Kids climb on everything; a sailboat is an eternal jungle gym.

5.????? Sailboats go slow, allowing for quality time together.
