Catamaran, usually
Twin hulls stay flat at anchor, which matters more with children aboard than any other single factor.

Experiences Family Aboard any charter · Labuan Bajo Charter Desk
Flat at anchor, shallow at the beach, railed on deck.
The three things that decide whether a family charter works have nothing to do with luxury: how much the boat moves at night, how deep the water is where the children swim, and whether the crew has done it before.
The short answer
Kanawa shore snorkel, dragon trek, Pink Beach, sandbar at low tide. Suits all ages; the catamaran is the default recommendation. Season: April–August for the calmest water. Equipment: child life jackets, continuous deck rails, shallow-water snorkelling, kids’ menu.
What makes it work
Twin hulls stay flat at anchor, which matters more with children aboard than any other single factor.
Kanawa and Pink Beach start at ankle depth. No tender ride, no drop-off, no deep entry.
The trek is the thing children talk about afterwards. Rangers are used to family groups and set the short trail.
On paper
Everything above sits inside the all-inclusive charter rate unless noted otherwise. Park entrance and conservation fees are re-checked close to sailing.
Inside the rate
A private charter sets its own hours. Day boats run to a fixed schedule; you do not — which is usually the difference between doing this well and doing it in a queue. Specific inclusions depend on the yacht selected, our charter desk will confirm the full list for your chosen vessel.
Before you commit
The catamaran first — twin hulls stay flat at anchor and the deck area per metre is the largest in the fleet.
Life jackets in child sizes, continuous rails, and crew trained for family groups. The shallow sites need no swimming ability at all.
A kids’ menu is standard. Tell the galley the specifics at booking rather than at the first meal.
Four to six. Longer works if the party splits its days; shorter loses too much to transit.
Tell the desk this is the priority and how many days you have. The route is planned around it, and the written quote comes back the same day.
