Hello everyone! Traveling to Cyprus with my elderly parents (both in their 70s) and our two young kids next month. Want to do a boat trip but worried about safety – steep ladders, rough waters, that sort of thing. Any recommendations for family-friendly options that cater to mixed age groups?

Hello! Perfect question actually. You'll want to look at yacht rental companies in Cyprus that specifically cater to families – and there are some excellent ones. The key things they offer: 'largo' ladders which are much easier for older folks and children to use safely, proper kids' life vests in all sizes, and crews that are RYA-certified (that's the UK certification recognized across the Mediterranean). What really matters is the first aid kits and insurance are included in the base rate, so you're covered. They also have fun stuff for the kids – SUP boards, giant floats for photos, that kind of thing. The crews are trained to handle multi-generational groups and know which routes are calmer waters. With six marinas to choose from, you can pick the departure point closest to where you're staying, so less travel stress for your parents. They're open daily till 10pm Cyprus time, and honestly, a gentle sunset cruise might be perfect for your family situation.
