As a marine biologist and rather spoilt diver, I know the Rowleys have some of the world’s healthiest reefs. I’m keen to find out why, and see it for myself. With coral reefs under man-made pressure worldwide, I seize the day. For the best possible experience, I’ve joined a five-night cruise on board superyacht True North. True North steams from Broome overnight, and I wake to a view of Clerke Reef, a 15-kilometre-long reef encircling a turquoise lagoon. Captain Gav Graham finesses the 50-metre boat into the inner lagoon through the narrow, shallow channel and I wonder if he and his boat are somehow connected.

Privacy. Luxury. An oasis at sea. These are the qualities that superyachts are often associated with when seen dropping anchor off the coast of St Tropez. Offering a level of opulence unrivalled by any other scenario in the world, can it really go hand-in-hand with young children? “Superyachts are perfect for family holidays on so many levels,” says Jim Evans, founder of boutique brokerage firm SuperYachtsMonaco. “Owning or chartering a superyacht allows a busy family to come together when the trend is for families to fragment. It offers something for everyone across the generations.” One Northern European owner of a 60m motor yacht has spent time on board his yacht with his three children since they were infants. Having experienced a sailing holiday as a child himself, the adventure of discovering new destinations is something that has remained with him into adulthood. Now as a father, it’s the close-knit nature of yachting that is the key. Two owners explain why a superyachting holiday is perfect with kids in tow - link in bio. #superyachtlife #yachtcharter #yachtowner #boatholiday #yachtholiday #familyaffair

“I grew up boating with my family in and around New York City. My father had owned small cabin cruisers since before I was born. We’d head up to Long Island Sound, Newport or Nantucket for holidays. This was before electronics or anything like that, so when I got bored on the boat I was given a pen and a piece of paper and told to draw something. That was when I started drawing boats. I still have a lot of those sketches starting from around four years old. I was hooked. I didn’t want to become anything else and I drew incessantly. I took a degree in architecture, then afterwards I did a degree in small craft design at the Yacht Design Institute in Maine and went to work straight away for Sparkman & Stephens in New York. After about three years, I started to see what European designers were doing and decided to visit the Genoa Boat Show. That was 1986. As soon as I walked in, I was blown away and realised Europe was where I wanted to be. Evan K.
