Can you bring a baby on a crewed yacht charter?

Yes, you can bring a baby on a crewed yacht charter, but each yacht sets its own minimum-age policy, so confirming it before shortlisting is step one. Some owners welcome infants; others exclude children under 2 or under 5 outright, usually at the insurer’s insistence. On yachts that do take babies, the practical setup matters: netted trampolines on catamarans, shaded cockpit space, a cabin that works for a travel crib, and infant life jackets, which most yachts do not carry below roughly 30 pounds, so families bring their own. Crew are not childcare. A stewardess may happily help, but dedicated care must be arranged in advance, sometimes as an extra nanny berth. List the baby’s age on the guest list when choosing the yacht, not after booking.
